Fair play on the 50s. After you killed betfair I couldn’t get more than 16s as they all went NRNB straight after. Have to let it go at 16s now 😰

Do you think he'll stay? Fair bit further to go and didn't look like he saw it out too well over mid trip at Leopardstown albeit in testing conditions. Maybe better ground will suit.

Yeah think he'll be fine myself, i have it in my head he stayed on well enough in the grand prix de dieppe over 2m6 iirc

Joseph made comment that very few that were up with the pace in Leopardstown were still there at the finish which is a testiment to him, think it was only himself and one other, and the light weight will be a plus also

They dont want heavy ground for him over that sort of trip though

This is looking good now, and I can see him going off single figures on the day, surely Patrick must be near the top of the pecking order to ride, also!

Might not get in though will he? 126 cutting it very tight. Nrnb so doesn't matter though obviously.

Anyone remember which handicaps have had their max field size reduced this year? Saw a story about it a few weeks ago but can't find it now.

Never laughed so much in my life at bad riding as him on one I put up in the Navan Bumper other week

Luidgi du luy

He was on the bridle coming down the straight and give the horse a full on smack :ROFLMAO:

Yeah I saw, makes david Maxwell look decent 😂

Was interested in minella emperor around that time as assumed he was owned by paul byrne looking at the colours. After having a closer look realised o'neill owned him and probably be on him wherever he goes. Lucky escape 😂
