Captain Conan could be a good shout for this if Martin goes down the Ryanair route with Benifficient

Love Barry G on two miler chasers but not mad about Captain Conan. He didnt do much wrong last year and they claim to have found something wrong after the tingle creek - potassium levels but just doesnt strike me as a real top two miler. There are holes in most of them to be fair ...so fook knows.

One stat against Sire De Grugy

None of the last 17 winners of the race had competed more than four times since the previous spring.

The race will be Gary Moore's favourite's sixth race of the campaign.

From Adare both made me

Nicky Henderson relaying the various tinkering that's gone on with captain conan re: QM. Seems hopeful

Andy Mac says Jamie Moore told him Sire De Grugy 'fackin ates' Cheltenham. #dunravencheltpreview #gold

 

[Morning Glory]

Strange ideas about the going

Baily Green could come into the equation big time for this if Benifficent goes for the Ryanair. The Ryanair is actually looking stronger than this race now with Al Ferof, Dynaste, Benifficent and perhaps First Lieutenant all going there. Mouse will have Baily Green in great shape for it and I'd love to see him win this.

He shortened up today ...I think Martin might be bluffing on Bennefficient though. Cooper only available Tuesday and this is what he said straight after last win.

After race at Leopardstown Fri, 27th Dec, 2013 (1st) He goes really well for Bryan, he suits the horse so well and you could see half way down the back straight that he was going well. It was a great performance and he jumped absolutely super. I should never have run him at Wetherby, it was a cock-up on my behalf. He worked twelve days before that at Tipperary with Flemenstar, he did far too much there and left his race behind him. He is a much better horse going left-handed. The Topham was in my mind beforehand but he will probably be too high in the handicap now, and we will have to think about the likes of the Ryanair or maybe even the Queen Mother if the ground was soft.

Supposedly Benefficient is schooling in Leopardstown this morning with the aim to running in the Queen Mother #CheltFest

Elliott also said something similar at the Paddy Power preview night.

Got a bit of 80s yesterday on Betfair so hope its right.

Believe nothing of what you hear and little of what you see.

Especially with the shhhnake! I dont see why he wouldn't throw him into the champion chase as he has the speed for two miles. Can only think that the only reason is that he really really fancies his chances in the ryanair -- which he should -- but the champion chase has never looked so open and winnable.

Bennefficient Solid for Ryanair so maybe Mouse saying First L will go Gold Cup has changed plans again.

 

[skippymac6]

Does Mouse make that call? He probably is due won after getting shafted last year and having to re-route him when he probably had the better form at the time than SDC

My 2c worth ... If good Last a Installment doesn't run

Keep him for Punchestown?

Keep him for Punchestown?

Eddie O'Leary said he was only 50:50 to run.

Think its in this piece about 2:50 in
