    That's not the same thing as his booking being a positive for the horse.

    Rathvinden will vouch for that
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    It doesn't look promising at Punchestown.

    Some saying the fog is improving slowly, some saying they can’t see 50ft in front of them.

    I’d guess nothing majorly improved in next hour it’ll be off.

    This race is vexing me. I fancy Allaho but Paddy's comments on going back to the drawing board with him on The Road to Cheltenham video worries me. Hoping he runs in the Kinloch Brae.
    I think last year's renewal was poor tbh. APT jumped poorly, didn't travel and wasn't beaten that far so I'm against SC and Min.
    Mister Fisher's form was not advertised by Clondaw Castle today
    Imperial Aura I can't have at all. Form is very underwhelming.
    I'm thinking Melon or Defi but without much enthusiasm. Defi likely goes QM if he wins next week. Melon never wins. Samcro?

    I'll be betting Samcro. Only one race they are worried about all season for him.

    Fair one. A lot of Gordie's are overs after Xmas shambles. I might do him in an ew double with Abas

    322/1 double, ive seen worse.

    Aba is a criminal price at 18/1 for Champion Hurdle.

    This.

    I've got some nice antepost slips, and will top up again at some point.

    He's also a great price for antepost each way multiples with some of the fancied horses for those so minded.

    The only problem is as others have pointed out the race looks like being a max field so the e/w angle would be very thin. He is nicely priced though on what has been a nothing campaign.
