Interesting which of JPs go. Supersundae one more run for a handicap. Hoping we get Butch Cassidy in there with JDV, Yellow Clay and a few of Willies.

Good to see Salvator Mundi removed, not that it was that likely he was going to be going down the intermediate trip route.

Hoping Jasmin De Vaux turns up although I don't think Willie has won the Turners Novices Hurdle with a winner of this race, that said, he's got to split them up somehow, what with having Salvator & Kopek as his likely other best novices, and Salvator I'm expecting to turn up in the Moscow Flyer and Kopek in the G1 over 2m at the DRF.

He'll know his order by then.
 
Drop A Threat goes for the 5yo P2P list in the bumper on NYD at Fairyhouse. He's not one I had down as a top level bumper horse but he should be up to winning one nonetheless and this doesn't look too tough on paper. He's one I expect to be on my horses to follow list next year though as jumping will be his game.

6yo and going for a bumper doesn't sit right with me. Should be straight over hurdles.

When are the initial entries out for the Moscow Flyer, does anyone know?
 
Everyone sweating over the Mundi entry in the MF........

He has to go for the race, otherwise I'd be concerned for his welfare.

Can't see him just turning up at the DRF then onto the Supreme!

Absolutely. Entry or he's gone.

Why’s that COD - are you expecting him to run in the Moscow and then again before the Supreme?

That would be my current thought process, yeah!

Willie said something about Kopek running in the 2m race at the DRF, I believe, so it would make sense for Salvator to go for the Moscow Flyer.

Cool, was just interested in your thoughts. It was reassuring to hear from R4H in the run up to Xmas that Salvator was ok and working away at Closutton. Let’s hope WPM feels he is ready for the track next weekend. It feels like the majority of FJ’s have him as a lynchpin for a lot of bets!
 
My feeling is that he’ll only have one more run in a graded novice before the festival. I don’t think he’ll go Moscow flyer and DRF. Realistically he’ll have to win one well to still be in contention for March. I’ll top up if he’s declared T run in MF

I am hoping he scares off the opposition so he has a canter around without being asked too much. Just a nice pipe opener, goes 3/1 for the Supreme then we can all sit back, relax and wait for 'the roar' on the second Tuesday of March :beguiled:

I agree. The Moscow Flyer would be an easier graded race to take in as well. He might be able to get away with a bit of freshness. Since they introduced the DRF, the depth of the race hasn’t been as great. I expect one or two not declared for the Lawlors to join him. Maybe Kel Histoire.
 
Kiss Will declared in the 2m Maiden Hurdle at Cork on Saturday. I think he might be the final potential Mullins candidate for a novice hurdle at the festival. Anything debuting later is unlikely to have the opportunity to run up in class before the festival. That’d be quite unlike Willie.
 
Although not included in my 'Store horses to follow' list as I assumed he'd go pointing, Johnny's Jury is an interesting one for Nicky and The Holdens at Wincanton on Saturday. He's a half brother to Appreciate It and Danny Kirwan and I'm warming to Jukebox Jury progeny. He cost a few quid as a store so hopefully he'll pay some of that back at the weekend.
