That was it. It was Thomas Darby I recall, not Itchy Feet.

John durkan entries are out
Min, Melon, Chacun, Allaho and Samcro
Have to think Min will def run
And some of the others redirected to Cork
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Allaho let loose from the front would be something.
Had a small dart on Fakir D'oudairies for this at 33's which seems generous. Better ground will help and going to be stepped up in trip at some point.
Oh my lord look at the decs
Min 15/8
Battle... 7/2
Chris's Dream 7/2
Allaho 4/1
Samcro 9/2
Melon 10/1
Tornado Flyer 16/1
Tout Est Permis 25/1

Race and half that, I wouldn’t even want to call it. A sit back and enjoy race if there is such thing.
Can't wait for this race and I'm loathe to bet in it but have just taken Skybet's offer of 25/1 Allaho to win this and the Ryanair because he's 7/2 on Sunday and whatever wins that will be fav for the Ryanair Sunday night.

Patrick Mullins on Min.
David Mullins on Allaho
Brian Hayes on Melon
Hopefully Allaho needs it and drifts a tad
Should be a belter.
All comers, all grounds, all beaten!
This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.
I can't imagine any of Willie's will be hard fit. If pushed I'd go for Samcro now he's had a run. And if Battleoverdoyen wins and confirms form with Samcro I need to rethink the whole division!
Willie usually has Min ready enough for this.....though it looks a deal hotter than any of his previous Durkans.

Would Patrick riding put anyone off? Good chance he could break Mins back if it ends up a sprint finish.
Quite the opposite. As an amateur, Patrick's rides outside of bumpers and QR races are limited to a couple of dozen per year, which means they are handpicked.

Sums him up well to be fair

I much prefer Patrick in Bumpers or over hurdles. He never quite convinces me over fences. Fine when he easily has the best horse, but not a jockey for a battle over fences. I think he’s only had a couple of runners over fences all season so far too.
He gets to ride 21 pro a year. So when on one, it is well chosen
