Harry frys horse is nice but something about that Tolworth running makes me think he needs further at the very elite level

Have to be a poor renewal for him to win the Supreme, but we’ve seen some poor horses win it in the past.

Appreciate It looks a class above, but these to me seem a poor set of novice hurdlers. Wouldn’t suprise me if something left field went and won it.
 
Didn't hear Nick but the word on the street is the Ballymore. I am on any race and really don't know which i prefer him in
 
Rachael Blackmore had to say

“I don’t think he’s a real sharp Champion Hurdle horse in the making. Two and a half is ideal for him now but I wouldn’t rule out two either.
“For the future he’s probably going to be one for longer trips. He’s won a point-to-point and looks one for fences in the future.”

Nice performance from Bob Olinger, lengthened nicely from the last and won it well.

Trying to weigh up my mind regarding Blue Lord - part of me is wondering if he would benefit from a drop back in trip to that he won over at Punchestown, but then part is saying if he settled better, he could probably see out 2m 4f.

Exactly , I ended up going for the shorter race and backed him for the Supreme NRNB with PP
 
I think Blue Lord looked a huge shell of a horse waiting to fill out who will be one for next year

I can see him placing in graded novices and then a weapon next term chasing

One minus for him would be Daryl Jacob will be jocked up at major festivals
 
Bob backers will be pleased. Have to like the way he jumped the last two. Interesting to see who goes off fav at Cheltenham. Know who I'll be on.
 
Llandinabo Lad has no entries. That’s a couple of speculations down the Swanee (standard).

Anyone know if he picked-up an injury at Haydock?
 
You'll probably get a handle on that Monday Feb 8th when the five day acceptors for the Betfair Hurdle are published.

Post race report at Haydock "trainer could offer no explanation for the gelding's performance; jockey (Nico) said gelding stopped quickly"
