I see Au Quart De Tour has gone right out with Paddy Power, looks like Bordini and PylonthePressure will be the Ricci represntatives this year

Looks that way although likely that Turcagua and Livelovelaugh will also be entered (both entered but not declared for Naas tomorrow) Supreme Racing also indicated in this week's Irish Field that Very Much So will be going - that's a big ask after almost a year off!

It's Cheltenham Trial Day at Naas on Sunday and I think both Dad and Ruby are on a preview panel there, so they should get a good crowd and while the Festival is just over two weeks away I would have no real reservations about the close proximity. I'd have no problem running a horse at Naas on Sunday and going to Cheltenham.

Naas is a gorgeous track and a very fair track, and if anything, I'd say giving a horse a run at Naas would leave them spot on for Cheltenham. I suspect that whatever about the two graded races on the card, we should all jot down the name of the bumper winner, because whatever comes out on top there is going to stake a big claim for honours in the Champion Bumper.

Willie Mullins already has a very strong hand for the Champion Bumper this year and it's obviously a race he has had a lot of luck in and it'll be interesting to see what effect Sunday's race will have on the betting.

Thanks for welcome guys.

Last I heard was he was a little sick so maybe that's the reason for the drift. But standard bookies haven't moved yet so maybe not all is lost.
If he doesn't go I think I will be all over Pylonthepressure seems to have surprised the yard with his progress.
 
Backed it before nrnb came out Lester cheers anywhere mate.
 
Posted in bumper thread but its out to 16s with P Power and as they have the supposed inside edge, would suggest its not going to run here, i to had backed it
 
If you look at the pie chart on oddschecker this horse has the biggest individual slice of the betting, so I don't think PP always get it right, there'll be plenty of upset punters though if they're right about this. It's about time information was put out officially to everyone, punters as well as bookies, the bookmakers have enough of an edge as it is
 
PP aren't always on the ball - they have Jeweloftheocean (20/1) and Classic Place (25/1) quoted and they're not even qualified. Even so, no other bookmaker has reacted as strongly to Mullins saying Au Quart De Tour had been sick so there may be some additional knowledge there.
 
Well BofF and MrMc i hope that you are right for my pockets sake &#55357;&#56836; maybe will find out more after todays racing
 
A far cry from Cheltenham but Tycoon Prince wins :rolleyes:
 
Wins well and puts down marker for Moon Racer. GE has said TP stays home this year....but a gorgeous horse for next season

I could not agree more with this MG. with just over 2 weeks to go it's about time the info was made public.

Has TP been withdrawn from this race?

I see Blues all across Bordini. I don't think he has won his two races that well and not a worthy fav here unless he prefers better ground, so i would be willing to take him on.
