Given a tip at Larry Tomkins preview night last Tuesday. Whichever race it enters, its worth a punt.

If off you go runs in the coral cup (only entry) off 156. I'd be amazed.
Only reason it runs is to keep weights down for something else. Which I doubt they'g go either.

To quote Kevin Blake....Charles Byrnes horse’s always improve for the application of first-time Davy Russell and first-time cash

A brilliant quote by KB. It had me laughing in the office this afternoon and getting a few odd looks.
 
Love Davy Russell, himself and kealy have to be the best 2 to have at a preview.
Being on mortal for the 4miler not liking Eddie O'Leary fancying him for the RSA and then mentioning he could switch
To the JLT ffs. Was interesting the boys mentioning that the first 10 in the betting in the supreme would have won the betfair hurdle
Off 141 tend to agree and has dampened my mood being on ew at 12/1 al dancer Really is a weird year this year.

Not sure if it definitely runs FTM but , it may be nothing, but sometimes its the almost the throwaway comments at Preview nights that have the most weight. I was at the Larry Tomkins preview night and as soon as the MC asked for handicap bets towards the end of the night , almost to a man the panel gave 'Charles Byrnes Off You Go wherever it runs" even before he could put a microphone to their mouths. Might be nothing but I backed it EW @ 8/1 for the Coral Cup straight away.
 
Not much on twitter tonight - as always if anyone live tweeting happy to convert to a report with full credit to original poster
 
Some small snippets from a preview tonight in Greystones
Justin Carty said Epatante was a certainty
Also gave sire du berlais for the pertemps
Johnny Ward said he got a text from Eddie O Leary that Samcro was out of the festival
Apparently Pat Kelly has got Galway racecourse to reverse 2 fences so he can school presenting Percy left handed

Just so hard to take comments like that seriously, as we KNOW that nobody can KNOW that.

She's not had to come off the bridle yet, but Honeysuckle would have thrashed all the same horses etc.



To be fair, her French form is strong - I do remmeber reading about that in One Jump Ahead about a million months ago.

Top man, thanks Bobbyjo. My favourite out of those is the AttheRaces one, it’s normally very funny. I’m working until 9 so will miss the first hour though on Tuesday.
 
Shame they arent running Epatante in the Supreme. In Nickys blog he sasys that shes maybe his best chance of the week, which is some statement!!!!

It's also nonsense.

He has Altior who isn't even worth discussing as the most likely winner.

I'd like to get Epatante covered but tough at her price
