Snaffled some 33/1 on Disko straight after the Flogas with Boyle... lovely. Not NRNB but I think ADO will be Meade's runner in the RSA ... pleased with that! :devilish:

Alpha des Obeaux is different owners (Mouse Morris). Disko would seem to be their best chance in the JLT though from the looks of it. They have plenty of staying chasers that could flip flop between the 4 miler and RSA but not the JLT really.

Gigginstowns last 2 runners of this race have also gone into the JLT Outlander and Valseur Lido. Don Cossack went RSA in 2014, no runner in 2013 and Last Installment in 2012 was then injured.
 
Yes you're right, I was too excited haha.

A front running display in the JLT would suit him ... nice confidence boosting stat too... thanks :encouragement:
 
Yes I think Disko for the JLT is a good shout Kev. Clearly benefited from being ridden more positively to make use of his excellent jumping.
 
Hmmmmmm, Yorkhill out to 5.5 for this now... Is the writing on the wall?

Well it is all very confusing- he's hardly what I would call strong in the Champion Hurdle market at 9.8.

If he was confirmed for the Champion Hurdle I suspect he would trade at around 4.0.

I think he'd have a better chance in the JLT but we will be waiting until Monday before the festival begins to find out I bet!

Mine neither ! Seem to have an unhappy knack of picking horses that wont run or in all likelihood will not run in the race i need them to!
 
I think we might have an issue with Yorkhill. Very very weak on the exchanges for all 3 races entered. Surely not another Mullins horse about to be announced out. Fearing the worst here.
 
I will say this though. If Yorkhill has an issue and it is indeed another one out. There has to be some questions as to what is going on in Mullins yard. Is he pushing them to the point of breaking, because it's definitely coming across that way. 1,2 even 3 horses out ok that's just bad luck but they are just dropping like flies lately. Must be up to at least 7/8 out now in the last few weeks.
 
Yorkhill steadied now, 3.55 to back
