    The tip here is Quantitativeeasing

    The name is to long but lets hope this Henderson horse wins by a long way.Won his bumper in Ireland by 8L on debut and looks a smart horse.

    What do you guys think and what other horses are out there.

    Rite Of Passage was fierce impressive in the November handicap. I’d say DK will campaign him over trips in excess of two miles over timber because he’s well held on bumper form with Dunguib.

    Fionnegas and Ballyhaunis are well thought of down in Muine Beag.

    Nice introduction by Quel Esprit. He’ll definitely get further than 2m4. Looks a real stayer.

    Mullins will hold a strong hand in this division with all of last year’s bumper winners. Fionnegas holds multiple entries next week and Sicilian Secret and Quadrillon are running over hurdles for the first time at Mallow tomorrow.

    Good win there for Tell Massini in what for me was an exceptionally hot Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham.

    That looked a very good win there by Tell Massini in a time much quicker than the handicap hurdle ran before. Stays 3m so must have a couple of entries for the festival meeting.

    I was quite taken with Fionnegas there at Clonmel. Won well even allowing for his mistake at the last. Bigger tests lie ahead.

    Mullins looks to hold plenty of aces in this division going for three in a row in the race.

    Connections apparently aiming him at the 3 miler come March.

    Suppose that makes sense doesn’t it? Stamina seems to be his forte and even on good or g/soft ground over 2m 5f he might not get the test he needs.

    Fionnegas looks to travel well in all his races think he has alot of speed about him, could see him being mullins supreme horse with Quel Esprit being Mulins main target for the ballymore.

    I would think maybe Fionnegas would be his Ballymore horse and Quel Esprit his Spa Hurdle horse. Who knows :?:

    Fionnegas would get done for toe over 2m. Spa Hurdle best option for him, I reckon.

    Can’t this thread be re-titled? It’s the Baring Bingham.

    Want to get a price on Charlie Swans LAST DRAW for this, think he will go to cheltenham with a cracking chance if he sends him. Thinkn he’ll prove to be top class over this sort of distance over hurdles or chase fences, but this season its hurdles so would like to get a bet on for this, may call around later.

    At this stage there is obviously plenty of guesswork. As I mentioned on the other thread I like Summit Meeting although there is a possibility he could be better over 3 miles. Only just watched his win back but think it is worth mentioning Duke Of Lucca. I have been monitoring Milan’s first crop and two things have stood out from the start – in the main they want good ground and a trip. He is already useful but stepped up in trip on better ground I would expect Duke Of Lucca to show significant improvement.

    What did you guys think of Quantitaveasing today after that win

    Very smooth performance but in Festival terms probably beat next to nothing. Showed more than enough pace to suggest they will probably not be stepping him up in trip in a hurry.
