News
It is with sadness The Punter records the death of a little Legend of these pages Langer Dan who was a fixture of the Cod Squad, Dan Skelton said: "He was quite a remarkable little horse. He was always one of those horses who everyone loved, and we felt the same way. He was his own character. He captured the imagination of everyone because he was a competitor."
Langer Dan made 27 appearances for Skelton, and as well as two victories at the Cheltenham Festival, he won a Grade 3 at Aintree in 2022, the Grade 3 Paddy Power Imperial Cup in March 2021, and finished second behind subsequent Gold Cup winner Galopin Des Champs at Cheltenham the following week.
Also sadly Kalif Du Berlais was fatally injured at Kempton on Saturday, Paul Nichols said "He was a beautiful horse who had already brought so much joy to his owners and our team, crowned by a brilliant victory at Aintree last year. He showed such immense talent and promise, with a bright future ahead of him and we were lucky to train him in Ditcheat.
Lossiemouth has drifted for the Champion Hurdle, with support coming for Sir Gino as the market increasingly suggests the seven-year-old will instead defend her Mares’ Hurdle title.
Having been 9-2 with Paddy Power on Wednesday, the Willie Mullins-trained mare was eased to 6-1 for the Champion Hurdle on Thursday, a move which coincided with Sir Gino being cut to 5-4 (from 6-4) at the head of the market. Paddy Power cited Sir Gino's emphatic success in the Christmas Hurdle on Boxing Day as the key factor behind the move.
In contrast, Lossiemouth’s price for the Mares’ Hurdle has shortened and she is now 2-1 second favourite, having been 5-2, behind the Gordon Elliott-trained Wodhooh at 15-8. Both Unibet and William Hill make the pair 7-4 joint-favourites.
