Nooooooooooooo
 
Can we figure out this loop hole for the Martin Pipe
 
Great write up thanks. Shame about The Storyteller, the top weights have a great record in the Coral Cup. How short does Dallas go off in the Martin Pipe?
 
Thanks KSS - so both CC and MK in JLT ?
 
Swords preview last night https://mobile.twitter.com/champdotie?lang=en

Eamon Dunphy "I have always been a punter and I'm still suffering on"

Supreme:
Andy McNamara " Al Dancer will take all the beating, won a handicap off 145, decent level and more to come from him" #SupremeNoviceHurdle
Supreme: Davy Russell " Nicky's horse Angel's Breath, don't give up on him. I can see him going off much shorter than 13/2 on the day" #SupremeNoviceHurdle

Champion Hurdle:
Davy Russell " The best race I rode in a long long time was when Apple's Jade won at Fairyhouse"
Champion Hurdle: Davy Russell "One worry about Apples Jade would be the weather is getting warmer and the days are getting longer and we all know woman"

Ballymore:
Davy Russell "Might be a year too soon for Birchdale. Deep race Champ has plenty on his plate" #Champ #BallymoreHurdle
Ballymore: Brian Flanagan "Klassical Dream will go hear, Ruby was in no doubt that he was better than Aramon before leop. May take beating in this" #KlassicalDream #BallymoreNovice

JLT: Barry Gerathy hinting Defi Du Sueil will head JLT over Arkle #DefiDuSueil

RSA: Brian Flanagan gives Chris's Dream an each way squeak #CheltenhamFestival


Champion Bumper: Davy Russell " I really love a horse called Ask for Glory for Paul Nicholls. I saw him won a point to point. I'd like to know a price on him" #CheltenhamFestival #ChampionBumper
Champion Bumper: Rob Catterson PP "There was five €50 each way bets in Pilltown for Joseph O'Briens Meticulous" Now 20/1 #CheltenhamFestival #ChampionBumper
Champion Bumper: Davy Russell spoke to Fehily today - loves Get In The Queue for Harry Fry. #CheltenhamFestival #ChampionBumper

Ryanair Chase:

Rob Catterson (Paddy Power) "Ruby will pick Footpad over Min if the two go Ryanair"
Andy McNamara "Willie's horses are all better than Monalee. Footpad is a class act, I think he can go back there and win again"


Stayers Hurdle:

Davy Russell "Paisley Park is the new Sam Spinner
Andy McNamara "Strong word coming from Willie's about Faugheen the Machine. Apparently he's in rude health"


Triumph Hurdle:

Rob Catterson " Sir Erec the next big thing, comparisons have been made with Our Conor. Irish banker and could go off odds on"

Davy Russell " I'd be watching Sir Erec in the preliminaries. He still has the crown jewels and I'd be worried if there was a filly in front of him

Andy McNamara "There has been over 100 horses that have gone from Ballydoyle to Joseph O'Brien's to go hurdling. Sir Erec is the one horse Aiden said would be the real deal"


Albert Bartlett:

Davy Russell likes Allaho and Derrinross (If ground comes up soft) against the field. Tough race !
Brian Flanagan says Mouse Morris loves Sam's Profile for Albert Barlett #CheltenhamFestival


Gold Cup

Davy Russell "I wouldn't swap Presenting Percy for anything else in the race"
Brian Flanagan "Lay of the festival is Clan Des Obeaux , I urge everyone to look back at last years RSA, Presenting Percy wins"
Andy McNamara " Native River is a big thick ignorant yoke"
Davy Russell "One horse I would keep on the right side of is Elegant Escape. Stays forever"
Davy Russell "I've never been to Pat Kelly's yard. I don't know where he lives.I only sit on the horse when he's at the racecourse and he's ready. I have full faith in Pat"

I love these preview nights, part of the build up for the Main Event! But really is a lot of overload of Selections and information to take in! I sort of hope someone already backs up what I have and then go in again! I think alot of the oanels keep thier full cards to thier chest and only give a small piece of the picture. But there is the odd gem to keep your ear to the ground for! MARTELLO TOWER was one I got a few years back!

Ps: Fair play to all you guys sumarising the nights, keep up the good work.
 
Great work KSS, take a bow...

The 4 miler for Gun Digger!?
Click to expand...

Might be pocket talking but wondering if GE is throwing out a red herring here. Bearing in mind he later goes on to say the 4 miler is still plan A for CC (not ruling out the JLT), and you’d imagine MK is still JLT bound. My feeling/hope is they are now deciding between the two handicap options and once they have expect the current price to disappear.

Great write up KS, much appreciated!
