A little 12/1 taken today and a general drifter with no-one trying to back him under 11.5 at present. Is there a problem?

A bit concerned been backing him every week myself.

I saw this but seems to be nothing to me. Sometimes a bot hovers up all the lays for some reason and everyone jumps on the bandwagon believing the horse to be injured. Wouldn't be overly concerned myself.

I have never seen a horse jump so consistently well over hurdles, no wonder he wins so easily, he looks like a hurdling freak.
Just hope he retains that fluency when he returns to hurdles, I would prefer him, on his hurdling technique, to any other horse. Maybe his Flat race pipeopener scared some people, but I don't think you can compare that to his hurdling ability - he's average on the flat, and breathtaking over hurdles. |

He's a very very good horse. My gut feeling is that this was a very good crop of novices and 5 year olds don't tend to win top class renewals of the champion.

Average flat horse or not, i'd expect a potential champion hurdle winner to win a handicap off 86. Run was perfectly fine on paper, but I found the fact they went back to the flat odd in the first place so if you fancy this horse for March i'd wait until he jumps a hurdle next. He may get found out against Jezki/HF + etc.

I'm not sure sint. This was just a stepping stone and in order to get him spot on for the Morgiana as they felt he was only 75% fit.... a race like this would be better than any amount of home work imo. Not saying I think he is up to taking the big boys on, as I have absolutely no idea! But Im not sure HF, Jezki or any of the others would have been a penalty kick in the race, on the same terms and at this stage of the season. That run wouldnt sway me either way tbh.

Strange to announce it now, why not the next day?

Gave them a chance to clear up perhaps, and they didn't as quickly as expected, so given he's now short of work, will miss Morgiana as a sensible precaution.

looking for an excuse to bail out of a hot race imo
they'll just find 2 or 3 diddy hurdle races and meet the older horses for the first time in the champion hurdle you don't want to get your million euro horse's burst in november |

I suspect now is the time that OC fans should be piling in. Doesn't sound overly concerning and you'll probably pick up 7/1 on here.
He's gone from 9/2 to 7/1 while The New One has pretty well reversed that move. But nothing at all's really happened yet! (You really can't take the beating of ROR too seriously). |

Smelling a rat personally. Couldn't touch him with a barge pole.
