Thanks.

Pleased to see an entry. Some nice horses at the 5 day stages all over.

Any thoughts on the Royal Bond Archie? Between Quick Grabim and Aramon?

Royal bond.

And Thurles Thursday?

Annamix taken out of the Royal Bond.

Willie has 8 of the 15 left in. Past experience would say 4 or 5 will run. I think that Aramon would have a sporting chance of upholding the form with Quick Grabim but they don't race them at home so whether they run and jockey choice will be down to how they're working. This isn't infallible as Airlie Beach showed when she won this race. Ruby went for Penhill and Paul T was told to ride Saturnas.

Brace Yourself could be decent as well. Not sure about 2m?? thought he was more of a Ballymore Horse. We shall see on Sunday.

Yeah not just between the Mullins runners. You're a fan of both Meade's aren't you. Expecting a big run from Brace Yourself?

I do like him a lot although I had him down as a Ballymore horse. Its just the trainer I'm not so keen on. Meade has another called Dream Conti that could be very good.

I was at Down Royal for Brace Yourself's win- i was massively taken by him. Defi Bleu for me was the horse to take from it.

However, he was a decent bumper horse + as you doc, he could be better upped in trip.

Why are you not a fan of Meade ? Flying so far this year.

Mixture of things really. He blows hot & cold. He sure is hot at the moment, except when I back them He's not a trainer I have much luck with. Remember Ned buntline in the Grand Annual ridden for a glory ride from Carberry failed to get up by a head.

16 years since we last had a winner from the race... 24 renewals, 3 winners and 2 of them went on to be Champion Hurdlers...

3 winners
5 places (One 2nd and Four 3rd)
8 didn't go on to run

Last 10 years though (which in my opinion would be much more relevant)

0 winner
4x 3rd places
2 didn't run
