4houghts Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) Melon 9/4 (Betfair) , 7-1 for champion hurdle next year at cheltenham festival Nearly beat Buveur D'Air at cheltenham festivle Not had many runs for his age and was on the bridle and going the better in my eyes when he and Samcro both fell at Leopordstown think he will have to much speed for the fav GL Edited December 28, 2018 by 4houghts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Slasher McGurk Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I thought you might be more a Petit Mouchoire fan @4houghts, at the 25/1, won this race in 2016 beating Nichols Canyon who won the race in 2015, Only a 7 runner but Paddy Power are still paying 3 places. Flopped over fences and now back over hurdles, could have a sqeak if recapturing some former glory. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solario333 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I see RubyWalsh has Chosen Melon so thats a plus, but I wonder if Bedrock might surprise them all ... I will forecast the race. Melon may well win, but both Bedrock and Samcro have a squeak... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 If Ruby falls on Melon, (more than possible) Petit Mouchoir would have more than a shout, after backing both of the fallers yesterday, my confidence isnt there on his riding, always one or two from the last. ... No doubt melon wins if he gets round 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Power doing a special and paying 3 places in this 7 runner race as well, you could have had 25/1 last night it might even have been 30 for a short while.
