Hell of a line up potentially, I've already done the antepost treble of Faugheen in this, Douvan in the Arkle and Vautour in the Gold Cup, I'll mix them up throughout the year, throwing Djakadam into the mix, and alternating the races

What was wrong with MTOYs this year ?

What was wrong with MTOYs this year ?

He sustained tendon injury early on in the campaign, October, not career threatening but a time only heal job, no surgery though

Just not in this race :P Should go to the arkle - would be mouth watering clash against Douvan

Nickys chase record of late

[KingSprinterSacre]

true but everyone was saying the same of ruby/mullins before this Cheltenham and that got smashed. all about having the correct ammo.

Nickys best chasers aren't right - terribly unlucky with the Sprinter, Simonsig, Finians etc. If your best are injured your record wont be great.

We don't know how MTOY will come back but I think nows the time to try chasing. He had his crack at the supreme and champion hurdle and fell short twice. I don't think he can beat faugheen so they may as well try fences which has been touted for him in the past.

Dont know if anything can beat Faugheen but MTOY profile a bit like Binos now ?

I think O'grady has already said Kitten Rock goes chasing but suppose he could be a JLT horse.

Mullins has all the aces.

Small interview with Willie Mullins shown on ATR this morning. He says there have been no issues so far, Douvan has put on some condition over the summer and has filled out and Faugheen looks to have even more condition than last year which is exciting. Gary O'Brien asked Willie about Douvans plans (mentioning the Arkle) but WPM said all is still to be decided.

Thanks the rowebot and a belated welcome.
