Been out just seen this now.
Ruby had left the door open to get back on Morning Assembly. Ballycasey been fragile in the past so will be worth keeping a eye on Betfair. Has Mullins an alternative Djakadam maybe ?
got to say though champagne fever looked superb, nice and neat over his fences, ballycasey absolutely pinged the next after he unshipped ruby lol

Just a Par is 33/1 NRNB with Sky Bet and that will do me. They had high hopes for him early in the year and he has had a wind op. Sam Winner is a shorter price but he disappointed me at the Festival last year.
The Irish horses all beating each other.

At Bristol Nicholls said Just a Par will either go for the RSA or Aintree as the owner doesnt want to go to the 4 miler. He put up Sam Winner as an each way in the race.

Ballycasey remains on target for the RSA Chase. He was going very well when he knuckled on landing while schooling at Leopardstown on Sunday - he did his best to stand up and it was an inexperienced horse's fall. We went back and jumped the last to give him confidence and he sailed over it. He's fine again now and it should go against him. He was brilliant at Leoaprdstown in the Dr P.J. Moriarty where he found plenty to beat two Grade One winners in Don Cossack and Carlingford Lough.
Prior to that he gave seven pounds and an eight length beating to Mount Colah and it was nice to see him come out and frank the form by beating Moscow Mannon and Mallowney last Sunday. He's by Presenting so the better ground at Cheltenham certainly won't go against him either.
