Triumph Hurdle 2018

Stormy Ireland will be gone before they know it and the jockeys will get an absolute hiding from the public when they get asked the question "why did you give her so much of a lead?"

You just made me go all nostalgic about Make A Stand!
 
She will certainly enjoy the heavy going that I've predicted!!

You think they will try and make all on her? Very different opposition.
 
As this is now the second time you have jumped on a poster for posting about Simon Rowlands I am assuming you have a massive problem with the guy, that said each is entitled to post what they feel relevant to a thread, including yourself, but to jump on the poster isn't going to answer your questions regarding SR nor is it going to help you in your anger towards him either!

Do you actually have an opinion? Or do you just have a problem in myself expressing opinions? It seems slightly bigger than the one you presume I have with Simon Rowands. Jumping on the poster, really?
 
Easy now fellas . Lets keep it nice and friendly. Nothing wrong in a bit of bite though!!

I'm not entirely sure, I think she showed enough speed on debut but Ruby called her more of a stayer than Mr Adjudicator on the Racing UK Facebook Live thing they done, so IMO, she could go from the front and in the belief she may be a stayer as well I'd happily use her stamina as well, assuming what Ruby said is indeed true.

Could well be the case.
Sussex ranger and gumball could well be prominent up front too. So possibly unlikely she would get a soft lead. Atleast if ruby is on board and wants to make all he can set the fractions as good as any man.

Yeah definitely.

I am also very much covered by Apples Shakira too, so depending how the early festival bets start I may actually end up needing her more than SI, but I still have the belief that SI could be special!
 
Do we think ruby will ride Stormy Island or Mr Adjudicator?
 
How much of a positive is that?

Is the time boffin is an outstanding tipster? All about finding an angle (that plenty can cope without) and seeing his name in lights. Job done.

Do you not think it's a positive that an ex-flat, speedier-type in Mr. Adjudicator, put up a good time in a solidly run race including staying on well and battling against a good horse like Farclas?

I do, and it's the best form on offer. Although for some reason I've backed Farclas.

Don't think Farclas is a bad bet at all, consistent and improving.

Stormy Ireland would concern me if Ruby picks her as first choice however
 
I think you'll have to bear in mind that Ruby hasn't ridden any of Willie's main fancies in a race so your guess will probably be as good as his. Over hurdles, I'd have no problem at all with Paul being on board.

Stormy Ireland - based on the option of front running her, Ruby is better at that, if she's more a staying type.
 
Anyone got a word on Eoline Jolie? Still entered in the Triumph and Mares Novice, and was some support for her yesterday on the exchanges.

Ruby mentioned him in a PaddyPower blog and people are getting excited.
 
Still looking for clues here, I steamed into Stormy Ireland a while back but hasn't been too many clues on the exchange for this one. Interesting that Betfair and PP have cut Eoline Jolie into 16s today.

Personally happy to be against Apples Shakira and Redicean here.

I think that's because they've just started going NRNB on all races today - certainly the case with Betfair Sportsbook
 
Any ideaa who ruby sides with? Doesnt seem to be a huge amount of confidence in stormy ireland or mr adjudicator so maybe saldier, impressive in only run for them so far and about 25lb better than mr adj on the flat
