Seems strange to say it about such a young horse with so few runs under his belt, but today feels like a bit of a D-Day for Impaire Et Passe.
I mean…..what do you do with him if he’s beaten by State Man today? They might choose to have another crack at the DRF, but unless he turns the tables round there, it would seem futile to send him up against Constitution Hill in the Champion (which might be futile anyway, even if he does beat State Man).
The window for IET to make up into a Champion Hurdle horse looks fairly narrow to me, and I’ve therefore had a small bet at 16’s for the Stayers, as it’s the only other possible race for him in Cheltenham.
I would think the Stayers would be fav if he gets his ass handed to him on a plate today considering the price of Teahupoo who surely he could reverse places with.
Depending on how easily he is beaten, if he's beaten he could be dropped 2 lbs which would bring in another option puting him on the same mark as Arctic Fire was on when he won the County.
