Whatever people made of Mullins targeting of Quevega the above makes it all the more remarkable how he was able to get her back to the festival to win year after year

Still the best value out there.......
He’s been targeted at Royal Ascot once or twice in his career already and has missed it so that’s a worry.

He won without a prep at all last year too so even if he does not make it to the track, I have faith in Mullins he can get the job done.
My only worry is Faugheen, and I'll just take it on the chin if Faugheen is there on the day....I'll cheer him on and if I've got it wrong so be it!

Based on that Punchestown run, he’s a massive massive player over 3m hurdles next season if he keeps the injuries away.
Is there a racing fan on the planet that wouldn’t secretly love him to win if he led jumping the last next year up the famous hill.

Originally posted by ComplyOrDie View PostAs I done last season with other races, this one will be split between Penhill & Faugheen in a lot of bets, if either one, or better still, both turn up for it I don't see them being beat.
I get the feeling he's one poor run/minor injury away from retirement, owes connections nothing and will be looked after....

As you said he doesn't owe connections anything, and from a punting perspective he owes me nothing either, he was the single biggest horse I'd ever backed along with Vautour in 2014 including in a lot of multi's and from that day onwards both them horses had my head and heart! I'm just sooo gutted Vautour never got his Gold Cup chance, but back to the stayers' and Faugheen wiped the floor with Penhill and the rest at Punchestown, he'd do the same to them at Cheltenham too if turning up 90-100% IMO.

Last season a win for either of Our Duke, Cause of Causes or Finian's Oscar would all have been +500 pts and in some cases much more.... (although that would have included some multiples I had from October < too) but no way I'd consider changing after that.
