    The 2026 William Hill Handicap Hurdle

    Heavy ground means being in front is best. I've no idea what sectionals could possibly tell you about yesterday's race. They're never going to go fast enough on heavy for a pace collapse. To me he's a horse that you needed to be on yesterday and any race going forward will be a race too late.

    The 2026 William Hill Handicap Hurdle

    If a horse gets to the front and gets an uncontested lead on very heavy ground, it only needs to run to its mark to win. Anything held up yesterday may as well have been a NR. It was actually laughable how far behind All In You was, a good 35l behind the winner, when he made a mistake at the...

    The 2026 William Hill Handicap Hurdle

    All these superlatives about blowing the field apart, annihilation, and dismantling a good field. Would anyone like to give me a number for how many horses actually ran to a figure above 100 in the race?

    I’d be very careful about getting carried away with that form. He went forward on desperate ground in a race where horses couldn’t get to the main group, never mind the winner. I can’t ever remember a season where all the form before the Festival was on bottomless ground.

    Day of the race is the only market counts. It's currently 9.8 into 8.0.

    I'm surprised the Greatrex yoke is freely available at 15/2 for the Schwepps.

    I'm surprised you've got sucked in by the Skelton horse. It's all priced in. All In You is ridiculously well handicapped off 129. He'll be about 141 by seasons end.
