    Interesting Rich and Willie talking about chasing next season. would be very unusual for a 11yr old but he is lightly raced
    If they are doing it the novice campaign won’t last too long.

    Going for the Dawn Run double?

      I was staggered to hear Ricci mention the JLT for Faugheen if going novice chasing?!

      What on EARTH would be the point of going chasing with the aim of winning a JLT at his age.... when he's just won a stayers hurdle at Punchestwown

      I don't think he'll be seen over a fence NUT it sas to be Gold Cup as a novice (via the King George like Thistlecrack tried) doesn't it!

      • Personally it was a great week with 2 winners and a fourth although Cadmium and Kemboy have been handed a good few extra pounds by the handicapper for their pains. I managed to get over for the Thursday and ticking the Punchestown winner box capped off a day to savour with the performances of Faugheen and Footpad. Interesting to note that, carrying 17lb less, Cadmium covered the course 3.4 seconds quicker than Footpad. Obviously, it doesn't put him up there with Footpad but it does indicate a quality performance as does the 13lb hike. Kemboy goes up 9lb to 156.

        • A festival to remember for your syndicate alright Archie, congrats I’m sure plenty of celebratory pints of Guinness were had!

            Cadmium gets a helluva mention from Pricewise for the reasons you've mentioned.

            One to be very excited about archie!

            Kemboy hopefully can progress too and be a real player in some graded races.

            Looking forward to watching these for you
