Rendlesham Hurdle 2026

[The Fortune Teller]

Any opinions on how good this favourite Kabral is people?

I don't think it'll be a one horse race myself with some getting a weight concession.

My contention is one of the handicappers yet to try graded company, might step up again and improve.

Of those we have Henri The Second, French Ship and Lud'or.

Henri's best form is on right handed tracks and that would be a slight worry here.

French Ship has done it on a left handed track, while Lud'or ran a great race giving lumps of weight away the last day. I do like him for the future.

Lud'or at the prices for me at present, but I haven't backed him yet.

Any thoughts or feedback appreciated.

I'd put a date on that thread title before "you know who" turns up and I'm not talking about Lord Voldemort.

Not gonna lie, the fella would have been "dead to me" without that "2026."

Wouldn’t Paul Nicholls love it if he could strut about in the Winners Circle, though I guess he’ll be looking on muttering “should’ve been me, should’ve been me”. If the rain starts again and it goes heavy, though……….

Hopefully the serious form students will pile in to contribute after post 7 on this thread.

Ha sorry Barjy didn't see your post.

I wouldn't back against it.

Only value angle I can see is, if an on form Beauport sets out to make it a stiff test of stamina, on heavy ground.

They might not want Beauport to show too much ahead of the National weights coming out next week. He appeared not to stay, surprisingly enough, last year but did run freely. This is his first run after a wind-op and they might want the National to be his second, when the received wisdom appears to be that that is when they get most benefit.

A poorish run might not get its mark down (given it is a hurdles race) but a very strong one might see its mark go up, given how the UK handicapper operates.

This is a dangerous nickname, phonetically - it could lead to people calling the gentleman "Onion."

The fav was taken out today.

I really hope a few risked it for a chocolate biscuit, (as long as you are all nice people, and agree with everything I say), in terms of backing Lud'or at 16's ante post during the week for this, as assuming he wins, now at 6/4, you are sitting in an extremely pretty position.

It s not often you get 16s about a 6/4 shot in this game, with no rule 4 deductions pending.

Needless to say he had another entry in a handicap hurdle today, so I didn't risk it ante post.

I'd still like to see him win, just so he could justify my faith in him, and win one a few quid, albeit not at 16s ante post.

As you were...
