    Think she is taking advantage of the allowances while she can. I don't see her as a realistic Arkle candidate. Didn't do anything that she shouldnt have done today.

    Ferny Hollow anything but eyecatching today but battled really well which was good to note

    Not sure he is a horse that PM is suited too

    Like a horse who needs a more "natural" pilot
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    He battled well to come back after the last. The first two pulled away well from the third who is no mug.

    He made the other type of impression on me. The home straight is as quick as I'd want any beginners chaser to be going at. Thought it was a very good performance from a horse with so little experience. Jumped better as the race went on and when needed. I would fancy the first two to be placed in the Arkle.

    I wouldn't be in a hurry to back Couer Sublime next time out -he is on his third trainer and has known issues.

    Fair enough.

    Keep him right and guess we will see him twice before March

    Has Gearoid O'Loughlin quit training? Jones seemed to own most if not all of his horses and they seem to have been moved to other trainers.

    Was he effectively a private trainer for Jones.

    No great shock but Bob is out of this

    Blue Lord was an impressive winner of the first at Fairyhouse.

    Willie has some strength in depth in his novice chasing ranks.

    A one-two for Stattler and Fighter Allen in the second at Fairyhouse, after Blue Lord and El Barra doing the same in the first.

    Gaillaird Du Mesnil & Capadanno both run for Mullins at Naas on Thursday.

    Crosshill, Indiana Jones, Zoffanien and grade 3 winning mare Rosey's Hollow are among the opposition.

    I'm guessing that Galopin des Champs will run in the 2 mile 5 beginners at Leopardstown on the 28th.

    The Big Getaway won this race last year and Easy Game beat Allaho in 2019.
