Oldschool Outlaw moved well ahead after the last, so one to watch going to the Fairyhouse race in April.

Its to be considered but Willie will def target UK national hard and see neither not aiming best strings at Cheltenham
The easter Fairyhouse meet will be a winner too as it should see more competitive racing

Soon Geneva JP will own every horse in every race at Chelters, so much for competition.When are Racing authorities going to limit the number of horses in the same ownership. Think he had seven in the hcap chase at Leopards on Monday!
A very dark day for horse racing in Ireland

So predictable.

Disgrace that they got away with it but no real surprise.
One thing that strikes me from the outcome statement is jockey competence, pretty clear the P. Byrne is a pretty incompetent jockey and maybe he should have his licence withdrawn for his own safety....

That's actually a very valid point in a numerous way. Do you mind if I steal the idea?

1450 Navan William Hill Boyne Hurdle (Grade 2) 5yo+ : Prize Money £23086.96
On ratings I have current 2.42 fav Staffordshire Knot clear top rated and current 4.5 2nd fav Better Days Ahead 2nd top, after that all the others seem not much between them.
It's interesting how currently 13.5 shot Maxxum features in the trial race stats i.e. it was 3rd in the Fairyhouse Hattons Grace Hurdle Stakes 2m 4f Grade1 in Nov 25, and runners coming from that race have a 15 out 24 (62.50%) each way strike when going to the following Boyne Hurdle.
And all 3 horses are trained by Gordon Elliott
Win bet on Staffordshire Knot but will do a saver on Maxxum and probably Better Days Ahead if I can get a big enough price.

I've never looked forward to Boyne Hurdle Day at Navan more!
The 4.20 Navan is my kind of race and after any amount of probing and trawling, I've chosen.
Evie's Vladimir 4.20 Navan 20/1 Ew 5 places
I'm thinking the distance and ground will suit this one, who was not unconsidered for the Welsh National at one point. I do like the boy on board, too: Eoin Staples claiming a nice 5Lbs.
Being a Shirocco out of a Un Desperado mare, it must point to him needing this 3m at least. He's won over C/D, too.
Decent value, I think.
Good luck

Pre race, was looking at Irancy as a possible
County hurdle plot job given better ground. Hope todays exertion haven't taken its toll.

De Bromhead’s first winner for some while, there.
Euronymous
Senior Jockey
He is but surely he's Kim Muir bound after that?
Yeah. That's what put me off him. His previous chase he was travelling ok when coming down behind Ney, who's decent but when I saw De Bromhead's form, I disregarded Rokathir altogether.
Didn't really like the ride given to my fellah; the young jockey was too far back and just as he was improving, he made a mistake which was critical. Too much ground to make up once he got going again.
I'll take the win Staffordshire Knot , didn't get to see it as I was out in a crap signal area.
Hhhmm should have considered doing the trifecta on the 3.
I see in the end the isp was 2.1 & the bsp 2.25
Ok, I guess I'm being naive and haven't had a chance to see the video of the race but can someone explain why Slim says The Wallpark " is the biggest joke of a cheating horse this year by miles without telling me that I'm stupid for asking ...Thanks

He could get 3lbs for that. Look at the weights carried today.
