Cotton Mill - County Hurdle

Has someone said he isn't going for the Champion? Perfectly reasonable seasonal debut running second to a very good horse on ground that would have been far softer than ideal. If the ground dries up definite each-way chance with O'Regan back on board.

Can't see O'Regan riding him in the Champion Hurdle, he'll be on Countrywide Flame.

He's riding Cotton Mill according to what I've heard

If that's the case why didn't he ride him yesterday. If he thought he was a champion hurdler he should have been itching to ride him off 145 in a handicap. County or Coral Cup seems more likely to me.

Because he had two rides, both in grade 1's for Ferguson???
