(Let's start at the top of the hill)For me...Overturn will lead with Peddlers Cross and Thousand Stars close in behind, Mille Chief and Dunguib heading MZilzal - I've had whopper prices about both of them but my judgement's been rank lately and I've totally fcuked up my ante-post portfolio, even though I'm £34 up on the race right now, whoever wins! I had four figures sums on both and they were FREEhttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/27208437/champion-hurdle-race-tactics?post_id=488834497#488834497Zilzal - I've had whopper prices about both of them but my judgement's been rank lately and I've totally fcuked up my ante-post portfolio, even though I'm £34 up on the race right now, whoever wins!

Thousand Stars can be handy, like he was time before last at Leopardstown and still run his race.

It's all about opinions and I don't fancy Thousand Stars a bit. Does anyone think (what I do) and that Overturn will set a strong gallop (if left alone) and then have a breather on the downhhttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/27208437/champion-hurdle-race-tactics?post_id=488826545#488826545FW - I hope you're right about those tactics and I'm wrong.

Whether he's good enough to win, I still have doubts.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/27208437/champion-hurdle-race-tactics?post_id=488823513#488823513DWM767 - I agree with you about Menorah in that he won't care how the race will be run.....no farting about with him as he'll just get on with the job like a real professional.
