Champion Court will go off 5/1 fav I think.

Anyone wanting to back it should take the 9s now, Court In Motion and Back In Focus but need soft ground I reckon Kilcrea Kim is the main threat.

Also Tranquil Sea is out of the Ryanair.

Disappointing, always is when a class horse doesn't make it.

Got a bad feeling when AP played down his chances midweek.

My mate at Ladbrokes told me to get on Peddlars Cross when it was 16/1, I'd never heard of it

Nice little trade now

Alan King's Salden Licht also out of the Champion Hurdle leaving a field of 11.

The Fly is 4/1! thought it would be 11/4 or 3/1 after that.
