Given that mine is not among the twenty nine entered in either the Dewhurst or the Racing Post Trophy, I don't think I'll be in contention this year either.
He still has entries though, so he is still alive! After Apollo disappeared off the radar last year, and it's only emerging now that he died, I'm a little worried about Theatre (though he isn't my horse for the competition). He has no entries at all, and he is high in the betting for both Guineas and Derby.

You might remember me mentioning that Starbright was given to KP at the Newmarket sales last year by John Magnier. That bit of advertising has worked a treat.
I think the best of them so far is Hall of Mirrors, he's a much better horse than he's shown to date, if they can get him straighted out. Entered up in Dundalk next Sunday with cheekpieces.

"My" filly Moth runs tomorrow at Navan. So I will be shouting "come on me mot" very loudly in ladbrokes Parnell St tomorrow afternoon if anyone wants a laugh.
