Mares Champion Hurdle Tips & Betting Preview

Forge Meadow looks the likely pace angle here, her form has improved since she has adopted front-running tactics, but she looks vulnerable to a stronger stayer in this company. APPLE’S JADE was a length and a half behind Benie Des Dieux at Cheltenham last month, but she is backed to reverse the placings today and win back to back renewals of this Grade 1 race. Gordon Elliott was concerned prior to Cheltenham that she may not have been as race-fit as he would have wanted so with that run now under her belt she can be expected to find the improvement needed to win for the eighth time at the top level.
