Crazy to think with a little over 2 weeks to go, Willie doesn't have one horse that is odd on to win at the Festival and very unlikely to have one either. A long, long time since that happened.

Just as well, he would only cause it to go lame:D
 
He's almost certain to have an odds on fav in the Ryanair.
I'm not so sure now. I reckon they could rely on IEP in the Ryanair and let Patrick have his day in the GC on Gaelic.
 
Do we think Mullins will have his usual 7 or so winners this year ?
Wouldn't be surprised. Can see some of his coming in at a price as well like he did last year with Lecky Watson.
 
This is bound to be a pub quiz question at some point

This horse raced against

- Lulamba over a fence
- Sir Gino in a G1 over hurdles
- and then ran in a flat race against Con Hill

... all within the same season. Name the horse?

Nice bit of trivia. Somebody needs to put that to a Cheltenham preview panel with Fergal on it.

What's everyone's thoughts on a 2027 prices thread or does the suggestion of that warrant me to do the walk of shame like cersei lannister..

Might be worth putting some prices that are currently up and see how they look post festival. That being said the prices on display for 2027 are utterly woeful.
