Spot on, James. Another reason to suggest Doctor P was expected to run on merit.

What are you on these days? :blink:

What, exactly, is this comparison supposed to prove to me? That one ride was off, and the other was not? If that is the best you can come up with, then...

Doctoe Phoenix is rated mid-150s. What would be the motivation to run him down the field? It would hardly be to protect his mark, would it, given he’d basically be top-weight in whichever handicap he...

Not really sure what this means? That Davy Russell wasn't really trying on Doctor Phoenix?

If so, I reckon you're a mile off.

Still only a 7yo.......could have a massive future if WPM can keep him sound from now on.

That should have Altior, Min, Footpad and Douvan sitting-up and taking notice.

The forgotten horse of the 2m chasing division - Great Field - is entered-up in a Grade 2 at Navan tomorrow. Jody McGarvey is jocked-up, and it looks like it's all-systems-go.

It's nothing to do with Mullins, and everything to do with incompetence at the RP.

None of the panel at the Betfair Preview night - Elliott, Nicholls, Gary O’Brien, Olly Murphy and Paul Kealy - thought Douvan would run in the QMCC. I agree with them, but it was still a little...

Think it's dangerous to mark the horse-up so close to the winner, who was going effortlessly, Shane. Min would have been value for a LOT more than 2lbs, even if OW had got over the last cleanly.
...

What granger says.

Comparison with the Fly not really valid I don't think, Eddie. Hurricane Fly had been failing to please Mullins in his work in 2011/2012 season, and missed both the Morgiana and...

There's no need for you to jump to Mullins defence every time a word is said against one of his horses, archie. I'm well aware how good Douvan is - me and Tanlic are just shooting the sh*it here....

Douvan beat Simply Ned 15L into 3rd in the G1 2-mile chase at the Leopardstown Xmas meeting in 2016, doing so 'readily'.

Min beat the same horse at the DRF by 12L, doing so 'easily'.

Altior...

Bihay yersail.

Both Altior and Min are in a completely different league to any other 2-mile chaser he has faced to date, and I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised to see both of them have his...

Is there a market about whether Douvan makes the Cheltenham Festival?

Still not convinced we'll see Douvan at the Festival.......or at least, not the Cheltenham one.

Altior wasn't returning from injury - he was effectively just starting out late - and I tend to think that the 'bounce' factor doesn't apply in that scenario.

Altior's campaign is effectively the...

Delighted to see Great Field left in there.

Nothing formal I don’t think, but (whatever Tanlic says) it was a mighty performance in the Game Spirit in his prep, and may have taken more out of him than they realised.

Bears repeating too,...

Agree with Euro’s position, though was never “confident” as Altior only had a deferred start rather than a genuine problem. The concern was Altior came back and did the kind of number he did at...

Douvan a million to run in Gowran, imo.

Be lucky if there’s eight runners, given the strength of the front pair. No way he places as an 11yo.

Haven't heard a peep since Frankie Tight-Lips gave a moderately upbeat bulletin a month-ago.....along the lines of he's overcome his setback, and might make Cheltenham.

Not sure it makes much...

I agree.....probably around 7th or 8th!

Tanlic, the evidence would suggest that 2m is indeed Politologue’s best trip, and I think you’re right that he presents a stern test for Altior today.

Insofar as the latter is concerned, it’s just...
