Arctic Fire is entered up in the same race as Cilaos Emery

Very left field.
Would be in the mix on the pick of his form over hurdles in any race... but whether we ever see the pick of his form again will be questionable.

I'd definitely take a flyer though if declared (at the right price of course)
 
He’s not entered in the stayers so maybe they are looking for a switch to bring a spark back.
 
This is the latest going report from last Thursday...

GOING:
Yielding, Yielding to Soft in places on all tracks. Showers today and up to 10mm of rain tomorrow. Unsettled thereafter.

There was rain over the weekend and more forecast for this afternoon. I’d be hopeful we’ll see Cilaos Emery on Thursday.

I just got an email back from Gowran in last 2mins as i emailed to check this morning (couldnt find latest on their twitter or website).

Yielding/Yielding to Soft in places. Based on our current weather forecast we do not expect any great change.
 
Guys - a question with my tongue firmly in my cheek here.

But what happens if Cilaos Emery emerges and he isn't very good?

Same with Annamix we shake our fists at the antepost Gods and get on with finding the next one 😁

Like all antepost bets there's a risk involved. CE was a pretty good hurdler, so we know he has the engine as long as his setback hasn't seen him lose ability (not sure what setback was)....only issue here is if he can't jump IMO.

Agree with this. Nothing we can do, it's on his ability to jump a fence, nothing more for me. He's by far the best hurdles form should he make it to the race, so his ability to race is not under question for me.

I'd expect him to run on Yielding - Yielding/Soft too TBH.

The ground was described as yielding, yielding to soft in places*on Monday morning and, with at least 8mm of rain set to hit the track by last night, track manager Eddie Scally said the ground could be soft by Thursday

Scally said: "It is chucking it down here at the moment and*we're due another*8mm by tonight. There's no drying out either so I would say the ground will be almost soft by Thursday. It'll be certainly more soft than yielding on the day."

Cheers Scooby- ground positive for CE.....not only that, i better change my Thyeste's thoughts- thought going was going to be better than that.

What odds are we expecting CE be on Thursday ?

With 26 entries, god knows. Purely depending on who turns up.

They do have DDG + Real Steel in there too, with a previous run, i would say they'll be first to run. Hopefully CE is working the house down + Mullins can't help but run him...can't see it though.

After 8mm of rain ☔️ our going is Soft - yielding in places on both courses. Forecast mainly dry from today. First race is 12:45 Thursday.
 
Can’t wait to see CE have a nice double with angels breath could be a great Tuesday
