Constitution Hill tonight lads, talk to me 🫡

SHOCK AIDAN UPDATE ON ALBERT EINSTEIN “It might be more important to get a run into him as it’s such a long time since he ran. I'm weighing up whether a race is the best prep, since he hasn’t run since winning the Group 3 Marble Hill at the Curragh last May — he picked up a small fracture there and missed the rest of his 2yo season. We’ll get close to the race and see but it’s not beyond the bounds of possibility that he could run. We’ll have to see how they are and how the race shapes up closer to the time, but it is a possibility. He also could go to Leopardstown for a race too if he does not go on Saturday. There is an option to give him a racecourse gallop at the weekend at the Curragh. We're very happy with him”

🚨 Albert Einstein has been backed into favouritism for the Betfred 2,000 Guineas after Aidan O'Brien declared the twice-raced colt his number one hope for the Newmarket Classic

15:20) Stayers Hurdle. Grade1 hurdle over 3m. What an absolutely brilliant race this is. Could even turn out to be the best race of the whole week. All the top staying hurdlers going at each other and it should be one for the ages: Bob Olinger won this last year and he is 4-4 at Cheltenham. Unbelievable record. Was given a far better ride last year under Rachel Blackmore than his stablemate Teahupoo and got the job done. This has been his main target ever since and I wouldn’t put anyone off backing him and 13/2 is a great price Ma Shantou is improving all the time and he’s on a C&D 4timer. Brilliant. Has he beaten anyone of the level of the market leaders in this field though? I don’t think so… but today could be his day and he has a great chance to establish himself as this top level horses, but not for me Kabral Du Mathan is another horse on the up and looks like a proper stayer and this 3m trip could really bring it out of him. He thumped Jingko Blue (who romped home here yesterday) here in January and as he was doing his best work at the end there’s no reason to believe he won’t be able to stay and improve again these top horses. I wouldn’t put anyone off backing him but not for me at 4/1 Ballyburn is some horse. Proper engine on him. His head carriage is so low though (looks like he’s eating the grass sometimes) and that always does worry me. I’m still a big fan though and I wouldn’t put anyone off backing him today at 7/1 each way at all. However - he has lost to Teahupoo the last two runs and I think that’ll happen again The rest of the field are brilliant horses but not to the level of the ones mentioned above IMO and it’ll be between them I’m almost certain. But it’s all about Teahupoo for me. Was a horse he is. Since going up in trip in December 22 his form is unreal: 112411122111 and three of those losses were when Jack wasn’t on board. One of those wins was in this race and one of those seconds was in this race (last year). This has been his main goal all season and surely he gets redemption today from last year’s second. He looks to be in tip top form and Jack will be making sure he is given the best ride possible after being done by Rachael last year on Bob. I think he wins it well and I am absolutely shocked to see 4/1. I was happy at 6/4 antepost so this to me just screams serious value. Everyone saying he won’t like the better ground but I just don’t think that is the case, at all. He’s won on good ground a few times and even if he might prefer it soft, top horses like this will get the job done any ground. I think he wins and the higher than expected price gives me a nice chance to put him in each way multis with the shorties today. Anyone with me on him? Anyone really strong on taking him on?
