In fact the 2 horses enda bolger got should be requested as any race with hills, as they may not factor this in.
Fils doudairies is the one I'd be most interested in. mainly cos I can't remember the name of the other one.

edit - farclas 16's

The second horse is Floueur thats gone to Enda B
 
Yep, just hate spelling it :highly_amused: so thanks.

I had forgot though.:encouragement:

Took me three attempts to get it right. Wouldn't want to be in a rush trying to spell it on a betting docket 1 min before the off :nevreness:

Fils D'oudairies PU in a point on Sunday there. 5/4f.

Murky waters why they moved to Bolger's in the first place, but would be negative on them myself.
 
From RP I thought it was a good performance with the weight that GALVIN had and we know he's going to come on a lot for it as well as he is taking a good blow there. He's in the Ladbrokes Champion Chase at Down Royal and we could go there. He's a horse to look forward to for the rest of the season anyway. He was a bit slow over the second and third last and he never really does more than he has to. He only ever does enough. I think the Grand National would be more up his street than the Gold Cup to be honest - Gordon Elliott, trainer

Entries for the Ladbrokes Champion Chase at Down Royal including Galvin

Ravenhill is an odd/interesting entry. With Delta Work in there as well,if he and Galvin run them we'll definitely find out for sure if the big G is Gordon's Gold Cup horse.

Ravenhill's locally owned so might just be a local runner.

Delta Work will be out for a run as he always is at Down Royal.

I doubt we are learning all that much about those two, it's Galvin's race to prove himself, that's all.

Can't we just fast forward 2 weeks ? Would save a lot of chat :excitement:

I signed up to a holiday over that week....totally forgetting it's my favourite meeting of the year (outside chelt) at my local track......:boxing::boxing::boxing::boxing::boxing::boxing::boxing::boxing:
 
As much as I don't trust the cow herder, Mister Malarkey being mentioned as cheese jumping does sort of interest me as one to keep an eye on. If he was to come here surely he would be one of the better horses on this side of the Irish Sea to take up this discipline?
 
Was thinking the other day Farclas could be ideal to go down this path with for Gordon Elliott if it’s looking like they want to target more valuable races with Galvin and just now noticed he is actually priced up with a few firms - has something been said about it being a possible intention?

I haven't read anything myself Tonic ., Just assuming he'd be aimed at the G.N again , and might take the X.C race as part of that Route ., ??.
