    Cheers, disappointing that, guessing that’s on the back of his run at Punchestown. Been flicking through some early prices for the RSA and saw him at 20s but couldn’t find any news.

    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    I think Down Royal is going to come a week or two too soon for him. He's a Grade 1-winning novice chaser and was the apple of our eye before he got injured. We're still hopeful of getting him back but it could be just this side of Christmas before he's out. It’s nothing serious that’s delaying him, he just had a very small setback, but with a horse like him you can’t take any chances so we’ll give him all the time he needs

    As with Granger’s offer yesterday, if anybody has any particular questions around Skelton’s then post them up.
    Alcohol, because no good story ever started with "I was eating this salad..."

    I can't get behind him as a trainer just yet.

    Would much prefer Olly Murphy

    I’d be mildly interested in Spiritofthegames in the BetVictor (intended target). Consistent last year, goes well fresh and, as he thinks he’s improved (though rare for a stable tour to suggest a horse has regressed during the break), he’d be capable of going close off 150 if he has.

    Can't believe they are going to send Faugheen chasing at 11, I fear that is going to end in tears.

    Eventers are just coming into their prime at 11.

    Faugheen made his PTP debut in April 2012 and, including that, has had 23 races in seven and a half years covering less than 55 miles. If he's structurally sound he's got plenty of miles in the tank yet.

    I though Jared O'Sullivan was determined to keep Laurina over hurdles?
