2026 Juveniles

Jack said it was the padded hurdle that caught him out....

That’s a load of nonsense, he jumped the hurdle perfectly he just didn’t get a leg out in time and he had no problem with them up to that point.
 
Ummmmmmm, I'm kidding lads.........

Thoughts on Proactif and Macho Man lads. I believe MM will be starting out later than Proactif. These are the only two I'm covering for now, do you have a preference for one over the other, cheers

Proactif I think will be much better than Macho Man

Only my opinion though

It's hard to judge things when you've only seen them once

I'm the other way round to Darlo and prefer Macho Man. They are the two Juveniles I am most looking forward to from Willie's. I was taken with Macho Man's performance, which was comprehensive and straight forward. Also noting that the Donnellys purchased the second (sent to Hendo), and Willie purchased the fourth. So it's a race where a few seem to think the form is deep.
 
Looking forward to the mange tout and Narciso Has rematch. Who will likely to ride Narciso if Walsh is in Kempton?
 
Manlaga

We'll have a look at either Kempton on December 27 or Chepstow the same day. I think she'll like soft ground. She won on her only start in France, and she's a sweet filly, but I don't know much more than that about her yet.
 
No Mange Tout in the Juvenile at Leopardstown.
 
Narciso Has 7/4 getting mopped up ,6/5 now
Will be odds on by race time I think
I was impressed the last day
 
…W Mullins re Narciso;

I was very happy with his first run for us at Fairyhouse albeit he didn’t win. But he looked like he just lacked a little experience over Irish hurdles and has schooled well since. I hope he’ll improve a good bit for that run and he must have a great chance.
 
Very Nice from Narciso today.. 6/1 still seems fair enough, he’s very likely to be the Mullins number 1 at the DRF now
