As good as decision made that for me you know, Gordon looks like he's made his mind up anyway.

Absolutely, when he maps out these cross country plans pre season he usually follows them. Even after Conflated's strong run today I wasn’t rushing to cash out!

Going to be some XCC this year. Delta v Galvin v Conflated v Vanillier? v Stattler? v Fury Road v Geskille........ Take your pick !!!
 
The 2.30 at Dromahane tomorrow will be very informative for the Hunter Chasers division with Vaucelet, The Bosses Oscar & Ferns Lock amongst the entries.

8/1 about Ferns Lock for Cheltenham won’t last if he gets his nose in front, talked up as a possible BANC horse last year before fading in the second half of the season but the potential is most definitely there!

Love it!!! Gordon will send him XC now for sure. I was there a few years back when Delta Work had his first schooling session and he was shit so delighted to hear Conflated has taken to the banks well.

Haha I used to go onto the course and watch them school but the chap who sorted me access got fired so no more access unfortunately.

If gordon says he's the best jumper over banks he's seen then back it, simple as that.

So many of them school like shit.

Henry suggesting Minella Indo going down x country route
 
The cross country has become a retirement home for Gold Cup horses. And I'm not sure I'm against it.
 
If someone is going to request a price for minella indo xc, it's better to request a price for him "any race" first as they will assume your thinking gold cup/Ryanair and might throw out something big, rather than requesting for the xc specifically and getting 8/1.
