If lossie does go champion then that leaves Mullins with nothing in the mares

Jade de grugy back over hurdles would probably be the main dart. He wouldn't have the fave though. Could throw numbers at it to try and win it with tactics. Add in murcia and gala marceau or whoever he has thats still in training. And try a lot of boxing in/ messing around with the pace/ stacking up and forcing wodhooh wide. And so on

Jade most likely by far
Still a maiden over fences and unlikely to get a ticket to the mares chase unless she wins a chase beforehand
They don’t have to decide until after Dublin really but that’s when whispers will start if Lossie wins there in particular
He has the front 2 for the mares chase already and stated quite clearly at beginning of season that he’d have no problem reverting to hurdles for the mares hurdle

Yeah think you guys are right, can see 5/1 for lossie atm at Ladbrokes, she must have a chance but doesn't fill you with confidence every time you hear townend or Mullins speak 😆
 
Don’t know if she’s well or not but Aurora Vega would be suited to the mares on the new course I reckon.
Disappointed in the mares novice but looked great at fairyhouse and best a solid field where although it was end of season stuff it was valuable

Don't think she was bought for racing was she?

If the worst thing happened and Lossie was sent to the shitty Mares again I reckon Gordon would seriously consider running Wodhooh in the Champion Hurdle as it would look even weaker. Especially if BDA was beaten in the Irish CH and was confirmed for the Mares. Double whammy for punters.

Incredible price, especially considering Sir Gino given a CC entry

Whatever price she is the issue of the Mares exists.
It’s incredible if she is more likely to go CH, but at this stage we simply don’t know.
If anything the vibes seem to be suggesting the Mares, not that im taking much notice of that.

I'd say there are no vibes ATM either way. The DRF will provide answers.

Surely sir Gino isn't running champion chase. Not sure why they kept the entry

Exactly. Can't think of any reason at all bar they are going to run in it.

Aye, pretty sure they bought her out of Mullins for breeding.

They did, and I think it was Joseph O’Brien.

Ironically I was in the picture on the front page of the Racing Post the following day stood next to Harold Kirk and Willie when she was sold.
