Despite tough conditions, the Andy Stewart-owned hurdler destroyed the opposition in the three-mile contest, causing bookmakers William Hill to slash his odds for the World Hurdle to 4/7 (1.57) from even money. Pretender to the crown Diamond Harry could only finish third in the race and was eased to 7/1 whilst Karabak's solid second-place saw the bookies trim his odds to 7-1. Nick Williams - trainer of Diamond Harry - has now highlighted a possible tilt at the RSA Chase for his charge, for which William Hill have re-quoted the gelding at odds of 12/1. Kate Miller, spokeswoman for William Hill, said: "Big Bucks now appears absolutely bombproof for the Festival after today's performance and is a certainty to appear on every punters 'banker' list for March." In other ante-post news, Solwhit now matches Zaynar as joint 9/2 (5.5) favourite for the Champion Hurdle after taking the Leopardstown December Hurdle whilst What A Friend's victory in the Lexus Chase saw his odds for the Gold Cup tumble to 20/1. |
