Can Douvan run tomorrow?

Well if Patrick says so it must be right. Lets just be done with it and crown him the winner :rolleyes:

Impossible to say that. Min was also cruising but you've got to appreciate what Altior does up the hill. It's epic.

Just seen the fall again. A miracle he didn't break his neck.

I was a Min backer but you have to accept Altior is some horse. He absolutely eats the hill.

As Johnny Ward said, I won’t actually believe it until I see them all walking towards the tape.

Switch Switchy struggled to look the interviewer in the eye when he was asked about Douvan...

Just on this subject of double declarations. How come the bookies have removed Douvan and Min from the Ryanair betting?

Are they correct to do so?

If it wasn't for the Altior news I think we'd be getting 4/1 about Min now. Crazy

I’d prefer the other Ricci horse in the Ryanair. It could still happen if they’re 100% happy with Douvan who is QM or nothing. Min however has won at 2m 5

There is no way on this green earth that Ruby will allow Min, Douvan and UDS to be in the same race.

He’s left the door wide enough open there and offloaded any potential criticism on the owner. He wasn’t born yesterday.

Phew, tough crowd.

At the festival in grade 1’s he has normally chosen correctly. Denman is the only time I can think where he got it wrong and you can’t blame him for his loyalty to Kauto.

You’re right Archie although I think his hands were tied there. If VVM had an uninterrupted campaign I think she’d have ended up in another race.

If Douvan was declared and Ruby had the pick...

He’ll be very difficult to weigh up if he does turn up. Normally I’d completely dismiss one having their first run of the season but they really do hold him in the highest regard and they know a good...

I’ve got MIn in a nice trixie but in the Ryanair so I’m praying for a Lazarus like job with Douvan!

At the prices I’d be keen on Min and take my chance Altior won’t produce his very best.

The fact that Min didn’t run again that season after the Supreme gives some credence to the injury story....

High class chaser, Interrupted campaign. See Vautour.

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.

2m4 - Has a Ryanair entry - owner already has one for the CC. Could they?

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...

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.
...

I posted something similar at the time DO but good to know great minds think alike :cool:

I still hold the opinion that a unique set of circumstances in last years race meant Special Tiara got very lucky. When he bombed off in front all the others thought they’d let Douvan reel him in and...

Well…there is an excuse. It’s his first race of the season and it’s all about a different day.
