Yep sorry it was a little misleading. Sounds more like they are pressuring nicky into running. Doesn’t seem like the betfair is on the agenda anyway.
What are the chances of Tiger Roll turning up for the Cross Country? That race falling apart, Balco now out, serious questions about some of the others. Tiger 6/1 generally might prove to be great value.
Palmers hill is 16s for the paddy power plate. Looks very good value to me.
Funambule Sivola Looks massive value to me for the grand annual as well at 20s. Down to 152 already. He was giving shishkin plenty of it in aintree last year until the final furlong.
Yes. You need to be at the top of your game to win a GC. He’s been beaten now by Frodon and ran a stinker at Kempton. I think you can draw a line through him at this point
he has never done a whole pile leading in to cheltenham. Henry will have him right

Sir gerhard out to 5s for the supreme.
I’d have major concenrns over Bob olinger. I think he’s an aeroplane but he’s missed a lot of targets now. If they skip the DRF he’ll only have two races under his belt.

What would the 2nd race be if they skip DRF?
The one envoi Allen ran in last year. That’s the intended target as far as I know.

Nobody seems to know the plan is for Saint felicean and the owner is very patient with his horses but he’d go off a short priced fav for the county hurdle if that was the target.
You’d get the sense he isn’t jumping exactly how they want but he is with the right fella to fix that.
But for his brilliant stablemate, Bob would surely have had a crack at the Champion Hurdle
There’s some English horse with the Hamiltons, permit holders rated 156 after a few handy wins and they’re thinking Champion Hurdle, Epatante is rated 153!
She’d surely go well in a Betfair Hurdle off that.
Still couldn’t bet against bob at Cheltenham
Bob is a lay at the moment - be surprised if he shows up. Have Dornan sponsored any races this year?
Its very quiet ain’t it. Don’t know re Dornan. Jesus he is some horse though.
None of bobs 5 siblings have had any sort of long career. They’ve all won a race or two but seem to be littered with injuries. Been a non runner at least 3
Times too in two seasons and he’s been entered up plenty of times without being declared.

They sponsored the Relkeel hurdle on New Year’s Day. Acheson has a box in cheltenham for the week. For a novice chaser you’d hope to see another run or two. Jumped sketchily at Gowran

Engineering - he still owns a big chunk of the company. His meeting rooms in London office are named punchestown, leopardstown, fairyhouse and cheltenham. Thrown a ball of money into Tipp gaa too.

I think a few lads on here know of the crowd that owned appreciate it. The daughter who looks after the horses as far as i know has a horse in her own name running in p2ps for willie. He was Bought in France and willie regularly mentions how he’d like to win the fox hunters. So I presume that’s the plan.
