Looking forward to this one especially now Rayvin Black is entered...loves the mud...one of my fav's.

Think i will now take up my free RUK tickets...i will e-mail them tonight.

Shocking race imo

Agree stevo1. Hope TNO runs and gets beaten so they realise need to go World Hurdle

TNO jumped awful in this race last year

Stevo/roo...shocking race!!

it's the Champion Hdle trial at Haydock with the top 2 English challengers going head to head.

What was you expecting? Willie Mullins to send over Faugheen, Nichols Canyon and Arctic Fire

Not at all, just reflects poor standards of our 2M hurdlers at the moment

Thought Henderson may have run My Tent, but obviously not ready seems likely to go Wincanton next month?

Rayvin Black looks well overpriced to me at 20/1 with PP, considering the first two favourites have question marks about a shocking effort last time out and jumping in the ground respectively. My selection comes out about level with Melodic Rendezvous at the weights from Sandown, but MR is only 11/2.

They let me have a whopping £5.49 at 20/1!

Is entered and jocked up for 50k Handicap at Ascot on Sat as well fyi.

Ahh. Interesting, didn't notice his name in the field there. Maybe a good job they would only take the fiver then. If he were mine, I'd have a go on the softer ground at Haydock though personally: worth more and probably wouldn't take much improvement to get a place.

Wouldn't back PAC with stolen money at evens but be good to see him settle better and put this mob away, just so the Brits have some sort of challenger for the CH. TNO just doesn't seem the same horse and obviously big question marks over MTOY. If PAC flops again would have to be the worst home challenge for the CH in recent years?

I think TNO is still the same horse as he has always been, overrated overhyped and always given an excuse for getting beat by people(including myself)that have been suckered into backing him.

No Peace and Co

Hendo in a nutshell, goes from working well to not 100%. To be aimed at the Contenders at Sandown on the 6th according to Bromley.
