this week's entries

Bit disappointed none of his other mares are entered in maidens over Xmas, not sure what that tells us to be honest.

Was hoping to see Kom Tu Voudras or Riskabahia entered up as I’m sure Venusienne was going to be later due to a minor setback.

Ricci said on the Chappers podcast Riskabahia would be entered up over Christmas, so unless shes entered around the new year, there might have been an issue there.

Kom Tu Voudras one I'm waiting on, but all quiet for her right now.
 
No Jalon D'oudaries either. Thought he was meant to be out around now.

Aye that’s what I thought re Riskabahia, hopefully not an issue.

Yes those are the 2 (if Venusienne is looking doubtful) I’m hoping prove above what we’ve seen thus far!

365 have done a De Grugy with Riskabahia so if she’s entered up I’ll go back in. She was 33’s and have pushed her to 50’s. Will await an entry though.

Danny Mullins talked him up in an early season interview too. I'm fairly sure he confirmed his well-being. A very strange 'how-do-you-do'
 
Away from the obvious and exciting novices being discussed...

Stay Away Fay in a Pertemps Qualifier is somewhat interesting. For all his hurdle form doesn't look to have lived up to all that much anymore on the face of it.

Wins that off 147 and he's probably competitive in the Stayers tbh. Rather than a Pertemps off that weight.

Kawaboomga (Simon Torrens) had nice form over hurdles in France and has every chance here.

Patrick takes the ride on Kopek Des Bordes and that’s a big indicator. He looked smart when winning the Tattersalls Sales Bumper at Fairyhouse and jumps fine. We are quite keen on his chance here.

Zillow (Danny) disappointed at Punchestown last month but with different tactics today we are expecting a better performance.

Maiden Hurdle 2 Miles

Joueur Masque (Simon Torrens) will have to improve from his run at Navan earlier this month and could find this difficult.

Redemption Day (Patrick) is a course winner and won a grade 1 bumper at Punchestown last time. That form should be good enough to see him get off the mark over hurdles today.

Juvenile Hurdle 2 Miles

We have a strong hand here and this race should be very informative as to where our horses lie in the juvenile ranks.

Sony Bill (Simon Torrens) won two out of four over hurdles in France and looks top drawer.

Willy De Houelle (Danny) disappointed us at Fairyhouse but a change of tactics today could make a big difference and he should leave that run behind.

Lady Vega Allen (Sean O’Keeffe) is closely related to Quevega and has good French hurdle form. She is quite smart at home.

Murcia (Mikey O’Sullivan) won a hurdle race in Auteuil and if the ground dries out further it will be to her advantage in a race that is difficult to assess.

Novice Handicap Hurdle 2 Miles

Johnny Blue (Danny) was a little disappointing over 2m 4f at Cork on his first run for us but we are expecting a much better showing here. Coming back in trip combined with different riding tactics could give him the edge here.

4YO Bumper 2 Miles

Green Splendour (Patrick) is a very nice sort having his first run for us. He shows plenty of ability at home and we are happy to nominate him as our sole representative in this race.
​
 
So Willie says Green Splendour shows plenty at home. Patrick says he shows little :indecisiveness:

Lucky place has been given an entry for the relkeel hurdle, as was suggested by nicky Henderson after his ascot hurdle win.

The conditions for this race make this an extremely difficult task.

He'll be giving weight all round most notably 10lb to golden ace, 13lbs to gala marceau and he's conceding 2lb to langer dan.

This really looks to me a race ,which, if he wants to Skelton can win with langer dan.
There's no way he can get his rating down for a realistic chance in the coral cup, its impossible, the handicapper will not play ball this season.
For him to open at 10/1 when the race conditions favour him so heavily is quite Remarkable.

Ultimately i believe lucky place will thrive over 3miles, hopefully however this race pans out, afterwards, nicky Henderson will be thinking the same.
 
Final Demand goes for the 5yo P2P shortlist today in the 2m5f maiden at Limerick. My hopes of him being a dark one for the AB have weakened somewhat with this later than ideal starting point, but Willie does have previous with inexperienced horses winning the AB with The Nice Guy.

Kalix Delabarriere goes in the opener at Leopardstown but that is an incredibly hot maiden where the winner is likely going to be a big player during the season.

One thing both have to overcome is a slight cloud over the Mullins yard for though.

I've backed the win today/bartlett price for Final Demand at 66/1, mostly based on your assessment JackieMoon33

Let's hope he goes well.

Not too bothered by him starting this late, myself.

Fingers crossed. It’s not a deep race so hopefully he’ll still be good enough to win despite the stable form.
 
Where are we now on The Enablers festival hopes ?

After Workahead’s impressive performance on Boxing Day and the form line of his previous race with Jasmin, is The Enabler back in the picture for either the AB or Pipe?

Sundays race will be his fourth hurdle race of the season, so only one more run to qualify for the Pipe, but the current 12/1 looks skinny IMO….. so should we be backing him for the AB together with Sax’s steer for Argento Boy?

It's Golden Ace's race to lose. She can put herself firmly back into the Mares Hurdle picture especially with both Lossiemouth and potentially BDA going for the Champion Hurdle.

Drifted to 14/1 after Lossiemouths second to C Hill with lots of wild speculation about Lossiemouth going back to the Mares……just won’t happen IMO

Golden Ace is a cracking bet to serve it up to BDA even if BDA runs in the Mares

If BDA goes to the CH with Lossiemouth, then only JDG is a threat IMO to Golden Ace and JDV has had a setback which will see her out in the new year ?

14/1 each way steal :cheerful:

Agree completely. She's already beaten BDA fair and square pulling away at the finish in the MNH so why not again?

The price differential is ridiculous IMO, as who is to say that GA hasnt also improved since last year?……and there is a chance within the 6/4 BDA for the Mares that BDA runs in the CH if she beats, or runs very close to State Man, whilst GA runs in the Mares 100% surely

Sold it to myself even more, so gonna shove some more on forthwith! :cheerful:

Maybe Kargese being a slight concern threat wise, based upon last years Juvenile form working out so well ....albeit we need to see her over 2 1/2 miles to see if she can stay in open company
