CCM- who do you fancy for this? if anything!

Ive backed Salsaretta at 33/1, Epatante at 16/1 and Daphne du Clos at 16/1.

Getting slightly concerned about DDC not being seen yet tbh, but happy with the other two. Will be keeping my eyes firmly on the Grade 2 race at Fairyhouse later this month and if Chante Neige is the Mullins horse for that race, then I will be backing her, but she's always been too short for me and hasnt been moving in price so will hang on until then.

How about yourself?
 
I've only done Colreevy at this stage + again she hasn't been sighted after having an entry in December- has to be a worry now.

At least you've two good prices to go to war with!
 
Fingers crossed... pleasing to see the money for Salsaretta and the price reduction with PP lately!

Yeah I had Colreevy on my list but she struck me as more of a stayer tbh. Hope you get a run for your money!
 
BUILDMEUPBUTTERCUP.
watched this win last time and tried to find it again (the video) today but unsuccessful.
Backed it anyway 16-1 SKY NRNB, small stakes
Have looked at it couple of times before for this race as Mullins mare.
Maiden hurdle was 29 runner and form not bad at all.
formerly with channon, would expect willie to improve, no disrespect.
5th in aintree mares bumper,
ran against crystal ocean on the flat, no less (finished last)

But she's entered in the Moscow Flyer on Sunday (and AP Fav) which is interesting, and whilst all the entries all have a distinct 2nd division feel. Whoever wins will emerge with some credit.
She may not run sunday or run well and she may not run at cheltenham, but I've took a 'chance' with NRNB.
not priced up with b365 for some reason.

noticed on B365 now.
If declared tomorrow and ruby rides, will shorten, if places goes single figures, if wins she goes very short.

What puts me off with her. She's running too close to the Solerina mares. She won't be back out for both. So he's obviously something lined up for that. The proven path.

Salsaretta?

Would he run chante neige in it first time out without her winning a maiden first?

There's a few 2 milers like guanabara / elfile etc...
Theres no reason to my knowledge, that he wouldn't run chante neige 1st time up here . I'd be dissapointed if he dosent. And worried if she diddnt have an entry.

I've also backed chante niege, but we've only had three years of this race so probably a bit early to get too commited to tried and tested routes, Let's dance who had more experience raced mainly against the boys as her prep.
Not sure if buttercup gonna be declared anyhow, just tooka flyer.
So Chante Niege being less experenced I think the Solerina would be a typical starting point.
Not sure it's a given she's the best in the yard, on the track though, but it's the percentage play.
 
A positive soundbite from Nicky's blog re Daphne Du Clos which is good to hear:

@Jaymoroy83 - How is Daphne Du Clos? Has she recovered and will we be seeing her soon? She looked really exciting.

Yes, she was, and could still be, very exciting. She worked this morning and jumps very well and is a very talented mare. I think she will be appearing very shortly as I want to get two runs into her before the Trull House Mares’ Novice at the Festival.

Cheers for that CCM, nice to get a positive report I was taking the deafening silence as a bad sign given her injury last year!

What price did you get?

She's 2nd string in a weak looking Moscow Flyer, but I'm seeing your angle!

Like that CCM. I really do need to read this blog.

I had 2 pts e/w any race months back, was fearing the worst.

Not going to top up, as all I really know is she's better than Western Ryder, and she did get beaten bu Cap Soliel - so it's fair to say she's going to be 'good'... but I Don't know "how good".

Yes hard to be overly positive kev, but Cap Soleil had had the benefit of a run when they met and did go on to be second in this race last year. My gut feeling is that DdC would have beaten CS if she'd got to Cheltenham. If there is no Laurina this time around that could put her right in the shake up this year.
 
Yeah, in the mix for sure on what she was... if she's still the same horse and effective over the obstacles she'll be there or thereabouts.

An each way play if I was backing again, I still 'expect' Mullins to have one too good.
