    As mentioned, with 365 much tighter with Cash Out’s this year, despite being 16’s now, and having taken some 25’s with them, only a very small profit on my cash out.

    Like the other races I’ve done this with the last few days, decided to cash out and wait for NRNB with Bigbadandbeautiful.

    Along with my cash out on Champagne Classic, this is the one I think I could live to regret, but I’ll take it on the chin.

    I think she’s very good, and despite Dolcita, and no doubt other Mullins horses on the horizon for this, I still think BBB at 16’s, is one of the best Antepost prices available right now.

    Fully expect to go back in with her.

    Given she was entered in Sunday’s bumper, i’d assume bumpers are still the plan. Correct to cash out i think and await the NRNB…

    With Gypsy Island out i think they’re mad not to give it a shot.

    Hopefully they will Jack, but right now I’m happy with getting out.

    With the uncertainty it just made sense.

    Still no sign of Lamerckise yet. Hopefully he’s just going with his softly softly approach

    Very suprised at the price for my girl Floressa! She has the beating of Silver forever and the pair of them have beaten Heaven help us by 13 lengths..If you look at the hype surrounding Abacadabras if you look at his last race he had to give it a fair bit of effort to pull away from Heaven help us to win by 8 lengths. 10/1 for Floressa is mad considering some nags at the top of the market have minimal to no runs

    On the other side of the coin you could say, Silver Forever blatently needs further. Heaven help us was beaten by an Elliot mare that needs further than 2miles as well. The Abacadabras run isn’t anything out of the ordinary. On the face of it it looks it, but nothing else ran it’s race in the race bar HHU. If anything Jeremy’s Flame has franked her form better, but i’d be disappointed if Floressa is the best novice mare about. We know JF isn’t near the top of the pops in Ireland by any means. Great placing by Cromwell.

    I took some 8s about Marie’s Rock the other week, she looks a proper mare.

    This is definitely not a race to get carried away with though, it’s now a bit like an old school Triumph with big fields and blocked off horses etc.

    Lamarckise is the one Novice Hurdler that made Willie Mullins light up like a Xmas tree in his pre-season ATR preview. She runs today at Limerick. Real deal or another bubble to be burst? Not gonna lie, have a few lovely multis which she is key to. Have Saldier 33/1 & Lamarckise 16/1. Also have Lamarckise with Tiger Roll. Fingers crossed she bolts up.

    Wouldnt be too disheartened by that win, just got tired by the looks of it and most of the mullins lot have needed that run badly!

    “Paul said she blew up two or three times & her class got her through. If I can keep her right, I think she is a very good mare & she’ll go straight for the Mares’ Novice Hurdle at Cheltenham now. I’ll have to get her a bit fitter than that though.” Willie Mullins – Lamarckise.

    Could very well be kev, just looked to get really tired to my eyes, shes going straight to chelt now so will be hard to assess, but i could see myself backing her at the prices, this is a terrible race generally and i am struggling to get away from mullins enthusiasm

    She took a very wide route around the home turn. Would have liked her to do it easier but I think she did miss a few weeks of training with a pulled muscle.

    I’d take the view she ran out of fuel at the finish rather than just being a boat personally.
