Very nice start for Rather Be today.
Finians back out again tomorrow in a nice, if limited in numbers, chase over 2m5.
Sutton Place has an entry at Leopardstown next Thursday.
Looking forward to seeing him out as he could be something special. Fingers crossed.
Love Sutton Place
Have doubts now that he will ever be able to fulfill his potential
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Am a big fan of Finian's but was massively disappointed with the Henry VIII run. He looked in trouble from the off so can't get involved today at a short price. Dolos fairly pinged around here last month and will do for me at around 3-1 getting the weight
I can see that as well - only 3 runners but a great little match up
Not sure what to think of old Finian. Hopefully they rest him before Cheltenham now. Not concerned about his jumping just his attitude. Gave 5 pound to the winner and was done on the line. Probably prefer the better spring ground so I'm not too disheartened having backing him in everything.
Seen a few suggesting that it might be a right handed issue....can’t see that myself.
Jumped better as they progressed through the race and was beaten by a very good horse. Needs 3m at least.
He reminds me a little of The Tullow Tank.
He had plenty of tough races as a novice hurdler and has lost his confidence a little and his way as a result.
methinks the horse could do with a break to freshen him up or maybe back for the stayers hurdle ?
Then again, Cue Card had a similar Novice campaign and look what happened him over the years.
A top race all the same.
They should try him in a scrum capHe reminds me a little of The Tullow Tank.

It's been a strange campaign so far for Finians and agree a break may help
Not all about him though as Benatar is now 3/3 and great to see the Moore's with another potential nice one
Dolos jumped beautifully, but just not good enough
A bit of a surprise that Death Duty is taking on Footpad in the 2M Grade 1 at Leopardstown on Tuesday instead of running in the 2 1/2m Grade 2 at Limerick. That will be interesting - plenty of rain forecast so ground conditions should not be an excuse. Maybe Death Duty goes wherever Davy Russell goes.
Davy avoided the Whisper ride so must have been promised something juicy
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Is Russell not on Whisper??
Edit: Just checked - it’s Coleman. I feel less confident about the forecast now.

He's been booked up on something for six months apparently.
