[FONT=&quot]Very pleased to report that Soul Emotion is absolutely fine this morning. We were very worried at the time but he is perfectly sound and happy and he’ll be back at Seven Barrows tomorrow. Amazingly they think he suffered a bout of heat stroke! (on a cold December afternoon!)

You've asked In the right thread. The other poster asked In the wrong one.

Fwiw his forms nothing special. But to be fair neither is the division. So I couldn't rule him out 100%. But he wouldn't be a world beater.

It was me that asked in the Triumph thread , about sir erec ,., and mentioned the other horse,Darasso. I didn't realise that
their already out and racing - darasso anyway. Hope that clears that one up.
 
Anybody reckon Gordon Elliott is bringing Farclas smoothly along for a tilt at the Stayers.
In a Division bereft of any talent 25/1 might be a decent bet come March.
 
Did anyone here if Harry Fry made any comments about ITCFs and possibly stepping him up in trip. Cheers

He could be, but I'd be inclined to think the step up to 3m as a 5yo would be too much too soon. They've not got, much previous in trying that and I've not heard it to be a plan.

NRNB perhaps, but I wouldn't risk it myself.
 
Cracking Smart is declared for the 3m grade 1 at Leopardstown tomorrow. Davy Russell takes the ride.

I'm hoping PP are brave enough to make it an extra place race. Should do with Apple's jade making the market.
 
I'll deffinately back him at the prices tomorrow regardless. There's nothing In the race that worrys me at all bar AJ. I think he's top class personally.

So do I. Had a chunky bet on him at 33s for the Stayers. I just think tomorrow is a pipe opener and the price suggests that. If he comes for real support in the morning I may rethink.

For me Faugheen has all his ducks in a row for tomorrow

He’s my biggest bet antepost any race at 14s.

Also got stuck into the 33s for the Stayers
 
I've backed Cracking Smart (3 places) at 11/1 with 365 today.

Probably needs the run but that's just too big, agree with the previous posters.
 
Don't think that told us anything at all about Cracking Smart... apart from Gordon has left a lot to work on
