Thanks Billy.

Anyone have the Irish field article? Willie interviewed with updates on Faugheen and Min. Both back in training in the next 2 weeks

[billymag]

Yes but unfortunately i wont let me copy and paste, basically they are both back next two weeks and they will start building up to the start of the season. Faughenn was doing fast work for a month b4 they let him off for the summer hols.

Hopefully Faugheen doesn't come back too big then and they can have a bit of luck with him. Been robbed of what should have been his best couple of years.

REALLY looking forward to the return of Min. I think he would have given Altior his fill of it in that arkle.

Just watched Jenkins run at Ffos Las. Off the bridle at 1/4. 100/1 to line up in the CH

Daphne likely to line up in the mares novice race? 12/1? Has she got new owners now, or am I gettin confused?

Yeah i'd imagine so. I had hoped she may have been a slightly forgotten horse having not appeared at the major Spring festivals and a tad bigger than 12's. Not big enough to get involved in this early but it'll be interesting to hear how she develops over the summer.
I haven't heard any change on ownership Kev.

Absolutely KSS. The champion hurdle division could really do with him coming back (as much as I have many bets already involving Buveur D'air). I always remember Willie Mullins describing the horse as "2 planks of wood" (or something similar?!). That constitution and like you say his size would be a concern on his comeback but fantastic to hear some news about him at least.

On Min - I think he certainly would have given Altior something to think about in the Arkle that day, though Altiors Newbury and Sandown performances either side of that win were huge. Kev mentioned a while back to me that 12/1 EW for the CC - and it could be a fantastic bet if all signs are good on the injury front. I can't see them stepping up Min in trip (unlike Douvan who has that option) so target looks pretty assured

jenkins could be very interesting for a handicap off 137 the Greatwood could be perfect.

I joke about the 100/1 for the CH but I do think he has a race in him somewhere down the line. I look back at his debut hurdles win at Newbury and the beating of Captain Forez and Pingshou shouldn't be sniffed at. The kind of horse though (Jenkins) who I could also see line up in all the big handicaps through a season and run well picking up the places but never getting his head in front.

[Kevloaf]

£55 in free bets put in to boring singles today... will be using these in the Championship races exactly the same as last year... to try and get an "all green" scenario.... although this year I am going to be laying as well.

£20 Min at 12/1 CC
£20 Douvan at 3/1 CC
£15 Thistlecrack 5/1 GC
