Nothing very surprising in there which is a bit disappointing. Was hoping to see a couple of WPM newcomers for the intrigue.

The one i'd be tempted to add is Magic Daze for HDB, not sure if she'd go here.

Willie Mullins stable tour with RP, I picked out the below quotes as it pertains to the Mares Novice Hurdle;

Gauloise: stayed on quite well to be third at Fairyhouse, but I was disappointed. She'll take her chance at Chelt and hopefully she can step up on what she showed at Fairyhouse

Glens of Antrim: I know she was beaten at Naas but I thought she ran a cracker. She was 33L clear of third and I think coming back in trip will suit her. She's a lovely mare.

Reading between the lines, I'm inclined to think he fancies GOA more. Her form in the book when second to Stattler by itself is very strong (when jumping poorly). She's available at 33s with WH and B365. No mention in the stable tour of Hook Up however which I found strange.

Glens of Antrim entered for this today, still 33/1 with B365 (eventually got on via RP site) . I don't think the price will last too long IMO

Yep i'm on her. Had her more in mind for a handicap, but her potential is obvious. If she could brush up the hurdling, and as Ruby noted when mentioning Hook Up, there's only 2 hurdles in the final part of the race, so that'll help GOA too. For me she's suited to come back in trip rather than 2 1/2 also as she travels sweetly.

This is a really difficult race to pick. A few weeks ago I was thinking hat was for a lack of class, but the more attention I've given the race, the better I think it is. Royal Kahala, Hook Up, Sky Ace, Glens of Antrim are all horses i really like. No denying the potential with Gaulouise and Rosey's Hollow either. I'm looking forward to this one.

Been looking at this race in more detail and some of ratings

Think we all know it looks a poor race....or at least nothing as yet, looks particularly good and much of the form is at a similar level

Three horses carry penalties.....Gauloise, Roseys Hollow and Skyace (5 pounds)

If we look at best RPRs run by each or main horses...

Gauloise 136
Hook Up 135
Royal Kahala 140
Skyace 137
Roseys Hollow 137
Glancing Queen 137

Royal Kahala looks to just a bit better on her best running.....but may not go for the race

There are however a number of possible ones lurking further down at good prices worth looking at....again best RPRs shown and none have penalties...

Glens of Antrim 129 (already discussed and many of us will have backed)
Pont Aval 137 (Mullins)
Telmesomethinggirl 137 (HDB and Kenny A owned)
Lady Breffni 137 (Mullins - also in MP and Coral)

Not sure which of the above will run....but Mullins often throws several into this race without much experience....and still good prices NRNB

On ratings, this looks almost a lottery.......and value in backing outsiders

I would also recommend looking at exchange prices on the day. When Eglantine won a couple of years ago, i got some huge prices on day.......also note Mullins ran about 8 mostly with no experience (that dry year when he didn't want to run them).......so shows he will chance several

Why isn't she on the boat Willie So much ability and settled loads better there.

Really, really annoying! fancied her a lot for this - thought I had a great eachway ticket at 50/1

[darlojim]

Very frustrating not having her there, she looks as good as any of his entered aswell.
