Ryanair looks a difficult race next year with so many horses considered in that one

Must admit, Eggs, I liked the case so had a bit of 66's.

Following your approach, I have been trying to find Willie's best 3 mile chaser for next year, given it isn't immediately apparent. I think it could be Your Proof. Daryl Jacob seems very complimentary about the horse whenever asked. The form of his maiden isn't quite stacking up, with Kings Bucks and Minella Emperor failing at the festival, but he did it well enough. I'm slightly concerned about his absence and am hoping for an Aintree entry, but haven't heard anything about an injury.

….left field mention from @darlojim for He’s On Fire today, been steadily supported and one for the notebook.

Another highlighted by Matt Brocklebank;

ESPRESSO MILAN - Brown Advisory (50/1)​

Espresso Milan didn't exactly enhance his credentials at Cheltenham last week but loads of quality future chasers have looked a bit lost in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle over the years, and Willie Mullins' horse is definitely one for the larger obstacles on looks. He'd won his first two hurdle starts quite cosily and no doubt the whole Festival experience will have put a few hairs on the six-year-old's chest. He's open to stacks of improvement after just three outings for Mullins (ran in bumpers for Fergal O'Brien) and his new yard has developed a bit of a habit of winning the Brown Advisory with a horse largely overlooked at the beginning of the season. The 50/1 available is my sort of price if looking to have a small interest this far in advance. Matt Brocklebank

Looks like the opposite this year. The winner of the Turners and the 2nd and 3rd from the Supreme are all pencilled in for the Champion Hurdle going by the latest trainer quotes.

….i’d be interested in plans for a couple of JOBs.

I don’t think Talk the Talk had any excuse for his disappointing run in the Supreme but Kevin Blake said JOB rates him the best NH horse he’s ever trained. 66-1 Arkle, 50-1 CH. Hurdling or chasing?

Zeus Power was near the rear throughout the Turners but forged his way through after the final turn, finding clear ground on the inside to power up the hill and finish 3rd. A bit surprised as a placed Turners horse he doesn’t feature much in next years lists. A bit of 33-1 for Stayers, can’t see anything for BANC. Hurdling or chasing?

He was certainly eye catching, I wonder if he will go for the 3m race at Punchestown

Do you think Henderson would aim his main two at the same race? Especially under the same ownership, any thoughts on AOI for BANC?

Hoping to get some info on this at the open day on Good Friday
In the meantime I’ve had a bit on both Arkle and BANC.
Will top up on one or the other when I know more.

See if he gives you anything on Prince Rupert & Feel Gut while you have his ear (y)
Much as I'm already invested in OPS for the Arkle, it would not surprise me if AOI showed himself to have plenty of speed over fences at 2 miles...I'm hoping he doesn't obviously for selfish reasons :D


Edit - forgot to add, if there's any of his HIT brochures floating about I'd happily cover postage, usually get one online as Henderson doesn't do any of the Mark Howard/Wetherbys books so if you want to know what he has in it's the only way to find out......of course he is complimentary about every horse but aren't they all.

I've no idea what the plan was at Seven Barrows, Fighting Fifth to the Wayward Lad not the way to a champion hurdle.
I just don't get the obsession with chasing, I struggle with the approach that the Champion Chase is more prestigious than the Champion Hurdle.
Just my take...

Mine too sir
