    Yeah, but he doesnt phaf about with having to train on uphill gallops, his prime focus is speed, no matter what distance the horses are likely to run in.

    Correct with the Turners the probable favourite.

    Some people seem obsessed with speed. They will want him to be a Gold Cup horse. That should be obvious to anyone.

    If he was mine it would be Turners next year and Gold Cup the year after. By that time Galopin Des Champs will almost certainly be past his peak so Mullins will want a Gold Cup horse for 2026.

    I don’t see the point of wasting a year over hurdles with him, like they have with last year’s winner. They have two viable contenders for the Champion Hurdle. Who knows what form Constitution Hill will be in next year?

    Remember the board game “guess who”

    Mullins has started a new version of “Guess Where” staring Ballyburn and Gaelic Warrior

    First 5 home trained by Mullins with Pauling’s “impressive” Huntingdon winner out on his feet when clambering over the last a distance behind.

    That makes two of us.

    It’s up to good old Edwardstone to stop the Mullins machine now, but the ground’s not in his favour.

    My initial thought, based on the ultimate goal and the likely targets if Mullins’ other hurdlers, is that Ballyburn might finish running in next season’s Brown Advisory

    Several other Arkle / Turners candidates, a couple in the Albert Bartlett who could be Brown Advisory / National Hunt Chase horses next season…
