Mullins says he'll probably stay hurdling next season.
Odds on to line up in the Grand National then.

I need him to finish top-four to collect.
Name three horses other than BDA who will finish in front of him.

The two time Champion Hurdler up close & personal.

I think Barry might be best hanging up his riding boots at the end of the season. One more year might be one too many.
Harsh.
King's Stand maybe
On second thoughts...
Geraghty looked a bit shook looking and spoke like a man either very stressed or thinking of future adventures.
Right that's it, Your on the Ignore list, Banned for life even
How dare you mention something that just runs instead of runs and jumps over things
Not a Melon fan Art?
I'm still working on some figures for day one but I'm coming down to the idea that Buveur D'Air was well off his best form - and probably didn't need to be near it - to win the Champion Hurdle.
Comparative times and sectionals with the Supreme suggest the form is not much better than the novices' race. The proximity of Mick Jazz doesn't help.
I think the ground has probably been much more of a leveller in the Champion than in the Supreme. In the latter, the principals had carved out their reputations in midwinter ground whereas BDA had been seeing off weaker opposition in duff races.
It reminded me a wee bit of Rooster Booster being all out in heavy ground at Sandown to see of the mudlover Self Defense who was a vastly inferior animal.
We can all but put a line through the Champion form I reckon.
I thought I read somewhere that Summerville was staying hurdling ?

I got the impression the Supreme had a handicap's, here we come, look about it.
Ignoring the ground I took the opposite view Tanlic. And having done my numbers since the Festival I'm convinced the first two are very smart, and I'll also be watching the next four home with interest next season. The three after that could also be interesting if popping up in a handicap on better ground. I reckon that's going to turn out to be a smart Supreme.
