    Agreed steeple chasing but I would say I’d rather take the likely 10s after leopardstown if he managed to beat footpad, jers girl and possibly something from aiden obrien, looks a good test for all.

    Im on footpad at 25/1
    But im also on adrien du pont at 25/1 :(
    That’s the chance you take when your backing horses on French form especially juveniles.
    Ut i must say I’m looking forward to seeing favorito bucks on the 27th of december,
    On his Listed win at auteuil he could be something special. and at 33/1 he might be worth a punt.

    Id be very confident one of them goes for the supreme and its likely it’s YORKHILL. if he turns up at leopardstown you should have your answer after the race.
    Bellshill out january 3rd in the 2m4 grade 1 at naas.
    Good luck jjm sports.

    kilultagh vic gave the fences plenty of respect today and Imo but for the jump at the last at punchestown he’d have beaten Thistlecrack more convincingly. He easily out stayed no more heroes and shaneshill behind. I just see him as an out and out rsa horse and would be very disappointed if he ran in the jlt. Paddies cut him to 10s for the rsa today and after what ruby and willie said he’s the rsa horse along side black hercules; outlander and poss abre de vies for me. If pont makes it to festival and he should I’d think there’s every chance he could run in the rsa. But the money says there’s a fair chance its the 4 miler.
    All a game of opinions though.

    I think the reason he’s maybe not been so popular is that he’s never been the mullins 1st string, kind of in the same way NC wasn’t and his form was also under valued.
    Kilultagh vic on breeding is very likely to improve for fences and already looks a better 2 mile chaser than hurdler.
    Despite old vic his sire producing countless graded chase winners over 3 miles, kilultagh vic is the first horse by old vic to win a 3 mile race over hurdles which I thought was a pretty interesting fact

    I’D have kilultagh vic as willies number 1 hope for the rsa Imo. form franked by thistle crack today over hurdles. And the way he used shaneshill as a lead horse at punchestown he looked a true stayer.
    Paddies cut him into 10/1 for the rsa and that’s a good a guide as any Imo.

    Not on myself as I leave this race until nrnb.
    But a considerable amount of money has come for pont alexandre for the 4 miler today both on the books and the exchanges.
    Willie also mentioned rois des francs as a possibility for the race too today.

    Very very impressed with Thistlecrack there. Looks the world hurdle winner in waiting. Backed him at 25/1 Iv only got £30 but very happy with that.
    On another note kilultagh vic must be some beast now and can’t wait to see him step up in trip after his 2 mile chase today.

    Got yanworth at 25/1 neptune. 20/1 supreme and 12s any race.
    After that I would expect him to run in the supreme but it’s still nice not to have to worry just incase the small chance he steps up in trip.

    If he runs in the supreme leaves me with
    Min 25/1
    Yanworth 20/1 and 12/1 any race
    Yorkhill 32.0 10s any race
    Moon racer 10/1 (setback)
    tombstone 168.0
    William henry 82.0
    Bellshill 42.0- 32.0 8s any race

    Neptune
    Yanworth 25/1
    Min 50/1
    Bellshill 14/1 8/1 any race
    Yorkhill 16/1 10s any race
    Petit mouchoir 48.0
    American tom 50/1
    Disko 28.0
    Tombstone 110.0
    Long dog any race 12s

    Albert bartlett
    Nambour 16/1
    Yorkhill 19s any race
    Bellshill 8s any race
    Long dog any race 12s
    Champers on ice 25/1 (regret this one put on before cheltenham run)
    Pylon the pressure 34.0- 18.0
    Barters hill to win any race 10/1
    Petit mouchoir 16/1 (unlikely runner, backed after gordon elliot said he wasn’t the quickest in the world but stayed all day long)

    All win only.

    Thistlecrack for me.
    Very impressed with his win at aintree and his defeat to kilultagh vic at punchestown. Rate this feller very highly and his comeback run was good too.
    Colin tizzard thought he’d come on plenty for the run and expects him to come on for this race too. will be a good test with both saphir de reu and reve de sivola who are both very consistent and always seem to run to there marks over hurdles. Hoping thistlecrack will win but he’s very unexposed and looks to be improving with each race. Something that can’t be said about 90% of the current world hurdle field

    “Bellshill will go for the Grade One in Naas, the Lawlor’s Hotel,” said Mullins.

    “I think Yorkhill, Bellshill and Min could easily go back to two miles, while the rest of novices could be Neptune or Albert Bartlett horses.

    “Hopefully some more nice novices might come to light, but they are the best at the moment.”

    he either dosent put petit mouchoir in the same breath as these 3, or he is going to be steeped up in trip.
    hoping the latter

    Another nice form boost for yanworth with le prezien winning well today. Can’t wait to see him friday in what looks like a very good race.

    On a selfish note. My Djakadam 14/1 and don cossack at 8/1 look very good.
    And my only other bet in GC to a smaller stake vautour could yet be a gold cup horse after looking in the betting like a switch to ryan air.
    going to be a great king george. Although as a spectacle coneygree going to be missed dearly.

    Coneygree out for the season. Very unfortunate for anyone who has backed him. And for the trainers and owners . Sad news for a fan of the game

    The 10/1 is william hill. and yes I agree with you that after if he’s impressive in the challow he could end up in the neptune that’s why iv played it safe and gone any race.
    Love the way he dealt with bellshill as he loomed up behind him at aintree and just keeps finding more for pressure as he did with buveur dair the start before.
    and the first words of david bass after getting off him when beating Northill Harvey were that “he’s a monster”
    can’t see a horse with a better line of form than this feller.
