Cheers Tanlic.

Underfoot conditions are only thing I have noted as possibly being against this fellow

I see Royal Boy has moved to Rebecca Curtis. Could be a useful acquisition if he's still up to his Tolworth winning level.

 

[Diamond Geezer]

Sire De Grugy to miss Chepstow in favour of either Cheltenham or Exeter in two or three weeks time.

 

[Digger]

More of That to go chasing. World Hurdle looks wide open.

 

[Diamond Geezer]

BetVictor currently best price for the RSA Chase @ 16-1

 

[Bonjers]

RSA looks potentially phenomenal at the moment.

Minella Rocco for the JLT instead?

I fancy a nice patent for Saturday

Wales in the rugby
Buachaill Allanin
Pearl River
at Chepstow

We could put in Wales to win the soccer and have the yankee I suppose . Anyone going to Chepstow good chance for you to be in the paddock

Do you mean Pearl Swan Roddy ?

 

[Roddy Owen]

Yes Pearl Swan

I'll see you there, Roddy

 

[Diamond Geezer]

May be there too, but won't know until the day

 

[chroniclandlord]

I see Bright New Dawn has moved from Sandra Hughes to Gordon Elliott.

It strikes me as a bit odd that Mullins's only entries for the Grade 1 JN Wines Chase at Down Royal are Alelchi Inois & Urano, both of whom have been on the go all summer.

No entries for Djakadam,Don Poli,Vautour etc.

 

[Grasshopper]

I reckon Vautour will go Durkan/King George......and it wouldn't be a huge surprise if he went straight to Kempton.

 

[granger]

Durkan seems his likely starting point

Don Cossack was eyeing it up too

 

[Frankel]

Is Don out next week?

Can't believe they will send Vautour straight to KG.

 

[Grasshopper]

Me neither......but he goes well fresh, and there are hints that he is tricky to train.....if they can't get him ready for a prep (not suggesting that this is the case), I don't think they would have any issues in going straight to Kempton.

 

[Frankel]

Was there an official line after his reverse in Ireland do you know? Suggestions were it was more than just his blunder. Some physical issue maybe.

 

[Aughex]

Is Don out next week?

He's entered in the G3 that he won last year, against him are the 1-2 from last week Gowran Champion chase and probably few other Gigginstown runners as well.

Physical. Mullins said he wasn't right and had to hard-train him to get him ready for Festival.

 

[Euronymous]

Mmmm, to beleive a trainer or not?

I'd certainly take him on at a short price if Kempton came up soft.

 

[Frankel]

Physical. Mullins said he wasn't right and had to hard-train him to get him ready for Festival.

Yes do recall the had to work him hard before Cheltenham comment. Was hoping there would be more details of exactly what the issue was.
Then again Willie does play his cards close.
Chappers would get it out of him.

 

[Grasshopper]

From Chasers & Hurdlers:

Mullins revealed that he had to be "very hard" on Vautour in the three weeks leading up to the Festival, to get him fully fit.

"He was definitely wrong over Christmas, and I just couldn't get him right.....and it's been a rush at the end".
