    Great line up.

    One to watch for me, but I’ll be watching Le Richebour closely on his comeback.

    Bobby if he is beaten 10Ls i think he’s doing well tomorrow on ground that he’ll not love, and in open company.

    I can see the view at like 33s for QMCC but has to be a worry he’s beaten Us + Them and some bad horses as a novice?

    What a race. Think Mullins realises hes in a battle for the Trainers Championship. Chris’s Dream, Samcro, BOD and Tornado Flyer all have a run under their belt which will stand to them

    Certainly won’t be betting him Jack, just hopefully see some of the old spark.

    Yeah Vautour i think he knows it’s time to get the ball rolling and fast. Elliot won’t be stopping as quickly this year after Chelt with the ammo he has.

    I think mullins is a couple of weeks behind with some of his horses

    Cant imagine it was the plan at the start of the season to run them all against each other

    And they’ve had to in order to get a run in to them before Christmas

    Allaho is my ryanair fancy and he needed the run badly last year so I’m not hopeful

    I wouldnt be so sure FF91. I mean he’s had races like the Clonmel Oil where hes ran Bachasson + Cilaos Emery. He just has a lot of chasers at the moment that want similar campaigns in my book. This is a G1 and a big pot and he needs big pots.

    Looks a cracker,
    Samcro with the run under his belt is the one for me

    Chris’s Dream for me. I’m surprised that his odds were as big this week after that excellent run at Down Royal.

    I actually thought he’d drift Autumnal- That was a very below par G1 at DR. This is much more competitive and his form suggests he’s best fresh, so i’d say he left his best chance behind.

    I’ll be cheering on Allaho. Just a watch for me.

    Watching brief this. Would probably be inclined to have a go if I knew if Allaho was running here to tee up a run at Christmas or whether this is an initial target in itself.

    Him or Min for me but a cracker all the same.
