On soft ground, its between Solwhit and HF imo, and personally would nt be backin Solwhit first run of the season! Looks like the Fly to me.

Oh and seriously lookin forward to the race ;)

I Agree with what uv said, 13/8 very skinny on HF tho, what if Solwhit turns up in great order that 5s looks v tasty then

Jumbo Rio with a chance.

Not a hope

I`ll hold you to that. ;)

Go Native on the bridle by 6L. While Carberry has a bottle of jamesons in one hand, a guitar in the other, singing Molly Malone while smoking a cigar at the same time, wearing an Elvis costume and sunglasses (not for the weather just for effect). Youve been warned, ta.

If they all run and it's not an absolute bog, only three horses can win this race. Hurricane, Binocular and Solwhit. Hurricane defo sets the standard tho!

wont go native be running and probably winning at down royal on friday?

He is and shud win but I don't think he's up to the class needed to win the Maplewood!

Are Dobbins not the new sponsors?

go native on soft ground,u joking me

HF is th hype horse for the yr, I can see holes in his form,far from invinsible, hel prob win d next day but its still along way to Chelt an Solwhit prob wont be at his best.

55K SH1T enough prizemoney

prob best watched

Looks like HF will be the only horse turning up - no one wants to take him on!!

Solwhit a possible runner.

Will Binocular def run??

HOPES of an early showdown at Punchestown next Sunday between Hurricane Fly and Binocular, first and second favourites for the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle, have been dashed.


Trainer Nicky Henderson said on Sunday that Binocular "is not quite ready" to line up in the Dobbins and Madigans at Punchestown Hurdle, a Grade 1 registered as the Morgiana Hurdle, and will instead return at Cheltenham in December.

"Binocular worked impressively for AP (McCoy) the other morning but he is not quite ready and needs a little more timebefore his first run," said Henderson. "We don't want to travel to Ireland to get a hard race there. That would be stupid at this stage of the season."

Binocular will now start his campaign in the Boylesports.com International Hurdle which the five-year-old won last season when it was transferred to Ascot when bad weather put paid to the Cheltenham card it was originally scheduled for.

Binocular, third to stable companion Punjabi in the Champion Hurdle last March, is a top-priced 5-1 with Boylesports and Victor Chandler for the March 16 championship, while Hurricane Fly is 3-1 with the majority of bookmakers.

No its not!

twas!

I think Hurricane Fly is a ridiculous price for CH and it is hard to know what we'll learn Sunday. Muirhead'll be inconvenienced by the likely slow pace, whereas how busy Solwhit will be is anyone's guess.

I seem to recall Eye Mall putting the punters away re Solwhit last year.

This is true, and backed the grey for good measure.

Where the hell is Jumbo Rio? X-(

no one wants to take on HF this yr, only in chelt when they have to, so come Chelt we still wont know how good HF is?

Hel have to race against Binoc/solwhit/punjabi to be truly assesed

Will we even see it this week-end!

I suppose they will sacrifice Saturday first in Punchestown.

Mallow looks nigh impossible imo.
