Champion Hurdle preview 2019 festival Andrew Nelis

Beveur Dair current champion Dual winner heads to the festival , knowing now two of Ireland’s finest mares in Laurina and Apples have their sights set firmly on the current champion come March .
Bevuir dair is rightly a true champion , having won the last 2 renewals , but the manner of which Apples jade destroying her rivals in the Irish champion Hurdle at the weekend at leopardstown , has now left a real tasty match for all racing fans come day one of the festival .
Initially after the win , in the Irish champion Hurdle , Elliot tweeted that she is going mares .But next day , Gordon Elliot Apples jades trainer , who had a talk with owner michael O Leary , said it would be mad not to give her her chance. Now in the champion on the Tuesday . It’s like this IMO melon who she taken apart with such ease , given melon is a 170 rated horse , and came within a a whisker of the current champion last year , suggests very clear , that Apples jade rated 174 , with a mares allowance of 7lb , this would have her off a mark of 182 , bevuir currently standing at. 180 RPR . Not getting carried away but a 7yr old Apples jade still improving and surely the best to come , would she take BD ... she will go very close that’s all I am going to say , then throw in Willie Mullins other super mare. Laurina ... another progressive and handy sort , who will also be in the mix , followed by my dark horse. Sharjah which I recommend backing EW at current odds of 8/1 . What a champion we have in store in day one of the festival. Andrew Nelis Racing News .

1 AMHRAN NA BHFIANN Sire : Galileo. Trainer : Aidan O’Brien. Official rating : --. Odds : 50-1 Who will add their name to the Derby roll of honour? Positives : His sister, Was, won the Oaks on her third start in 2012, while his brother, Douglas Macarthur, finished seventh in the 2017 Derby after being deployed as a pacemaker. He himself offered something to work on when fourth in a Leopardstown maiden last time, when finishing behind three stablemates who subsequently all made their presence felt in the Irish Derby. His best days are ahead of him. Negatives : Has mountain to climb on form and even his master trainer has not pulled off the trick of winning the Derby with a twice-raced maiden. Indeed, the last maiden to win the race was in 1887. Verdict : Folly to underestimate anything his trainer runs but easy enough to looks elsewhere. 2 EMISSARY Sire : Kingman. Trainer : Hugo Palmer. Official rating : 98. Odds : 33-1 Hugo Palmer revealed mor
