    Rathlin’s run in the Supreme Novice just underlines what a machine Last Instalment is. Can’t wait to see him over a fence next year. They’ll have some amount of novice chasers next year – Last Instalment, First Lieutenant, Sir Des Champs etc. Should be interesting to see how they’re all campaigned.

    Ipsos Du Berlais looks interesting – brother to Corleone. It’s the type of pedigree that Meade traditionally does well with.

    Bog Warrior runs for them today in the Maiden over 2m4f.

    They had another runner called Lockdown who ran in the first who looks useless

    [attachment=0:344j0fjk]U000013015938031.jpg[/attachment:344j0fjk]Bog Warrior wins at 9/4 under Ruby :wink: .

    "He always told us he was a good horse but he tends to race keenly and was very free at Navan last time," said Martin.

    "I’m not sure if he’ll run again over hurdles this season but he’ll make a proper novice chaser for next season.

    "Ruby liked him a lot. I said to him that I was surprised when he lined him up at the back but he said to me ‘I’ll ride them – let O’Leary fly them!’."

    Last Instalment should be a backable price against Lios A Choill and The Real Article.

    Not sure The Curragh will suit Samain. He looked better going left-handed last time out. The Curragh is the last track you’d want a horse running all over the place up the straight given the width of it. It could just be greeness on the part of the horse though.

    Quito De La Roque is fast becoming one of my favorite horses and he’ll definitely take all the beating tomorrow.

    Last Instalment vs The Real Article is possibly the race of the day…

    …but does any race this weekend look more exciting than the bumper at the Curragh?

    What a day’s racing we’re in store for! I for one will be in my element :mrgreen:

    Not much to write home about today other than Folsom Blue’s run in the bumper which was a good solid run but a bit disappointed with the ride Nina gave it….you needed to be up front today and for me he was held too far back off the pace.

    Would sell horses like Joe Smooth and Ninth legion…obviously very poor animals. They seem to keep these types in training in the hope but if they cant win in piss poor tracks like Gowran i not sure they hold much hope for the future

    Great day for Gigginstown

    Last Installment was very impressive despite incredibly green and will be a smashing chaser

    Mr Cracker looks a horse a better horse on better ground and that was a good display….Roi Du Mee made mistakes and best forget that run…obviously changing tactics was stupid considering he best display was from the front but with Mr Cracker may be hard to do.

    Samain bolted in…himself and waheeb should meet at Punchestown

    Point winner for Mouse….nice Milan gelding won by 8l.
    :D :D

    Happy days
