Great start to the day! Both result and race

Can't remember who put him up at 25s but big thank you
 
If he improves his hurdling then he could be a right tool of a horse.
 
find it strange that Davy Russell put Fil Dor up top but never pushed on to make it a real test.
 
How on earth has Il Etait Temps finished there! Christ alive. Pulling like no ones business all the way round. Hell of a ride from Danny Mullins again.
 
What a race! I wanted Pied Piper to win but many thanks to Eggs for that DRF 20/1 double.

Straight in the tracker for novice hurdles next year, must have some engine.

Would expect him to be put away now
 
Brush up on those hurdles and has a great chance in CH. That turn foot is scary
 
Vauban looked good. It will be interesting to see ig they try a flat campaign with him but if he was mine, I'd be aiming him at the 4/5 year old hurdles next season mopped up by Teahupoo this season and go for the Champion Hurdle. I don't think he will be the best of the open aged crop as a 5 year old but good experience for later on, especially if Constitution Hill goes chasing.

Fil Dor ran better than I expected and Il Etait Temps ran well despite running like a nutter. Will he be good enough in the Supreme - I'm not sure. Last year Mullins had Tax for Max and Ha D'Or who were similarly headstrong and they haven't seemed to progress as much as I thought they would.
