Ladbrokes slash Poquelin for Ryanair Chase after Tranquil Sea withdrawal
Alarazi won the Imperial Cup at Sandown on Saturday afternoon and the bookmakers have reacted by making the horse the 6/1 favourite to win the County Hurdle.
The Lucy Wadham horse is also the same price for the Martin Pipe, with David Williams of
Ladbrokes telling Bettingpro: "If Alarazi gets into the County Hurdle he'd probably turn up with a favourite's chance."
Meanwhile, Poquelin is now the 2/1 favourite to win the Ryanair Chase after Tranquil Sea was ruled out and Lowther is 14/1 for the Lincoln after winning his trial at Wolverhampton.
