I believe they’re good friends actually and are very accommodating of each other. In fact, a few months back Harry Derham was talking about Nicholls and him having Henderson over to their stable for the morning gallops and a coffee.

I stand corrected! Thanks. Had been led to believe the opposite but clearly wrong.

Correct i remember this too.
 
I heard that Nichols let Cyrname do a little widdle in Henderson's tea cup though !!

Yes MOM and doesn’t NH frequent Nicholl’s boozer ?
Not that NH needs much encouragement in that department

NH trainers in the West Country owning pubs , Scu and NTD were partners in a pub /restaurant.
Bit of name dropping here.....
Stayed at Scu’s pub , had dinner with Scu & his dad , a former Grand National winning jockey ( friend of mine) and a few of my mates
NTD sat on another table with David Bridgwater who’d ridden for him that day.

Was able to reciprocate when they all came to mine
I digress, apologies
Scu great bloke, took us around his stables , phew 20 + Years ago
Sorry to have bored you
 
Anyone know any updates on Le Richebourg? I saw Joseph had mentioned he was back with them, but haven’t seen any further updates.

Chacun + Min among entries- no Douvan though..

I wouldn't be suspicious with that one, he could be out for the season at any time, but you'd try and keep him low key and steal a ryanair imo. I don't think he'll be going to every dance.

I don't suspect he will either, i'd have thought he'd have been entered though in case the unthinkable happens, and CPS/Min aren't right. CPS has history after all......
Mullins also did mention Xmas for him...
 
Think Defi will be put under severe pressure in Tingle especially with Onura piling it on and jumping for fun up front and with Politiologue sitting in behind. Both those two are much better going right handed on a tighter track where the fences come thick and fast. Unlike Defi who would prefer to be racing at Cheltenham over half a mile further. Think Politiologue will win and Onura is a fab Ew punt at 33/1 first 3 when we are likely only to get 5 runners max. Big Defi fan but will be Ryanair not CC 100% after Saturday.
 
Need Defi to take wrong course after one fence this weekend and have to be pulled up- then go for King George.

Come on Barry !

He was only ever going to go for the CC again wasn't he. What a waste that Ascot adventure was. Still can't believe he ran there.

Not a waste?

They found out he's not as good as Cyrname?



Might as well go and try win a 3rd QMCC now.




Not knowing would have been a killer, good on them for trying. Didn't work, what've they lost in defeat if they run here in March?

Absolutely nothing.

If you don’t buy a ticket you don’t win the lottery

Credit to them for trying and no shame in defeat

That looks decent now. Reckon there'll be just 4 runners. Defi, Politiologue, s Royale and Ornua.

Your way off there.
Your thinking what you want to believe.
 
Good chance that Sceau Royal might get some decent ground to run on this Saturday.
