Ruby is gagging to say Ballyburn heads to the Ballymore. But can’t … is my take.
 
Asked Lydia why they didn't talk about the BFX Ballyburn movement this morning

'We chatted briefly about it but the view that finally prevailed was that he could fluctuate again between now and Saturday. Could be wrong; a judgment call.'

Hmmmmmm

Definitely today as the clothes they're wearing:glee::glee:

I noticed it started moving (very small, Ballyburn out from nearly 2s to about 2.46 from memory) late last night. MP hadn't really moved.

Was properly going by the next time I checked which was around 10am.
 
….Paddy Power Preview; Ruby Walsh (RW), Tony Mullins (TM), Johnny Dineen (JD), Lydia Hyslop (LH);

Supreme
(RW); Whichever PT rides.
(TM): Bally looks like Sup, thinks Tellherthename has a good chance, he’s the value but needs good ground.
(JD): Thinks Bally is heading Sup. Jeriko & MP will be separated.
(LH): Jeriko is better than last time, will hit the frame. Bally better suited to Sup.

Ark
(RW); FV, GW & MN have questions to answer, maybe master Chewy e/w at a price.
(TM): FV bombs out at Leopardstown, he’s the value here.
(JD): MN difficult to back. Irish much of a muchness. Hearing Quilixios is working really well, could improve past everything.
(LH): Can’t have MN. Race might be set up for FAF.

Ultima;
(RW): Meetingwaters has a chance, I’d be with Giovinco.
(TM): Meetingofthewaters is what I’m hearing.
(JD): I’d go with novice like Giovinco or Chianti.
(LH); Aye Right.

CH;
(RW): State Man can underperform and win.
(TM): State Man a certainty, Irish Point is very good.
(JD): State Man is a great bet if 1-2.
(LH): State Man freebie.

Mares Hurd
(RW):Lossie improving.
(TM): Lossie by half the track.
(JD): Fancies the fav but not as much as State Man.
(LH): Lossie very talented, trip is a doubt and might bring her closer to the others. Marie’s Rock e/w.

Boodles;
(RW) Ose Partir comes out top from that Leopardstown race.
(TM): Milan Tino nearly a stone off the top.
(JD): Likes Milan Tino.
(LH): Roaring Legend.

NHC;
(RW): Corbett’s.
(TM): EG blew out last year. Talk is good on Corbett’s.
(JD): Corbett’s might have too much class but is risky.
(LH): Salvador Ziggy,

Tues naps; TM Bally; LH FAF; RW; Corbett’s.

BB;
(RW): Good chance Bally comes here, if not Slade Steel.
(TM): Predators e/w.
(JD): If not Bally, Slade Steel.
(LH): Sup ideal for Bally. MP could have the race set up for him.

BANC
(RW): F2F should be better over this trip, Broadway Boy would help SAF. F2F could be everything
(TM): F2F the new champion, would beat GDC in the GC.
(JD): F2F hype horse. Don’t fancy SAF. Monty’s Star w/o F2F.

Coral Cup;
(RW): no idea

(JD):
(LH) Doddiethegreat.

Champion Chase;
(RW) El Fab but can’t see Jonbon out first 3 for a better bet.

(TM; Edward a bit of value.
(LH) El Fab the most likely winner.

XC
RW; Galvin if it keeps drying. Coko Beach if not.

JD; Galvin will struggle on ground. MI and DW will fight it out.
LH;

GA

TM;
JD; Path Doroux, Gavin Cromwell.

TM; Argento Boy a whisper.
LH;

Wed naps; RW; Argento. TM;F2F JD; Monty LH Doddie

Turn
LH; Whatever PT rides, probably FV.
RW; FV GW could both run, difficult choice for PT. American Mike interesting, impressed with Iroko.
TM; Grey Dawning.
JD; Deep race. Iroko has a chance, like Grey Dawning.

Pert
RW; Gaoth Chuil.
JD; Chantry House.

Ryan;
JD; Banbridge ground dependent. Envoi good chance. Open race.

To be fair, when JD says it, it does sound like that!
However, he points out that Answer to Kayf has been ridden by his conditional jockey all yearly
 
Cheers Eggs....

No View in the Kim Muir seems very popular.
 
The only thing I took from that is Ruby mentioned that Mikey O’Sullivan can ride in the Martin Pipe

He has ridden a lot for Gigginstown in the last year and looks likely to be on Quai de Bourbon

would also be interested in who Danny Gilligan rides

Hopefully Better Days Ahead

It was probably a bit of a throw away comment. But Ruby saying Iroko could be the classiest horse in the Turners after talking about Facile Vega and Gaelic Warrior was slightly interesting...
 
Quite liked that preview , No shouting , talking over other people, and kept a good pace up .
Some funny moments in there . :encouragement: .
 
Yes, Paddy is a good presenter, relaxed, likeable, puts the panel at ease. And Tony's generally good value.

He was very impressed by his chasing debut. If I remember rightly he said it was the best from any Novice chaser at the time.
