Agreed,Especially taking into account that Fran Berry had already said that NH wouldn't hear of defeat for MTOY.

Id say Henderson must be sweating on the going ..
MTOY is probaby the one who needs it least testing
Grandouet needs good ground
Oscar Whisky too
...and Barry G always insists Bobs act better on good.
Forecast is a bit 50:50 ...

Henderson adds: "We are looking at it as we speak and are pretty confident it won't affect his participation"
More from Henderson: "Nobody can guarantee anything but I am seriously hopeful everything will be all right."

"It's a little puncture, right in the middle of the sole. It's a bad spot as you can't really put a pad on it.
"It's clean and it now needs 24 hours to harden off, and then we'll see where we are. When we changed his shoe he was in some discomfort, but his shoe is now back on.
"I would suspect there's every possibility he'll have a swim on Wednesday, as opposed to a canter, but that doesn't worry me one iota.
"The good thing is he's done all of his work. He did a nice bit of work on Saturday and has missed nothing.
"These sort of scares happen all the time, and we would be very, very unlucky if this goes on and on (in terms of troubling the horse)."

Maybe why henderson tipped OC. We could end up with just 6 or 7 runners.
Out with the dog today and the ground is yielding to soft and i have to say the fat lab quickened nicely on it
. About a week or so ago it was very heavy.
Only seven more sleeps! It's nearing squeaky bum time and i can feel the butterflies starting to spread their wings-Woohoo!

He put him up as a charity bet at Adare.
I'd say he might see something in Our Conor that takes him back to See You Then.
It sounds like this MTOY thing is just something that flared up this morning.
It sounds like f**k all but he should probably get a phone blocker in the yard !
Thx for going updates Donka.

I mentioned back in October before he ran this season that Hurricane Fly had come in stronger than ever before after the wonderful summer that we had and he appears better than ever this year. For his own sake, I'd love ut if he won again this year. He has won two Champion Hurdles and finished third in another when he wasn't right.
He never knows when he's beaten and I loved the way he fought all the way to the line the last day when it looked for a moment as if he may have been second. That was probably his best ever performance in my eyes. One more strong piece of work will put him spot on for the big day and we're very happy with him.
