She will be in the Mares race, Ruby will be on Briar Hill, and will have a good ride.
That's my take on it fwiw!! |
|
By:
Annie will run in the World Hurdle, Aurora D'estruval is out which leaves the door wide open for Mullins to run Glens Melody which almost won the Mares last year, Glens would be clear fav and Annie ran a cracking race in the WH last year and would have a great favs chance, i don't think Mullins will turn the chance down to win the bigger race now.

No way will she run in the world hurdle first time out.Connections aren't silly
|
|
By:
Well none of us know what she will run in,so we have to wait till confirmed by those that will know.
Personally I would completely agree Leonardo, don't think they would run her in the WH after the season she's had,or not had!! Be real tough for her to compete in that race,whereas the Mares would be a lot easier and she might get away with it in that race where she is a fair way ahead of the others. |

"money is coming for Annie Power in the World Hurdle"
... nothing to do with the fact it's a risk free bet in the "Non Runner Money Back" markets currently offered by the majority of bookmakers? Some people need to wake up. |

For what it's worth, Annie would be going World Hurdle had her season not been interrupted through injury. The original plan was never World Hurdle but the fact More Of That misses out would definitely have tempted Mullins/Ricci/Ruby had she went through normal preperations. It will still be in Ricci's mind that he could have 4 strong contenders for the big ones (Faugheen - Champion Hurdle, Champagne Fever - Champion Chase, Annie Power - World Hurdle and Djakadam - Gold Cup) but she missed the whole of December and has not seen a racecourse since Punchestown. There's a Grade 1 there for the taking ...

Think he meant on here mate. Laid as big as 100/1 all the way down to 8/1.
Now bits and pieces of 12-13/1 on offer. Everytime someone hears the decision isn't yet made they take a bit of whats on offer just in case she's switched and goes off 9/4. Each to their own. |

I wouldn't be surprised if Mullins ran Abbyssial in this, given that the English handicapper has given him 8lbs more than the Irish for the Coral Cup and County Hurdle.
His rating of 156 only puts him a few pounds short of Zarkandar, Rock on Ruby and Un Temps Pour Tout. Had a little ew saver at 40's NRNB in case he goes for it rather than carrying top weight in a handicap. |

Lieutenant Colonel very weak as mentioned above. Anywon heard anything ?ta

By:
Any guesses on who will get the ROR ride, who is available that could ride it?? Nick Schofield rides a lot for Fry so I would make him fav to get it. The only other rider i can think of who might come in for it is Daryl Jacob...
|
|
By:
I think he's already committed to Reve De Sivola.
|
|
By:
Arrrrr stupid me at the time of writing thought Dickie Johnson would be on RDS. I guess Dickie is another name you could throw in the hat, though I don't think he's ever had a ride for Harry Fry. Guess he's the highest profile and most experienced jock available at the min though.

it was his destiny to win the world hurdle. |

takes away a real big part of the intrigue of the race.

Certainly a question that needed answering

still like Lt Colonel for this, he is big! - built like Barracuda and just does enough in front, intriguing race.
|
|
By:
How about Townend on Abyssial, if they run him here?
|
|
By:
There is money waiting to back them both but it strikes me that not many folks seem to fancy the Nichols pair, as each time there has been a non-runner, More of That, Annie P, ROR, their odds have always settled back at 5/1.

By:
I like Abbyssial in this, although a lot to prove stamina wise.
Thought they'd go for this when the English handicapper gave him loads of weight. 40's a big price to find it his stamina holds out. |

Agree this fella could turn out to be great value managed to grab some 9s the place

I don't know what I got more wrong - this or the Champion Chase.
Was at trials day when they had the Cleeve, and I would never have thought Cole Harden would have any chance of making up that much distance with SDR. Those who predicted that the Irish form was not very strong were spot on. I'd keep SDR over hurdles if I was Paul Nicholls, and it'll be interesting if they run Zark in the 2.5m or 3m hurdle at Aintree. |
