Anyone heard anything on Kilbricken Storm? CT said he would have a prep before this. Very weak on the machine I topped up 60's.

A couple of weeks ago.
He said he'll go straight there. Should he stay sound.

I'd guess bigger on the day.

I suppose that very, very much depends on Mullins' winners, and market support for Penhill

and actually, Samcro will get backed too if he runs...

you'd have to wait? (or not, as its BOG everywhere...but you know)

Very nice.

If the first trwo win how tempted are you going to be to lay off Sir Erec, at very likely odds on?

depends who's running on the day, triumph could cut up, or be more competitive than it looks now.
Already got erec at 10's though, so likely would lay off

: "Kilbricken Storm is going to go back down the Stayers' Hurdle route. He was not quite right after his last run over fences.

"He will have one more run, then go for the Stayers' Hurdle."

AB form is working out alright. Big player if he's fit.
 
No not at all, but if i can get 7/2 on the day I will lump on.

Most improved horse in training this year for me.

OOps forget to quote Kevloaf. Sorry guys.

He will need to take another big step forward to beat Penhill who won't have to improve at beat any of the staying hurdles we have over here. Division is rubbish
 
Stayers or nothing for Samcro at Cheltenham; they’ll decide if he goes after his next few bits of work
 
I had Cracking Smart lined up for last year's festival but he got injured. Ran like a big baby against Next Destination and I was convinced he would reverse that form. Had a gentle introduction following his long lay off and should be a good stone better than that. If all is well he would be my ew shot

I've also backed Cracking Smart for this a while ago. I went pretty cold on him after his re-introduction but now think he could pick up the pieces if they cut each others throats up front. My only concern is if he runs up with the pace like he usually does. Would like him to switch off and stay on and creep into it. Lacks the pace of Penhill though?
