What happens then if this ends up being Appreciate It v Bob Olinger?! I'm Team Bob but i'd have to acknowledge that AI put in the more professional performance at this years festival, Bob still had a green look to him, which can be taken either way I suppose.
 
Don't know but I'd want a much bigger price than they are atm knowing if ferny stays fit they'll probably be facing each other
 
Already backed bob, but short enough now.

With news Ferny and AI likely to go going chasing. If Fernys well being is ok, and he takes to fences I think he will go arkle.

This leaves AI for marsh, but think there every possibility mullins would want to avoid Bob, and may go for the least competitive race with his best novice chaser> AI may go Festival Novice Chase. Mullins may run other novice chasers here such as GDM, JDB or even GDC. He’s stacked with NC

This is a longshot, but with monkfish injured and alboum on the decline, Allaho suspect stayer, and his army of NC. If AI takes to fences well, and with him being in his prime at 8, mullins may look and chance the GC! This isn’t mullins I know, but he doesn’t really have anything for GC and a novice has won before

I'd side with Bob Olinger every time. Whilst nobody can deny Appreciate It was good, I feel his Supreme victory was obscured by the fact is was a smaller than usual field and not a great one at that. I thought the Ballymore field was a lot classier altogether and tied in with Bob's run against Ferny Hollow, if they both take to chasing like you'd expect, I think Bob Olinger would win reasonably comfortably.
 
Paul has said Mcfabulous could well skip cheltenham, thinks it probably wouldnt suit him and likes flat tracks more.

Hates tights track too, needs to get in gear and gallop, very frustrating last season at times.

Wheres the best place for him, somewhere like Newbury, or Donny?

Yeah both them would be ideal, can open the legs and long straights too. Only my opinion but he doesn't appear nimble around tight bends or a another gear on a short run. Do really like the horse despite being undecided on him early last year. Should be mixing it with the G1 boys plenty of ability albeit looks in the "trip less" intermediate range so potentially hard to place.
 
What’s this DJ has been spewing about Bob Olinger being the next messiah? Anyone got the article
 
A boost to My Drogo's form there. Guard your dreams winning a handicap well of top weight (140). My Drogo beat him at Aintree by 10 lengths

Bob Olinger ️The plan is to find a beginners' chase for him over the next few weeks, probably over two and a half miles, & take it from there. I'd imagine we will stick to two and a half miles, but we'll play it by ear and see how he gets on. you'd have to say he's very exciting

Grand Paradis entered in the 2m3f beginners chase at Down Royal Friday.
 
Boothill entered over 2.5 at Huntingdon on Sunday with Coconut Splash, Cadzand, Master Debonair, Kid Commando
 
I want to ask to get one priced up for here but know fine rightly they are going to come back with the usual 33 or 25/1! Ha whats your opinion guys on the likes of asking? Think they just give you the standard price or more to it?

I was hoping to see Boothill over 2 miles. If he takes the entry up I'll cash him for the Arkle.

Huntington is a pretty easy course so maybe he's just getting jumping experience.
