Gamble on Tony Martins La Tektor in the first. That run behind Cash Back last year was very eyecatching. Looks like on a nice mark. GL

I think BitviewColin looks overpriced at 33's 6 places in the first at Leopardstown.

I am backing the Skeltons in the Challow Hurdle - Wilde about Oscar

To be honest everything looks best watched, very competitive all said. I backed Sharjah at 11's last night, but certainly no value in 6's currently. I have my doubts about Monkfish as I have heard that Mullins does not like running his best ones over 3 miles at this stage of the year and he may just jog him out. Furthermore anyone taking 1/2 about any horse over fences needs their head examined, one clip here or there and your money is gone, look at yesterday.

I have also backed Cut the Mustard for Nicholls and the best chase jockey on the planet - Bryony Frost - nice price at 13/2. Mares chase in Doncaster.

Saint Roi the hype machine to come third at best

I think this post will be brought up after the race rog!!
Saint Roi all the way

piplip87

Lads what happened with Mullins and some of his owners. I see a fair heap of his owners are now with Nicholas and Henderson ?

carq

Big day for rog.

Abra vs st roi showdown.
I assume rog has plenty down on abra given the prices?

Anniepowaa

Aspire tower is a big price

Anniepowaa

concertista must be the banker of the festival

tucker1971

Just an opinion but I thought buildmeupbuttercup never tried a leg in that

This festival maybe, not Cheltenham as Honeysuckle hoses up

She won't beat Honeysuckle but I think the Champion Hurdle might suit her.

Have Suede Munir anything else for the Champion Hurdle?

benie des dieux should have beat her last year , concertista is the next great mare

Means nothing, he is not good enough to win a CH , probably end up in the Ryanair or something else handy. Wouldn't place in a CH.

I think she would have a chance?

Coneygree

Has to go to the Mares right? Perfect horse to carry on from Annie, VVM and Benie.

Wouldn't trust the owners though.

IAMAMORON

20's for the CH.

I reckon a few will line up there as it looks competitive and I would wait for the day, but I would back her if Honey suckle is not going.

She only looks half fit.

I have a handy mouth, but the slurry out of yours tops anything else I ever read on these threads.

Claiming horses beaten in grade 1's should have won is really being full of shight.

Every time you spout your mouth pure garbage just falls out of it.

Coneygree

I think Mullins has too many for the CH to send her there. A bit like Shewearsitwell most likely going down the Mares Novice route rather than the Supreme.

Benie for the Mares Chase now hopefully.

Gavin "shels"

Catching up with the racing so far today... I see JP made his sponsorship money back in the first in Leop

Concertista went well!

Fair point, but you would have to put yourself in the owners shoes?

If they think she could win a CH surely he would have to train her for it?

She wouldn't beat Honeysuckle imo. But she won well last year over the 2 mile.

Monk is a beast

That was some race, Monkfish looks a serious prospect

Latest Exhibition looks big at 5-1, definite value imo.

Good win for Monkfish but a big run by Last Exhibition.

Anniepowaa

the albert bartlett form is rock solid i'd send monkfish and latest exibition straight to the gold cup

Coneygree

Big run from Latest Exhibition but Monkfish is class. He's some size of a thing, a bit like Topofthegame you'd worry how he'll handle it all as he gets older.

piplip87

Saldier to win here, as Patrick Mullins said could be anything, really liked the run where he beat Klassical Dream, Sarjah and Petit Mouchier.

ItAintMeBabe

Anyone else think Mullins seems sweet on Sarjah?

RivetingRoger

Abacadabras time!!

What I took from both Mullins interviews is to lump on Sadlier for March

Of course I was on Abra

Beautifully timed by Patrick, cruised it.

Hahaha Sharjah again, mad game

Some bubbles well and truly burst there.

St roi wins the matchup with abra as expected.

Abracadabra - and its dissapeared !!!

RivetingRoger

Abacadabras just stopped
Saint Roi found nothing

Back Buveur Dair now!!

Rabbit Redux

Aspire Tower ran a cracker for a 4yo against a course specialist. Will be better next season.

Coneygree

Aspire Tower continues to prove me wrong, fine fine horse. Goshen must have been some yoke seeing how he and Allmankind have fared this year. The division is a mess though, very open race. Saldier looked like he was ridden tactically for the other two, but maybe that's pocket talk on my part.

Gavin "shels"

Always love how modest Willie is in interviews, never takes credit - always gives the team shout outs.

Clique

That main presenter on RTE is absolutely awful. Seems clueless at times.

Sharjah travelled like a dream as usual but Aspire Tower put up a very good performance considering the mistakes.

Be gas if he did a Jose on it one day though!
