    I get that vautour obviously, but if your a champion 2miler, destroying everything and anything, could potentially dominate it for the forseeable future, youd risk that to step up and “maybe” be as good over further

    Rubys blog today virtually said the same thing, why would you want to step him up

    More chance of yorkhill stepping up in trip than douvan id say, champion chase is something theyll want to win multiple times if its possible, could yorkhill beat altior? Probably not…. could douvan beat altior….. probably yes

    Dont understand why they would even consider stepping douvan up

    Same, jlt is almost a cert for him, ch is possible if he can produce at 2m, the arkle is about the worst race for him, his jumping will be put under too much pressure at that distAnce, plus altior is to good for him.

    They seem to have been fairly outgoing about limini in the mares, would have been unlikely they sent both there, this makes the most sense for her

    Sure is innoko, im usually miles off aswell :yahoo: all part of the fun

    Theyll send him wherever they think he has the best chance of winning which is arguably the jlt, no? but it does make sense putting him here, absolutely no clue

    I think the christmas hurdle was a terrible race to tell if he was quick enough for a CH it was suited to a stayer, hes obviously good enough to be in the mix for it this year, but if jezki was in top form at home, i just dont know if yanworth could beat him over two miles, or BVD for that matter

    Will sit back and let this market get a little more clear before i get involved

    But your right he probably will run here if fit, just speculation from me thats all B-)

    Still not convinced he will run here :negative:

    Would make more sense to me now especially that its quite a weak renewal,that jezki comes here with a serious chance….with bvd thrown in

    And yanworth and ukwimh go to stayers

    Unless its already been confirmed otherwise of course

    I think wylie would rather win the champion hurdle with yorkhill, than finish 2nd to altior or win the jlt, since he stepped off the course last time out they could have been schooling him over hurdles again the same way hendo did with bvd

    i think the CH, JLT and RSA markets are deadly right now, i wont be touching any now :scratch:

    But for the fun of it i think

    american tom to be his main jlt horse now along with haymount

    Bellshill to stay in the rsa

    Aslong as airlie turns up in the mares novice im happy :yahoo:

    Vvm to goto the stayers

    Wouldnt back much at this point

    Yes that was based purely on training fees nothing else and that the he wont be dictated too

    In the context of the mullins yard were only talking about 3 horses here thats it

    Killtagh vic etc where all injured 4-6 months ago

    People always suspect foul play with mullins and i dont know why, hes in a lose lose position with punters, because as soon as he tries to be honest with something, then an injury happens or three in this matter, people immediately assume he has come cataclysmic event going on in his yard, if this was henderson or nichols (who have as many injuries happen) we would not jump to these conclusions

    :scratch:

    I would assume its horrible luck as opposed to a problem, if it was haymount,invitation only and bachasson we wouldnt be talking about it in the same manner, its just who it is thats making it a talking point…

    I recall last year him saying it was a shame for gary moore when ar mad was out for the season and how lucky to have so many superstars he is, to think you could virtually lose them all for one meeting is incredibly unfortunate.

    Wouldnt be surprised if hes being extra cautious with them though, them being at the punchestown festival is arguably more important to HIM at this stage anyway with his current deficit in the trainers title race
