Mullins stable tour out on sporting life on sunday, so guess we'll have a lot of people f5ing to beat the bookies
 
Fun Fun Fun looked a tidy prospect in 5.20 - Champion Bumper candidate or likely one for Punchestown?
 
Yep, got to be on it as 365 are 100% going to remove cashout within 1-2 minutes of it being out


Are you anticipating some 'negative' news re some like me ?

Yeah, mostly him saying he's targeting stuff at the race I haven't backed them for, like sir gerhard and the supreme last year

AHH ok. I was thinking that we could get a few that may miss Cheltenham all together. Already had Monkfish today so that's one already.

Does anyone have any specific horses their nervous about or looking to add?

I’m tempted to cash Appreciate It. He could go anywhere or be lacking fitness. Feel I’m in too deep on James Du Berlais, but no cash out so let’s see what happens. Not got a good feeling though.

Tempted to add Blue Lord for the Ryanair. Who on earth is going to run other than Allaho? 33/1 seems fair and Blue Lord should step up as Willie has a strong 2 mile squad.

I cashed Appreciate It earlier today.

Might be injured, might stay over hurdles, might go chasing but up in trip. I'd rather take a small cashout loss and reback later if necessary, way too many maybes about him at the minute.
 
Nice to be back at Cheltenham yesterday. Not so keen on the ?7.50 Guinness served in a sustainable paper cup!!
 
This is pretty awful journalism, just reading the preview for the 3.15 Cheltenham on the racing post website, this made me laugh.

Dads Lad probably isn't in that class, but he will be Willie Mullins' first runner of the Cheltenham season and his sole representative on the card. Brian Hughes is booked for just his third ride for the stable and is searching for his first winner.

Written by graeme rodway, that explains it he made some power rankings for chasers and hurdlers about a week ago and had royale pagaille 5th above galopin des champs and goshen as the 4th best hurdler! Utter clown

Ha ha. And Brian 'Hughes' wins on Dads Lad at 7/2. As you said, Willie's only runner at the meeting.

What does 'self certificate ' mean as a reason given for a Non Runner.
