Where is your money for the Champion Hurdle right now? Old guard or new guard? Sublimity again, or Harchibald/Straw Bear/Afsoun or Sizing Europe/Osana/Aitmatov? Noel Meade is having a shocker currently, but earlier in the season Aitmatov looked a good prospect.
For me, if Sublimity is on blob and the ground isn't too heavy, he will take the beating again. Pity there is no Brave Inca, he is a grand horse and this would perhaps his final season in the 'peak' category.

New i would lay the old gaurd for all i could
Its a two Horse race Sublimity took the piss big time last season in the Champion and Seizing Europe beat the best of the Irish though Hardy Eustace will be better on better ground @ Cheltenham
The Pipe horse i would lay all day
It will just try to make all and set the race up for the other two before running waydown the field
Im on both already Anti post but i didn't go big on Siezing because it hadn't done it in grade 1 at the time but when it beat Osana @ Cheltenham IMHO it marked it down as a better horse than the winner of last seasons County Hurdle
And at its price for the Champion was worth a small bet you will get a better price on this horse on the day IMHO as the market will be stronger and people have there favs and will be backing the old gaurd out of loyalty which will keep his price up plus there is always the gamble on the day like Sublimity was last year ?
