Champion Hurdle

Afsoun 60.0
Gaspara 200.0

I've not backed these yet but they are available on Betfair at the prices shown above. I was wondering if anyone could offer any thoughts before I dive in (with my few pence !)

Afsoun was 3rd last year when all the stats will tell you that it was too young. It really seemed to take to Cheltenham and with another years maturity, the price looks too big in my opninion.

Gaspara is much more speculative but if it lines up, then the price is massive. It's a big improver and really impressed at Cheltenham last year. It strikes me as having the potential to be like Essex was a couple of years back where it improved so much that it has hammered down to about 8/1 leading upto the Festival. As with Afsoun, these are both speculative punts so far away from March but there could be plenty of opportunity to trade before then.
