    This Cap Soleil looks a very decent mare. She'd be shorter than 14/1 for the Mares' Novice in March if she was trained by WPM.

    Very nice performance there at Newbury.

    You're right, too early for me to get involved in a race where heaven knows what Mullins, Elliott and even tricky Nicky will release but having hesitated she's a general 8/1 shot now.

    Benie Des Dieux starts off in Carlisle of all places on Sunday

    She is in the notebook a long time now waiting for her to appear again

    so she was.

    few quotes from willie

    "After she'd won her first race for us, we did a couple of pieces of work and I texted Rich to say she was like 'Benie Des Douvan' - that was the vibe she was giving us. I tried to keep that under wraps, though!"When she won last time I told David (Mullins) to not leave Cheltenham behind, win if you can but don't give her a hard race, and that's what he did.
    "Ruby was brilliant on her but she only just got home. She really needs a trip and will go way back up in trip and back over fences now.
    "She really could be anything, I think a lot of her.

    i fear we will never find out how truly good AJ is

    How did she look in the parade ring fellows on track?

    Looks like she might drop in trip for the Dublin racing festival

    If samcro wins tomorrow, it's highly unlikely I'd imagine though

    She looked very good indeed, definitely the pick. Shiny coat, alert head, defined muscle structure, good walk, athletic.
