Anybody got a portfolio for Cheltenham yet?

It makes more sense at the prices to back him for the QM than any other race. Has to be a decent chance SS will return a shadow of his former self.

Nick Mordin wrote after the Kempton Novice Chase that Simonsig on his figures "would be a match for any horse on any ground over any distance "
He may even have included over hurdles or fences but I cannot swear to the latter. Mordin I know is a source for much swearing here but there you go.

Simonsig is a machine - though don't ask SC what I told him when he asked should we hedge our Supreme Novices bets!

FWIW he'll win the Champion Chase if he runs in it, a year stronger and he'd have a massive chance in a Gold Cup too.

A milk float is also a machine.

Was it Mordin that said something similar about Felix Yonger aswel?

Mordin also said Detroit City would win three Champion Hurdlles.

When it suits your own argument, you can take Mordins word

Detroit City's form looked bombproof. He was an enigma.

Indeed but alas you can't enter one in a Champion Chase.

This a post by EdredonBleu on forum.sports-pro right after Detroit City failed to win the Champion Hurdle
As there is reportedly nothing obvious physically, if I were the owner I'd be tempted to investigate whether there is a circulatory/heart problem.

The guy must have been phsycic. Who, to say he wouldn't have won 3 Champion Hurdles if he didn't have something amiss physically that caused him to run miles below his form figure.? He was certainly around at the right time. Sublimity didn't really stay 2 miles and only won because everything else stopped dead in what turned out to be the worst champion Hurdle in living memory.Tanlic probably only won because Sizing Europe, cantering, pulled up due to a back problem and Punjabi was a shock winner.

Little ew double on champagne fever GC and balleycasey Ryanair to start the ante post portfolio. Contemplating west wizard for the supreme ??

IIRC Mordin said DC would win 4 Champion Hurdles.

[Tanlic]

Must have been counting in the Welsh and Scottish equivalents

You might be right, Luke.

[Bonjers]

Wind op for Cue Card and being aimed at the Gold Cup.

[SlimChance]

Yeah I'm easily confused by this ditch jumping nonsense. My mistake.

Faugheen - Champion
Vaultour - Jewson
Arkle - Un De Sceaux

That's the 3 legs of a Lucky 15 life changer. It's important to remember the whole year that Willie Mullins runners are fairly related in that only one will go for each race so there is an edge in getting the right horses for the right races in multiples. This will be over the head of a few on here.

Just listened to Patrick Mullins on the Final Furlong podcast and this is the tentative aims of the horses.

I ******* told you all.

Fair does. I think a whole 80 minute podcast talking about one stables horses was excessive though.

[SlimChance]

Given he has the facourite in all the novice races I'll give them a pass. It sounds like they are doing other stables next week.

When they have access to the most powerful stable in racing they should. PM is rather more open than his dad. Wonder does Willie know what a podcast is.
