    Wonder Who WM is talking about here?
    8.48 mins. Ruby says Draconien will make a cracking novice chaser and even mentions him in the same breath as footpad (albeit saying he might not be the the next footpad but has all the credentials to be)

    • Took a position on this race early doors with a fair few pennies and even more free bets tied up on Kalashnikov, Mengli Khan, Paloma Blue and Vision Des Flos (mostly any race). Personally not interested in backing the potential Mullins dart at this race just yet, bit too much uncertainty over who the number 1 will be between Getabird, Draconian and CE.

        Maybe it's Cilaos Emery and they're keeping it up their sleeve like they did with Footpad
        I like the sound of this Plot ... .....

        • Draconien is the one Willie has said 'could be in the Footpad league'.

                  • Willie is being very bullish on a lot of horses of late, hard to spot the right one

                      I don't think he is being overly bullish about a lot of horses, although people interpret 'bullish' differently. That being said, how else can you interpret likening a novice chaser to being potentially in the same league as Footpad, given what Footpad has gone onto to achieve.

                      • Cheers Marty, no arguing with that, will certainly be getting some free bets (at least) on him this weekend...although seeing that PP are still top price means I won't be going too crazy

                        • Bit of a worry that Draconien hasn't ran on good ground as of yet, not sure if thats just the way last season panned out or was by design.

                            I wouldn't worry. I'm sure he'll run faster on it.

                            • Added 2 points on Claimtakinforgan at 33s on 365, a price that just felt too high to me. Nicky's video today suggests he isn't too keen on anything but the Arkle for him and I was a fan of his last year just think he needs better ground, so be interesting to see him on that over fences today!

                                Did nothing wrong there, slight pitch on landing at the last seemed to be the only error but that may have been good for him. Doesn’t have me racing to back him but would be happy enough if I had the ticket
