VDR got an easy lead in the Hardline race and hassled in the LR race. The form is muddling but I don't think there's much between them. Both stay further and both are progressing.

Hopefully if CE is as good as some of us hope then VDR will rightly go for the JLT anyway.

I think the 2 JP horses are the best for this. Le Richeburg the more solid option over DEfi Du SEuill. Be interesting race of they both run.

I'd ignore DEfi's run vs Lalor as in hindsight he looked spooked by the fences, as some horse can be. On the Blind side was similar, and last year River Wylde was another extreme example.

Some novices are wary first couple of times and don't show their true ability, and some are so wary they look terrible. Which is why novice chasers generally need a few runs ideally.

The disappointment for DDS was that it was at Cheltenham, but then in contrast, his Cheltenham record is actually superb... so you may be right. I hadn't considered that really.

He'd need to get a move on and get a race soon!

Cilaos Emery

Only Willie runner as well

[jack1092]

Here's hoping!

Doesn't look a tricky race if he jumps ok too!

[Scooby91]

Just to note, if he's entered and runs at fairyhouse at the weekend.

Last 2 winners saturnas and ballyoision.

That's a mighty coincidence that they've pushed ALL mullins and elliots other runners out in the betting, and cut cilaos emery just BEFORE entries are even out.

What a coincidence.

Think they will need some rain there for him to run, there’s hardly any forecast unfortunately

Ground probably didn't help Master Dino with his action. Can see why they are cautious with the ground like it is.

We’ve still a lot of novices that haven’t run yet due to the dry ground as there’s not a whole lot of form on offer. There’s only nine weeks left to go until Cheltenham and while they can go there without runs – it does muddy the water for everyone.

There’s no substitute that racing brings in terms of fitness and match practice, so hopefully something will give in the next few weeks.

We’ve loads of horses ready to go but there’s nothing we can do about the weather.

The longer it stays dry – the quicker the ground gets.

Naas was quicker than Leopardstown and Punchestown and Fairyhouse could be quicker again this weekend because it’s so mild"

Again this maybe a stupid question but why are no tracks taking the initiative and watering, you could set yourself as being the place for a fair few good horses making their debut

Hardly fair for good ground horses?
