            Expecting him to run in the 2m6 race at Leopardstown?

              I'm not sure.
              I actually cashed out. I want to see the weights and entries. And I don't think hes one that's going to catch the imagination and shorten right up.

                Black Op given 150, fair old hike that. Ballymore or Bartlett it is

                  Fair enough.

                  One of only 2 races (Brown Plate the other) that I am yet to have a bet in!

                  Mullins has 3 winners from the brief history in this race, anyone got an idea who he'll be lining up?

                  A race to look at potential jockey bookings in? J.Bowen? M.Bastyn? B.Frost?

                    Do we think Momella will end up here or the Coral Cup?

                    I was optimistic that Skelton might give a steer in the Racing Post but he seemed happier to list the more 'obvious' horses. Perhaps that was an indirect plus?

                    Presumably, she is currently waiting for better ground?

                      Rated 142 now... cracking Cheltenham form .... might depend on whether Harry Skelton wants/will get the ride?

                      16/1 NRNB for both... certainly gone straight to the top of my shortlist

                          I got Hills to add Diese Des Bieffes to their market for this and have duly added him to my book at 20/1. Off a lovely mark of 137 and with Mitch Bastyan on top this is the obvious race for him to take in at the festival and his form is pretty rock solid

                            After her win before Xmas, Skelton said the target was the Mares race at Fairyhouse, so it was likely they’d miss Cheltenham all together - not seen anything since to say there,s any change to that plan.

                            “Momella paid a handsome compliment to On The Blind Side when winning a mares’ handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last Saturday against more experienced rivals.

                            She is likely to be entered in both the Mares race and the Festival’s two-mile novice event for mares, the Trull House Stud Dawn Run. However, trainer Dan Skelton favours bypassing both contests in favour of a 2m4f Fairyhouse Grade One later that same month.”

                              Thanks.

                              I haven't, but if you have taken the 25/1 then if we take that plan at face value it seems you haven't lost your money.

                              That said it does sound like a massively optimistic plan given that she will have been off the track for four months and will probably need to find 10-14lbs. If they think she is a genuine Grade 1 horse then why not try and exploit the handicap mark first? There are plenty of winnable mares races out there.

                                I agree. I am quite surprised by the comments. As a bit of a target trainer, or a chap who certainly knows how to "lay one out" for the festival, the fact he hasn't mentioned it would be a negative. He doesn't usually hide anything, if he thinks one is well handicapped he'll say?
