Faugheen just before his injury in 2016 beats any version of Hurricane Fly imo.
For me this, yes.
However, State Man’s fall last year was not better than anything Fly could muster up, because you have no idea how far he’d have beaten a running on Golden Ace- he only beat her 4 3/4ls in Punchie. Hurricane Fly would’ve beaten Golden Ace 3 legged.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!Talk the Talk was on the back foot from the get-go and his jumping didn’t help.
Not sure i’d use it literally.
Had mentioned Bossman Jack earlier on here, ridiculous price now.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!I’m a big State Man fan and agree that he’s been hugely underrated throughout his career. Every bit as good as Hurricane Fly imo.
Based on what?

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!Lydia asked Romeo Coolio’s breeder where he would have run him at Cheltenham: wouldn’t have take him, he said. “The family are all 20f horses”
It’s true.
I haven’t pressed the button on him, the more i think about it, the more i’ll probably reassess.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!Fascinating renewal, and huge field. Usually a small field and going to the fancied runner.
City Island and Willoughby Court were biggish winners, and guess what they were in the last two reasonably big field sizes.
Doesn’t really help with this race as it’s basically 5-1 the field.
On initial looks, i was mainly considering Ballyfad, Sortudo, Shuttle Diplomacy + Bossman Jack.
Sortudo has a jockey upgrade + looked electric at Cork. I think he’s better than Naas.
Ballyfad is Jack’s choice. I think the step up will help him.
Shuttle Diplomacy, 3rd in the bumper last year at a huge price and doesn’t look to have bad form with Rasko giving that horse weight.
Bossman Jack is just one i feel is a decent horse. It’s more a feeling + i might take a big price on the exchange if it appears.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!WPM has previous of bringing horses back from DRF defeat, especially after Limerick, however, this horse was poor at the festival last year. Even Limerick i thought looked laboured. I’m not a fan like others.
Romeo Coolio for me is the one. Yes he wasn’t 100% set for this all along, and arguably would love a 2m5 race back, but if he’s a future GC horse he should be grand.
Mind you if you read Elliot’s past quotes all about this horse he was 2 miler as hurdler, real “two miler” then, over fences, so fast so slick….few close calls and now he’s changing it quickly to “this horse is bought to be a stayer”….Hoping there’s a pretty good pace here to take his keenness out. ( there should be )

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!Yellow Clay. Nice claimer on board, high marks do well, and he has some very good form.
Missed price on Putyourhandstogether. Would fancy him too, trip is a potential upside given his big flat win. Obviously been kept for this (?).

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!HDLG, I lazily didn’t give any reasonings sorry lol.
Yeah basically i’d probably be on his side if he had a run or two more. But Lulamba is hitting a fair old standard, it’s a massive task for me for KDB to run to Lulamba’s level with the 1 run. He could do it, but he’s a bit mental and with all this time off he might just blow up. WPM will have taken every precaution and is great getting them ready, just think he’ll come up short vs a very good horse with more runs.
Also, Kargese beat KDBs 2nd the same distance and is fitter.Twitter: Jackh1092
Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!Pic Roc for me.
Plenty of experience- still well handicapped for me . 16/1 big.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!Mullins doesn’t apply headgear very often, which suggests he is still not confident about Lossiemouth. However, now she is running I believe she is the most likely winner. Is The New Lion (or any of the other geldings) good enough to concede her 7lbs?
There might be a mare good enough though.
He’s applied the headgear sparingly but it’s often worked- think i saw 11 times out of 17 or something with favs. It’s clear they see her as much better over the middle distance.
I just can’t get out of my head how meh she looked at the DRF. Yes BDA hasn’t shown her best here, but she ran decent in the mares novice where her and JDG beat eachother.
I’ll admit i probably won’t bet the race, as Lossie reeks of a typical Mullins special, but after DRF she couldn’t carry my £

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!From a pure value perspective i’d have thought Grangeclare West is big at 33/1.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!I like Will The Wise in this.
Cromwell was 1-110 in November. He’s already bounced back in December.
It was his first run vs seasoned chasers and he showed up well i thought. The race he was second in at Galway hasn’t worked out too badly, and i noticed Cromwell had the 2 winners the 2 years before, and both went on to win decent handicaps. Percival Legallois won that race + went on to win this last year.
Eoin Staples is a good claimer + with his 7pds off it should mean he’s favourably weighted if continuing to improve. The ground will be good, and i think with his style of racing this will suit more than at Navan.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!I’d be in the Gaelic Warrior camp here. Shown himself very adaptable trip-wise and as Mike has said no problems right handed. It won’t be easy and F2F has proven he stays 3m while being arguably better over shorter his form behind GDC is still decent. Jango is the unknown but i’d fancy the WPM pair vs him.
GW.
