    Apple's Jade wins whatever she turns up in. Hoping the mares.

    All over Supasundae for stayers, bad feeling they go Champion though.

    I think Supasundae is a solid place bet in this if he runs but while the ground went against him last year there wasn't much in the way of pace and his doubtful stamina seemed to catch him out. They go a good clip this year and it's surely going to suit horses like Paisley Park much more.

    Elliott mentioned Champion hurdle for Apples but said she's more likely to run in Mares. No mention of the stayers but yes, she'd most probably win if she did turn up.

    Just read that Lil Rockerfella is being redirected to this and chasing career shelved for now at least.

    Won't win though.

    After the Christmas Hurdle he said Stayers would be more likely than Champion in his interview; but more likely the Mares.... He is playing bingo

    Said in his stable tour they are going straight here with Penhill. They did last year and everything points to his form being best when run fresh.

    This is true but last year's renewal was run at a crawl on soft ground. I wonder if he'd be found out on better ground and a faster pace.

    I doubt that ground would be an issue. He's won on G/F and S/H. It's surely a 2 horse race so 11/2 ew nrnb is good value.
    The older I get the better I was.

    You not give Supasundae a chance?

    I think ground did him last year.

    I think he'll go Champion anyway but, no, I don't see him beating Penhill on any ground.

    He's in a couple of my ew multis. Fancy Black Op more at the prices.

    I actually meant the Mares' Hurdle- sorry, should have been clearer. Any word on Benie des Dieux (last year's winner)?

    She will be on a milk carton soon
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    GE says Samcro over lung infection and is working well, if he makes it to Cheltenham will be for the Stayers.

    Interesting to see him there. If GE is having a good week could see him being backed fairly heavily
