Irish Raiders Maintain their Grip on Coral Champion Hurdle Betting

Irish-trained horses dominate Coral's Champion Hurdle betting following today's entry stage, with six of the top seven in the betting stabled across the Irish Sea. Harchibald is the 3-1 market leader, ahead of Back In Front at 6-1 (from 13-2). Accordion Etoile is 8-1, the same price as Rooster Booster, the principle English challenger."We cannnot recall such dominance of a Championship race by Irish runners, and it's long odds-on that this year's Champion Hurdle will signal an early start to St Patrick's day celebrations," said Coral's David Stevens.In the World Hurdle, Baracouda is 7-4 favourite to win the race for a second time, with Crystal D'Ainay next at 11-2.At Doncaster today, Reveillez earnt a 16-1 quote for the Royal & SunAlliance Hurdle after a two length success.**Champion Hurdle3-1 Harchibald, 6-1 Back In Front, 8-1 Rooster Booster, Accordion Etoile,9-1 Hardy Eustace, Macs Joy, 10-1 Brave Inca, 16-1 Inglis Drever, 20-1 Intersky Falcon, Solerina, Royal Shakespeare, 25-1 Essex, Westender, 33-1 Foreman, Marcel, Self Defense, Tamarinbleu, 40-1 Big Moment, Rigmarole, Perouse, Sign Of The Wolf, 50-1 Al Eile, Cerium, Compton Bolter, Landing Light, 66-1 Ansar, Copeland, Georges Girl, Ilnamar, Power Elite, The French Furze, 500-1 Astonville, Present Bleu, Solarius, Turnius**World Hurdle7-4 Baracouda, 11-2 Crystal D'Ainay, 6-1 Rule Supreme, 9-1 Royal Rosa, 14-1 Monkerhostin, Inglis Drever, 16-1 Monet's Garden, Sh Boom, Westender, 20-1 Emotional Moment, Gold Medallist, It Takes Time, 25-1 Lord Sam, 33-1 Dancing Bay, Telemoss, Therealbandit, 40-1 Ilnamar, Korelo, Lough Derg, Pole Star, Rosaker, Specular, 50-1 Corrib Eclipse, Exotic Dancer, Gallery God, Knife Edge, Romany Prince, 66-1 Copeland, Mr Ed, The French Furze,80-1 Yogi, 100-1 Marble Arch, Quick, 200-1 It's Wallace, 500-1 Brigadier Brown**Royal & SunAlliance Hurdle11-2 Gold Medallist, 12-1 It's Just Harry, 14-1 Brewster, Royal Paradise,16-1 Reveillez, Mount Clerigo, Chilling Place, Secret Ploy, Ladalko, No Refuge, 20-1 Pole Star, Bewleys Berry, Racing Demon, Villon, 25-1 Forty Licks, Lord Henry, Overbury Affair, Spirit Of New YorkOTHER ANTE POST RACES**Victor Chandler Chase7-2 Well Chief, 4-1 Great Travel, 11-2 Fundamentalist, 7-1 Non So, 8-1 Oneway, Thisthatandtother, Contraband, Armaturk, 12-1 Seebald, 14-1 Kadarann, Ground Ball, 16-1 Cenkos, 20-1 Flagship Uberalles, Golden Alpha,25-1 Upgrade, Bleu Superbe, Kelrev, 33-1 Turgeonev, 40-1 Kalca Mome, 100-1 Transit **Gold Cup3-1 Best Mate, 5-1 Beef Or Salmon, 7-1 Kingscliff, 10-1 Strong Flow, 12-1 Kicking King, 14-1 Celestial Gold, 16-1 One Knight, Rule Supreme, 20-1 Grey Abbey, Therealbandit, 25-1 Fundamentalist, Iris's Gift, Royal Auclair, Sir Rembrandt, 33-1 Lord Sam, Murphy's Cardinal, Ollie Magern, Our Vic, Pizarro, Truckers Tavern, 40-1 Bar**Champion Chase6-4 Azertyuiop, 7-4 Moscow Flyer, 9-2 Well Chief, 20-1 Fundamentalist, 25-1 Armaturk, Thisthatandtother, 33-1 Central House, Great Travel, Mister McGoldrick, Oneway, Rathgar Beau, 40-1 Flagship Uberalles, Cenkos, Kadarann, Non So, 50-1 Venn Ottery, 66-1 Native Upmanship, 100-1 Golden Row, Master Rex**Supreme Novices' Hurdle7-1 Marcel, 12-1 Astronomic, 14-1 Coat Of Honour, Refinement, 16-1 Total Enjoyment, Olaso, Manners, Rocket Ship, Royal Paradise, Only Vintage, 20-1 Wild Passion, Chilling Place, Feathard Lady, 25-1 Cherub, Dusky Warbler, Justified, Augerskea, Geill Sli, 33-1 Manorson, Master Albert, Secret Ploy, Justified, **Arkle4-1 Kauto Star, 6-1 Fundamentalist, 12-1 Cloone River, 14-1 Mariah Rollins, Contraband, Royal Alphabet, River City, 16-1 Sir OJ, Foreman, Marcel, War Of Attrition, 20-1 Ned Kelly, Watson Lake, Ashley Brook, The Last Cast,25-1 Locksmith, Le Seychellois, Made In Japan, 33-1 Chauvinist,**Royal & SunAlliance Chase4-1 Ollie Magern, 7-1 Trabolgan, 12-1 Baron Windrush, 14-1 Vodka Bleu, 16-1 Comply Or Die, Garde Champetre, Newmill, 20-1 L'Ami, Cornish Rebel, Control Man, Mariah Rollins, 25-1 Jazz D'Estruval, Watson Lake, Your A Gassman,33-1 Mark The Man, Eric's Charm, Campaign Trail, Distant Thunder **Triumph Hurdle12-1 Arch Rebel, 14-1 Yankeedoodledandy, 20-1 Salut Saint Cloud, Cerium, Danaw, Penzance, 25-1 Strangely Brown, Papini, Phar Bleu, Carte Diamond,33-1 Diego Cao, Biscar Two, Two Miles West, Massif Centrale, New Entic, Zalda, 50-1 Fire Dragon**Grand National14-1 Silver Birch, 16-1 Clan Royal, Celestial Gold, Grey Abbey, 20-1 Chives, Frenchman's Creek, Amberleigh House, Colonel Frank, 25-1 Bindaree, Forest Gunner, Fork Lightning, Granit D'Estruval, Joly Bey, Jurancon II, Lord Atterbury, Puntal, Simply Supreme, 33-1 Ad Hoc, Bear On Board, Davids Lad, Desailly, Just In Debt, Harbour Pilot, Hedgehunter, Historic, Montys Pass, Strong Resolve, Timbera
