    Another interesting bumper horse for Robcour in the last at Cork tomorrow, Largy Fix beat the Bosses Oscar in a PTP but hasn’t been seen in 2 years

    edit: would be 7 next year so against a lot of trends

      Keen to add Dark Raven for the Supreme and Ballymore before he runs today - he was impressive at Leopardstown and that final furlong really caught my attention the way he hits the line. Sold privately to Munir / Suede this week too.

      I think it would take a really really good horse to beat him today.

        Only priced up for the bumper at the moment I believe.

          I've backed him for today a couple of days ago. I think he will prove to be a 2m4f or further horse, but I can't see him priced up for the Ballymore anywhere.

            Added Balco Coastal for the Ballymore before his possible run at Aintree this week and Gentlemansgame run today. Balco Coastal’s RPR on his sole bumper start was 130, 6 behind Sir Gerard’s 136. With De Boinville saying after his bumper win he’s sure to stay 2 and a half miles I’ve gone for the Ballymore and Hills’s standout price of 50-1 (56 with boost) as opposed to the 20’s with PP.

              Showed quite a bit more pace than I expected, looking at his pedigree and is one on my watch list for next year over 2m4 or further.
              More than satisfied with that and he will have learned an awful lot for it. Looked a bit outpaced at one point (or maybe just too relaxed), but once the gap opened he went through it straight away and looked better the further they went. Will be interesting to see if he can jump as he looks like he's got an engine.

              For Cheltenham, I still think he will need further than the Supreme and its difficult for 5 year olds to win the Ballymore and Albert Bartlett but he's right up there in the best bumper runners this year.

                Glens of Atrim remains a novice after only placing yesterday.

                Would follow down the Concertista/Let’s Dance/Hook Up route that Willie has utilised as a second season novice

                  She certainly didnt look a mid-trip mare yesterday too, she went well until two out.

                    It would have to be a weak division for her to win it next year. She’s been well beat a few times now.

                      Agree. She will surely find 2/3 too good again when it really matters.

                        Mulling over Dark Raven for the Ballymore at 25/1, at least going on my watchlist for the time being.

                              Bartlett horse imo Lobos! Especially, as I reckon Robcour have at least 2 more suitable options for the Ballymore! Gerri Colombe and Grand Jury!

                                With the new weight for age allowance I'd be very interested in any Juvenile mares Willie buys for the supreme, especially if they have good flat or French hurdling experience and ratings to go with it.
