    Would be simular scenes to that of vautour after winning the Ryanair. Was a Strange atmosphere. Imagine people who laid off at huge prices to get a few quid back wouldn't be too pleased.

      You're kidding!?! The scenes if he lines up!
      I heard the Ricci quotes at the weekend but dismissed the fact Cheltenham could come into play.
      The entries for this race (and the Gold Cup and Ryanair) are due on Tuesday...guess we shall be seeing an entry for him then

      • Mullins, in his Saturday column for the Racing Post, said: “We’ve been pleasantly surprised by how well things are going with him. It’s a long shot at this stage and getting him back on the track this season might not be a runner, but we are cautiously optimistic now compared with his situation a month ago.”
        No actual quotes saying he could be back for this race. With the and Ricci's comments it sounds like he will get an entry but could also just be making a headline out of nothing?

            This is what I read.

            • If he's back ... for the festival ... I'd guess Ryanair!

              First run back after last season's CC to be in the CC?


              None story.

              • I listened to exactly nothing that comes from that yard until I see the confirmed decs.
                Ricci loves nothing more than having a microphone shoved under his sunglasses and not everything that's said can be believed....

                • Faugheen's owner Rich Ricci also has another star, Douvan, on the sidelines at present and Mullins has an open mind as to whether the pair will line up at the Cheltenham Festival in March.

                  He added: "It is day by day with himself (Faugheen) and Douvan and while Cheltenham is obviously the target if he keeps going, I'm not making any real plans or targets."

                  • Great field is back in pre training and due back in Willies next week. Aim is to get him back for Leopardstown in Feb

                    • 365 can't be expecting Douvan to run.....

                      5/1 NRNB CC?

                          Douvan?

                          First run back after a year and you step him up in trip?

                            I'd consider it an option ... if 1. it is an easier race.

                            2. If Yorkhill looks fantastic over 2m at Leopardstown....

                            3. They've got to find a future Gold Cup horse again too. Ryanair this year might not be out of the equation?

                            CC is most likely, if he gets there... but I wouldn't be surprised if he attempted the Ryanair.

                                Just the NRNB price isn't it?
