Emmett Kennedy reported at Cork that Ricci told him AP won't run here.

Mick Fitzgerald is very sweet on Glenn's Melody.

I backed Glens Melody weeks ago ew but I still think she's the bet of the race. At 9/2 she has to be the closest thing to a bet to nothing as you'll see at the fez, in better form this year than last, where she gave Que Vega a scare, and would have been right on the hocks of Kitten Rock last time barring a mistake at the last, the smart Mullins double on the first day could be ew on this girl and Hurricane Fly at 8's

Couldn't agree more Mr Mc. 9/2 will be a dream price if they switch Annie to the WH.

Glens Melody as short as 5/2 with the Tote and betfred atm..and thats without NRNB

Looks like a decision has been made then, I'm glad I backed GM weeks ago now, didn't think she was without a chance even with AP running, must be a good bet if AP goes World hurdle

Think this is all coming from the podcast interview with Ricci. Very good listen BUT he only said the WH was tempting and a consideration if she sparkled in work. Still being trained for the mares race.

Heres hoping the decision's been made,I think we're both sitting pretty if it has. Agree about GMs chance..Reckon she'd have won last year if the jocks timing was better.

Strange that the mares hurdle would be on the cards if she didn't sparkle, you'd think a non-sparkling Annie Power is an unfit Annie Power so shouldn't be going to the fez at all, I don't think it will be the walkover many consider, Glens Melody is a good horse

I think going into the WH after an injury and being off for so long is a huge risk. A pre fracture or whatever her injury was has to be a concern.

But surely if it's a concern she shouldn't be going at all, imagine the backlash if something happens to her after making it clear there's a problem

[Faugheen_Machine]

I'd be surprised if they switched. AP is currently trading at 11/1 for the WH so a decision hasn't been made yet. I think this is all on the back of Ricci's and it doesn't take much for things to snowball on the exchanges.
