….Fantasy World an interesting one highlighted by Mark Howard (see ‘Tipsters Tips’ thread).

Not sure if he’s on anybody’s radar but could run next weekend.

The Scottish Triumph Trial at Musselburgh on January 31 is likely to be next up for Minella Study.

However, Mania won’t be at all concerned should Nicol skip a trip to Scotland and go straight to the Triumph without another run

Mania said: “We don’t know yet if Minella Study is up to winning a Grade 1. But with what he’s done so far, he’s definitely earned his chance at trying to win one.

He’s three from three over hurdles, he’s already been to Cheltenham and won on the New Course, and he has experience from the Flat in Ireland. He’s still very unfurnished and not your typical juvenile hurdler, but he’s got some engine.

“Whatever happens this year, Adam’s going to look after him. He’s going to be an even better horse next season.”
 
Proactif and Macho Man among the 12 entered at Fairyhouse on Saturday

Well those Proactif rumours not right then :ROFLMAO:

No bad thing if he was, I remember Binocular going back for a mid season "Break", came back and won the Champion Hurdle after he'd been reported as OFTS as I recall.

Fantasy World attracting support. Was generally 40-1 just over a week ago.

I know Howard mentioned it but I imagine someone else has tipped it or it's going really well at home.

Nor even ran yet and a general 14-1 now which given the connections is a surprise but also not a surprise given their ambitions.
Maybe this is the year.
Hope so cos it was triple figures for a while on betfair.
Free roll now.
Lets hope it's out soon.

The Bamford’s have put £600k behind their “ambition” this year (that we know of) to win the Triumph Hurdle with FW’s purchase from Andrew Banding's stable, the previous hope being somewhat of a disappointment, so they clearly have a plan which they are prepared to back with hard cash and lots of it!

Up to now pretty much zilch radio chatter on FW, so interesting the price crash

Macho Man vs Proactif this saturday @ Fairyhouse if it's on
Click to expand...

Awesome!

I've now covered both as the division is up in the air, although Proactif is currently my bigger winner of the two I will see what the TWAF is for MM nearer the time!

Some match up that's for sure

Does make you wonder, is that them now thinking they are relying on Narciso Has @ DRF

Suppose the fact that they are behind this season the juveniles, probably want to get the run in sooner rather than later

Yeah, possibly so.

Narciso could be JP's number one from Willie's at least.

Been exchange watching and over the past month both Proactif & Macho Man have seen money come for them on there. Both are pretty solid on there currently too.

He's the proven one and the standard setter from the yard at the minute anyway isn't he

Feel this race will shake up plenty mind.

Suspect one loses by a decent enough margin then takes up an entry in that Naas race before a tilt at the Fred Winter.

Yeah and winner could go to the G3 Fairyhouse maybe, be too quick a turnaround for DRF.

Trouble with them going Fred Winter is they've been hit so hard lately the FR recruits with their marks.

Not too many I'd give a chance to

Yeah, I'm not saying I'd be all over whichever, if either, end up there, but to split them up I can see it happening.
 
I wonder would they would consider running Proactive in a novice if all goes well for him and Narciso?
