    2026 Ryanair Chase

    Whose to say come March that he isn’t the first string for Willie? Hasn’t done anything wrong so far this year, continued as he left off last season DRF will shake things up for sure……we may have even less clarity than we have now! 😂

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    When the dust settles on his amazing career, would Willie like to have on his CV amongst all his achievements and accolades, that he bred the winning jockey of the Grand National AND Gold Cup?

    2026 Gold Cup

    Understand cost point, but the stable tours info about “2 1/2 looks to be his trip”- “may not go to the festival” etc just doesn’t relate to a gruelling 3m 2f round Cheltenham🤔

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    In light of the above then it makes me think of some of Dessies performances, both visual, clock and weight carrying and how on earth did he keep coming back time after time and year after year - rare

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    “Late” is the word, entered a few minutes before the cut off time apparently So was it just an administrative issue, the secretary got in late due to the ice on the roads?…..or was it an afterthought?……..or was it all part of a cunning plan?

    2026 Gold Cup

    Based upon previous interviews and recent radio silence then I can’t comprehend why Willie has entered Impaire Et Passé in the GC?

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    An open race maybe, but the GC market has lots of 160 plus horses and two 170 plus horses, to compete against, lots with chances as well The Ryanair market has at the moment one 170 plus horse and lots of horses that probably won’t run, so the easier option for HW has to be Ryanair surely...

    “A trader to be reviewed”……OMG what is the world coming to 😱 You must have been a good losing customer COD to get the 3’s to a score!😂

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    Agree 👍…..The Irish Gold Cup result could well effect a few horses targets at the Festival But AP betting is about a degree of guessing, as if it was only about form and clear targets etc, then the prices would be a lot lower than at present HDB did mention 3m about Heart Wood after his last...

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    “C ……and thats why she is still 14/1 for the CH, even when having such an encouraging first run of the season over Xmas and getting to within a length of Lossiemouth.…whereas Lossie is only 7/2 I think within that 14/1, apart from form, then there is a component around concern about her...

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    I agree about being suited to the Ryanair as I think he could put it up to FTF, if given the chance……..however G2 v’s G1 Glory and be enshrined in the history of Cheltenham…. For me the horse that everyone appeared to think had the best GC trial in the KG is the horse I would run in the...

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    Both runs not over the Ryanair trip though were they His run at the end of last season was over 2m and was a scouting mission IMO post the impressive Ryanair win Beaten 9 lengths in a quality KG field, over a trip i personally don’t think he gets……watch his BANC win and although it looks...

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    IMO not a cat in hells chance 😂 There was prior to the KG as Pauling had stated that the Ryanair was the preferred option However after the KG, how well TJM jumped and stayed on in a quality G1 field, Harry will think about how many more chances at his age, will he get to have a GC runner with...

    EV’s fav in the four runner race at Navan over Xmas and travelled well until 2 out where he went out like a light Found to be blowing hard after the race and had a graze on his leg The 2 1/2 mile Navan race, won by Doctor Steinburg is one that Sax highlights as being a good trend indicator for...
