    No, but then it's only been run 3 times!

    My Way De Solzen was considered for it last year but went for the Arkle instead. He'd have gone very close.

    Was looking at it as a festival race at the best distance for Skys the Limit but he probably is not good enough and does not have the experience.
    Fairyhouse and Easter come the week after Cheltenham and the week before Aintree in 2008 ---this could dilute the Irish challenge in the Cotswolds. Plenty of Euros to be won at Fairyhouse's Easter meeting.

    Eric,
    Cheltenham is what it matters and if you have a top class horse in Ireland he will go to Cheltenham and then Aintree or Punchestown.
