Hard enough to pick on the day and I am defintely happy to sit it out now. I will be looking for something winning at Leopardstown between Xmas and Feb.
 
Willie starting to get rolling with the proper bumper horses, pragmatic entered up. Hopefully won't be too long before shadow rider and asterion forlonge are out.
 
Do we think Chevely Park will want to run all 3 horses in the bumper should the two left to run prove good enough?
 
Envoi Allen & Fury Road entered up on the weekend
 
Lovely bumper tomorrow at Punchestown, albeit quite unlikely to have something targeted at this.

Pragmatic entered up and Bacardys relative too on Saturday....

Thank you rain!

Why not, anything can happen in a race. Cast your mind back to Annie Power and I know Glens Melody was not in the same ownership.
 
I see Paddy power is only offering 20's Envoi Allen.
 
Envoi Allen was available at 33/1 this morning with Bet365...14’s now. Interested to see just how good he is!
 
From Gordon’s Betfair blog.

Envoi Allen is a horse we got after he won his point-to-point very impressively last season. At home he has done everything right and looks like a horse with plenty of ability so it will be good to get him started. He is really a chaser in the making but we will bring him along steadily for the moment and it's right thing to do by the horse to stick to bumpers this season. He works like he should run well in a race like this but I would like to see the ground ease for him.

Which was the Bacardys relative Jack?
 
Anyone heard what the plan is for Dlauro?

I can't wait to see him. Took 33/1 a few weeks back. Hills 20's into 14's - could be a lot shorter if he romps it
 
Will it even run at Cheltenham?

He has to win today 1st.
Worst case scenario the ones of us who took the 33s can cashout for money back even if he's beat today.
 
Very green. Fayonagh the 2nd? I like the contrast between him and Malone road, and stayers have done very well recently. Very happy with that. Learned alot there.
 
No chance of him getting ebat there, engine way too big despite the greeness. Went really wide and picked up through horses, I think htat is the right way to do it
 
Just waiting on asterion forlonge and shadow rider now. Iv a huge hand for this.

Saw a good word on Shadow Rider from someone else the other day Scooby - got any info about him or anything you specifically liked?
 
TO anyone not on envoi allen is still available any race with william hills at 14s 8-10s everywhere else by the looks of it
