Thousand stars

Think this is the race giggsy. Market suggests he ain't going for CH, but you never know with stable. I'd agree 25's is decent for WH, if he turns up there on the day won't be that price....cue him starting at 50's.

Not for me, as not a race I'd normally bet in, but good luck.

i'd be a touch concerned by the stable suggesting that the Aintree hurlde and the french champion hurlde are his main targets. Prize money for the French CH is similar to that for the world hurdle but he won't face anything like Big Buck's. but it might be difficult to get him tip-top for March and June.

If he were mine, I think I'd send him straight to Aintree. He ran well there last year, and is unlikely to trouble the favourites in his two Cheltenham options. Having said that, 25/1 would be massive if he did run in the World Hurdle, and a worthy each way bet.

If he was declared for the World Hurdle, you would be lucky to get 25 on here and you'd get nothing like that with the bookies who will be aware that this is a bad each way race.
