Are you referencing El Fab or another? If the former, didn't he get a very small injury before travelling which kept him from running at the festival?

Yeah, Although my recollection is that his minor issue was pre Dublin, and am not sure if this was still an issue pre Cheltenham or not ?
You could be right though and he may have been taken out of the entries early on, I can;t remember really.

I just think that on the whole, they make some choices in a similar vein to the mantra of Cheltenham isn't the be all and end all, so given two of them have only ran in maidens it wouldn;t surprise if one of them is kept for aintree, is all I was suggesting. El Fabiolo may be the wrong example in that case.

He definitely had a well publicised issue pre-Dublin (I think it was a cut if I recall correctly) but then I thought he had another issue pre-festival (or maybe he hadn't recovered from his Dublin injury). He was definitely in the 5-day entries but wasn't declared.

I think your cabaret couple were pretty instrumental is having Dark Raven run in the Supreme last year so that Daryl had a ride. I don't think Willie was keen to run him there (or at all). So I'd be pretty confident that they'll have a runner in the races they are able to but without being silly about it.
 
….been flirting with these in doubles but have now backed the ‘HDB handicap e/w Yankee’ (NRNB);

Amirite ULT 14-1
Watch House Cross 20-1 Plate
Whacker Clan 14-1 KM
Hiddenvalleylake 14-1 Coral Cup

The targets all confirmed except HVL (but Coral Cup is his only entry). Prices are with Fred, acca is circa 70,000-1.

If you’ve done his handicappers surely you’ve done the graded horses too?

Quixilios Arkle 10/1
Telmesomethingirl Mares 20/1 (could have either of his other two but my preference would be her. Still reeling from her being brought down in 2022)
Montys Star BANC 5/1 (that’s come in past few days)
Minella Indo X Country 5/2

4,850/1 with Denise

In fact sod it, I’ve just added the above e/w too. DeBromhead always has his horses peaking right at Cheltenham :smiley_simmons:

No Envoi Allen - Ryanair?

The only returning champ
 
I'd say his best chance of a winner too

Sky have got Trainers market w/o Mullins & priced DeBromhead up at 10s… he’s got a lot of live chances & sounds like he’s only sending across runners he thinks has a real chance of doing something i.e. 20 of them. Think he’ll have more success than Gullible Gordon or Hendo who are ahead of him in market. Going to have a play on that.

Edited: Denise has him at 12s same market.

….also 10-1 Hills.
 
Jack Kennedy is the bollocks. Especially over 2m at Cheltenham (Labaik for goodness sake!) ***NB absolutely made up stat regarding him being good over 2m, but he is class..... anyway.....



He knows Firefox has a legit chance of beating Ballybad (again) to win the Supreme, so he's nailed his colours the the mast. No reason he can't again .... as Gordon says,..... "The Supreme Novices’ Hurdle is his target. He wasn’t right after Naas and he’s better than he showed there. I eased off him for a few weeks after that and he got tired in his first bit of work since about two weeks ago, but he worked very nicely at Fairyhouse the other day and looks to be coming right. He has beaten Ballyburn already, so I don’t see why he couldn’t beat him again. He’s a very good horse. One of my best"

Brighterdaysahead they're talking up like she's a SUPERSTAR ..... "We think she’s very good. Shane McCann, who is as good a judge as we have here, rides her every day and he thinks she’s as good as anything we’ve ever had here. That would include Don Cossack, everything. I wouldn’t have any worries about coming back in trip with her for the Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle. She must have a really good chance. She’ll be one to go chasing with next season I’d imagine."

To round out the WONDER TREBLE........ King Of Kingsfield, Jack is giving us at 10/1 ....... "We aren’t sure whether he’ll run in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle or the County Hurdle. Jack is very keen for him to run in the County Hurdle. He’s a horse with a lot of pace, but he’s settling and staying better than he used to"




315/1 e/w with Ladbrokes.

Thanks very much.

Given potential switching with CH news, must be some double opps ?

Any ideas ??

Lossie CH & main Mares ones? Or state & other Mares (as she still prob loses)

Just thinking ideas at mo
 
Stumptown & Angels Dawn is a nice looking double, both still look reasonably handicapped looking at their last runs.
Stumptown fits a lot of trends for the Ultima, and the top 2 in the Muir market look worse handicapped than last years winner after the weights came out today.

I'd had a shed load on Perceval but will be trimming that back as he's been handicapped like he dead heated with Heart Wood - They might not even run now as they could run in Ireland of 7lb lower.
