Not that any of us take too much stock in Ricci/Mullins pre festival statements of intent, but by that Min clearly no.1 and Douvan his 'reserve'..... At this stage anyway

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

He continues to thrive, vet is very happy PM also is happy and Nicky Henderson is having heart palpitations..looking more like we will see Douvan V Altior afterall.
Formely Fist of Fury
Re Douvan, a local racing fan put it best when he suggested we try purchase Douvan off Ricci if lucky enough to win lotto/Euromillions.
If he agrees to sell we will know the horse is finished.!
Just as a follow up to this, I was watching the DRF races again tonight and found it extremely noteworthy that the morning of the 2m chase race that Ordinary World was 40/1 and was hammered in the betting into 10/1 (Note there was only 7 runners so only 2 places!) before the off, clear 3rd fav behind Min & Yorkhill.
However, the Douvan factor is the spanner in the works for this as a viable EW QMCC proposition now, as if he and Min both line up (Still has to be unlikely?) along with Altior, the first 3 places are almost a given. Food for thought........
Douvan either wins or bombs as I see it
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Is there a market about whether Douvan makes the Cheltenham Festival?

Yes, and you get bonus points if Ruby is back in time to ride it.
if Douvan lines up, hopefully Townend fares better on Mon than Xmas

Twitter reporting that Douvan's chances of making the Champion Chase now considerably better than 50-50 according to Mullins
Alcohol, because no good story ever started with "I was eating this salad..."
Douvan at this morning's press conference
Great Field will not run in the QMCC I'm afraid Grass.
But that is straight from Mullins so...

Douvan has four legs, that's encouraging.
Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......
His fore legs are fine it;s his back ones tat are the worry
VC quoting 2-1 he runs in their "#Priceitup - Cheltenham Festival Specials" https://www.betvictor.com/en-gb/spor...0/PE/0/0/0/0/0
edit - Just glancing through their prices and someone's taking the micky requesting a price on Charlie Mann to train a winner. VC quote 100-1. Should be a million

Won't make a difference for this or the Ryanair, but Fox Norton out for the season.

If both WPM horses make it and you are Ruby- who do you ride?
