Pipe entered a horse in last years CH but he never ran, and Iâve forgotten his nameâŚ
Champagne Fever goes chasing.
At this point in time, Hurricane Fly on all known form is the horse to beat.

Sad to see forum favourite Farrellâs Fancy suffer a fatal fall at the second last with the race at his mercy at Mallow today.
judging by the way no cash flow won that bumper today, you can rest assured that Kiely mare Toe the Line is more than useful
Wait til we see MTOY before calling Champion hurdle. If he has improved again heâd be a serious challenge to any of them. I felt heâd gone through a lot before heading to Cheltenham last year. Champagne Feverâs prep was timed to perfection and he is also a serious yoke.
Going to be some Champion hurdle if they all line up
I see Henry de Bromhead has confirmed that Moscow Mannon was sent to him during the summer. Heâll start chasing in the next few weeks. Didnât think his hurdling season was anything to get excited by. Hopefully he wonât be another Berties Dream and that heâll kick on and show some of the form he showed in bumpers from this season.
Nice snippet on forum favourite, Bayan in todayâs racing post 
Sounds like Fergie got a dose of the hair dryer treatment himself here off Magnier
[B][SIZE=6]Magnier row all in the past claims Ferguson [/SIZE]
BY TONY SMURTHWAITE2:00PM 22 OCT 2013
SIR ALEX FERGUSON has claimed that his very public falling out with Coolmore Stud boss John Magnier over ownership of Rock Of Gibraltar came about as a result of a âmisunderstanding on both sidesâ and that it did not affect his job as manager of Manchester United.
Writing in âAlex Ferguson, My Biographyâ which was published on Tuesday, the now-retired manager claims to be on good terms with Magnier following the row and subsequent legal battle over his involvement in the champion racehorse who retired in 2002 with future stud fees estimated at ÂŁ100 million.
Sporting Fergusonâs red-and-white silks, Rock Of Gibraltar became the first in the northern hemisphere to win seven consecutive Group 1 races, surpassing a record set by Mill Reef.
Ferguson writes: "My understanding was that I had a half share in the ownership of the horse; theirs was that I would be entitled to half the prize money. But it was resolved.
âThe matter was closed when we reached a settlement agreeing that there had been a misunderstanding on both sides.â
In his autobiography, Ferguson notes one âawkwardâ situation arising from the episode when urged at a Manchester United AGM to resign over the affair at a time when Magnier was a sizeable shareholder in the club along with JP McManus.
He writes: âI have to say that at no point was I sidetracked from my duties as manager of Manchester United. It didnât affect my love of racing and I am on good terms now with John Magnier, the leading figure at Coolmore.â[/B]
jesus, that horse TNO beat at weekend by 10L was rated 170 âŚhe has to be the one to beat in CH
am hearing about a willie mullins horse called UN DE SCEAUX ? Anybody shed any light, he mentioning the CH for him
won a novice hurdle impressively in punâŚI had forgotten him

Almost certain Pipe said in the RP on Tuesday that he hasnât even come back to the yard yet FP so itâll prob come a bit soon for him
[quote=âfenwaypark, post: 848861, member: 276â]They will rate race through Handazan. Probably put winner up 2 pounds and Bayan can expect to go up the same. Cant see it being anymore than that.
[/quote]
Winner stayed the same so canât see Bayan going up by more than a lb or two which would be grand 
He was raised a lb over here
[quote=âthedancingbaby, post: 851048, member: 48â]Winner stayed the same so canât see Bayan going up by more than a lb or two which would be grand

Any plans to bring him back for November?

Not surprised. Strictly through Handazan, they both should have stayed on same mark.

No Mac. Current plan is to run him in the November handicap in Leopardstown on Sunday week and then give him a break til the new year
