CS entered again at Naas.

He’ll have a chance of getting his ground at Naas. Good to yielding on the hurdle course now with rain forecast for Thursday, Friday & Saturday.

Why hes not entered for Thurs is beyond me!

Said the same previously in the thread Jack. Guessing the tightish track around Gowran wasn’t seen as suitable as he’s clearly desperate to get a run in.

What on earth makes you think this bit Scooby? As things stand I’d see no reason to think he’s any better chance in the AB than the Ballymore. I reckon it’s very dangerous to take that Champ formline too seriously. Brewin’ has a lot more to offer on that imo.

The Ballymore has been the plan all season. He won't be heading down the AB route.

[Grinch]

Yeah - I read your stats. I tend to go more on my own visual impression but I take your point regarding his inexperience. I have taken some 25's each way because I think that's a stupid price when you look at what might actually turn up here and their relative experience.

is that nrnb ? it would be unusual for Henderson to run such a nice prospect in the 3m without testing the waters in grade company and they are running out of time to do this .. it is an unusual year as evidenced by the campaigning of Angels breath and oN the blind side. he was due to run at the previous Chepstow meeting , think missing that and then getting beaten ,, albeit showing great promise might leave Cheltenham as unlikely

We will see. I think he will.

[doctorwu]

We will see. I think he will.

I'll ask him tomorrow and find out if his plans have changed.

[Rhinestone_Cowboy]

Also have to bear in mind OM has confirmed Itchy Feet and Thomas Darby for the Supreme. The latter in particular could step up for the Ballymore if they were seriously considering stepping up Brewin’upastorm. Could be some late movements but see it as pretty unlikely

Prob best of asking after sat, if he goes for the ballymore trial and I'd be assuming he'll be beat again in that.

If he's well held again on Sat and finishes his race well enough. What's the point running him in the ballymore?

[SeanRock]

The wait to see Carefully Selected over sticks goes on.

Could be melon (chelt) / could be moon racer. (Punchestown bumper)

He's an 7yr old I can't imagine they will hold him back for the bumper again.

We surely can’t fancy a horse going into the Albert Bartlett off one run, or even worse a debut. Doubt he runs.
