    2026 Stayers Hurdle

    IMO in general we are too quick to write a horse off after just one poor run……however the upside is that it does on occasion offer value opportunities Maybe Ballyburns second run over hurdles this season came too quickly?…..he was after all fav to beat Teahupoo…..was any excuse offered? Being...

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    So it’s D Day for whether Cons Hill runs in the CH or not….. Putting the ‘should he or should he not’ discussion to one side and after watching so many people offer their opinions, whether emotive or logical, to the debate, I am thinking how did we ever get into a situation where a decision is...

    2026 Jack Richards Novice Limited Handicap Chase

    There are many within the industry that support this view that actual weight carried is key as we regularly hear; - got a nice racing weight - great weight carrying performance I have never understood the view as surely it’s the OR mark that decides the differential between horses and if a...

    I’d be hoping Letos gets bugger all ‘tax’ to his 131 rating as he finished stone last against Ill Sort That, so why wouldn’t his Carlisle BHA rating stand?

    Cheltenham Nap/Lay/ EW

    Welonlyhavedone pulled up in two of his last three last races - understand the form with Ill Sort That and also the Zeus Power race, but I am intrigued RR as to why you have you kept the faith, particularly after his last race?

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    He said something like KRG looked against the other two ‘like a mare in foal’ and that the other two looked pretty fit in comparison …..and that he thought there was a fair bit of improvement to come and implied he would beat the other two next time

    2026 Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle

    That’s what normally happens but it looks like some numpty has requested a price beforehand, the trader has looked to see it’s trained by E Mullins and then run a mile !😂

    If we don’t think it’s ’utter tosh’ can we still offer an opinion? 😂 Gotta be happening I’d say, as whilst it may be a grey area for competition law etc, then it’s a sensible thing to do isn’t it? Whilst ‘team up’ may not be the right word, what stops a secretary in one stables ringing another...

    2026 County Hurdle

    OMG…….so we could have another 3 weeks of this ‘will he won’t he’ discussed at length on the review circuit 😱 Interesting though as being 6 days prior, ground conditions may not be part of the decision, rather I suppose the puzzle with other horses plans and also horses well being at the time...

    What about the Ryanair?…..as it would be good to know how much longer the ‘will he won’t he’ run conundrum will last

    When is the cut off date for any horses to be supplemented?

    2026 County Hurdle

    I also wonder what the success rate is for supplemented horses at the festival, JP’s or others…….whether win or otherwise when generating a return

    I wonder what the plan will be for Kawaboomga if he goes and wins well on Sat, upholding the William Munny and Kopek hurdle form from last season?

    2026 Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle

    Thanks for the heads up YH These trainers change their minds like the ‘kin wind 😡…….before it was that the extra trip to 3m of the Pertemps may extract some improvement from AoA……improvement that was thought needed to win off his current mark…….so going back to the same race where you’re rating...

    2026 County Hurdle

    He’s been my main CC pick @ 25/1 AP for a fair while now, yet i am not so sure what to expect of him on Saturday or/and what the plan is by running him. On his last run he didn’t look the winner at halfway, or even at 2m IMO, in heavy ground, so either it was his class that got him through or...

    Saturdays Red Mills chase could have a major bearing on Mullins thoughts about FTF and GW ‘s participation in the GC, particularly if IEP wins and wins well
