On AP. And that stat means I'll be topping up on the day.
I'm so heavily invested in Altior in multiples I have to back Min in the race as minor cover.
As for that timeform stat, I'd say Altior had a pretty easy race and is unlikely to bounce. in addition Henderson says he barely missed any work, and the final point I'd make is that the exception was also a Henderson chaser. I'd be more than inclined to ignore it.
This is not in reply to what you’ve just said Granger but I heard a suggestion that Politologue had been given time off after a busy end to 2017 and they were only just building him up again.
Can’t for the life of me remember where that came from or if it has any credence.

A lot of Ditcheat horses are given a quiet spell during January whilst they have their annual innoculations.
Yeah, I’m not suggesting that might happen but it might be worth considering when trying to weigh up Min v Altior.
For me Min has produced a performance at true championship pace last week whereas Altior has simply had a superior turn of foot than his rival after a more sedate pace.
It’s hard to knock Altior but you’ve got to believe they’re beatable unless all evidence points to the contrary.

Douvan given an entry at Gowran on Saturday.
The older I get the better I was.
I think so. None of the three protagonists declared for that race are running over their usual trip. If they all stand their ground it’ll be interesting.

Douvan a million to run in Gowran, imo.

All the 7/1 NRNB for the Ryanair been gobbled up. Most places 4/1 now but just got on with Coral at 6/1. I agree it looks a risk feee investment. If he lines he'll be a lot shorter.
shortened for the queen mum too
as an aside mullins has some other weird entries for the weekend. vvm who was rumoured to be retiring has an entry at navan, also abbyssial & bellshill who've not been sighted for ages.
he's probably pissing himself with laughter while he makes them
There's no way Mullins is going to all this trouble for the Ryanair.
Even on the other side of the world Douvan been given an entry has raised gasps.
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Start of the season RR was quoted as saying where Douvan goes will depend on Min, which raised a few eyebrows. Min looked pretty good LTO so will go QMCC and therefore I wouldn't be surprised to see Douvan in the Ryanair if he does make the festival, plus it means avoiding Altior, who if Douvan is to meet may be better off waiting until he's had a run or two first.
