    A bit early to be suggesting stormy Ireland needs heavy. She’s only run once

    Yeah, and I’m not suggesting that; I’m just saying it would be nice to see her on good but then again you’re getting a good price discount to chance that she’ll be good on good

    Yes, He said that stormy ireland was his best juvenile and considering how some of his have looked, its a fairly big statement imo.

    If be slightly concerned she didnt run at leopardstown though, as that was the plan.

    Whoever Ruby picks will likely be the one to watch but by the time he makes his pick it will be too late

    Most definitely will be too late price wise, the way willie talks about SI it doesnt sound like there will be much of a choice, but MA won that race well and saldier was impressive enough FTO. Doubt he will be on the latter.

    So if I back Stormy Ireland now I get 7/1 e/w NRNB. If Ruby picks her she will most likely shorten and if there’s a problem she probably wont run.

    No entry this weekend points to her being injured.

    Patrick is doing a preview of this race for the RP tomorrow so should hopefully know the script then.

    Mr Adjudicator is better than they thought no doubt. He’s the one for me. Loads of scope for improvement.

    Saldier race was awful, very slow, would hold judgment on him for the moment.

    Have to say I also really like the two that battled out that good juvenile in Chepstow – it really is a top notch triumph this year

    Yeah wont do any harm NRNB, i had been backing her up until she was pulled from leopardstown as he was raving about her the week before,put the brakes on after that, it was definitely the plan to go there,so id be slightly concerned (for my own position as it was AP)

    I guess we will know tomorrow..

    I am opposing Apple’s Shakira. Her plus column is obvious, but I would question what she has beat. There is little depth in those races and her experience in bigger fields would be a concern at the current prices. Every year these shorties get beat and I am confident Apple’s Shakira will be one of them. Lay

    Shes back bucking and kicking, isnt worried that shes only had one run as she had some in france, wasnt 100% happy before leopardstown (no injury) but back in form now

    Grand job. Going with her, I suppose. The last Mare I backed in this race was Lets Dance when she was a Juvenile.
