In Ruby’s latest Racing TV column it very much sounds like Klassical Dream will come here

I’d say both will run where Willie thinks they have the best chance of winning. If the weather stays as dry as it is, that would probably suit Aramon in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle and make it a bit sharp for Klassical Dream who could then step up in trip, but I can’t see it being genuinely good ground on the Tuesday of the Festival.Originally posted by FaugheenTheMachine View Post
I would say Aramon is probably a bit quicker and Klassical Dream stays a bit better, but Klassical Dream improved an awful lot from his maiden hurdle at Leopardstown.
To be fair, Aramon improved a good bit from the Royal Bond to win his Grade One at Christmas and both are improving horses.
They both look really well, both worked this morning and they are in good form. As to where they go, I’d say that decision is a bit away from being made if I know Willie!Comment

Ruby hasn't a clue where he's going!Comment

Let's see what vibes come out from the tour tomorrow...Comment

If you read it properly, and listen to the TV interview, he says if it's genuine good ground, Klassical Dream is likely to step up... but he doesn't think it'd be genuine good ground.
Obviously I'd advise the NRNB double as mentioned previously... but don't go over board. Decision far from made and he does NOT suggest KD is definitely running hereComment

I misread it as he would step up if not good ground. Never mindOriginally posted by Kevloaf View Post
Sounds like Allaho isn't coming hereComment

I didn't read it as damning as some seem to think in that KD comes here, far from it in fact.
Rarely on the 'quick' side of good on the first day.Comment

They'll be watering good ground... so I can't see any circumstance where it's 100% ground related.Originally posted by ComplyOrDie View Post
I don't think Ruby will mind being on the stayer of the two in a Supreme.Comment

What makes you think that Bobby? That Ruby didn’t mention him?Comment

Remember Ruby saying about the ground on this first day with regards to Laurina saying he’s read the cheltenham report and says after reading that report there is no way the ground will be on the quick side on the first day. Due to safety of the horses they will not allow the ground to be quick.Originally posted by Kevloaf View PostComment

Same article
You could drop him back in trip to help him settle better, but if you dropped back in trip in the Ballymore you’d probably also need more speed. Slow horses don’t tend to win the Ballymore as there is a marked increase in pace down the hill and something has to quicken off the bend to win it.
He won’t have to be declared until two weeks on Monday, so we have 20 days to make a decision.Comment

I thought it was a good performance from Allaho in the Grade Three Novice Hurdle at Clonmel last week.Originally posted by sprintersacren View Post
We were very disappointed with him at Christmas in the bumper at Leopardstown where he just didn’t show any speed. He just kept galloping and went an awful long way to pull up, but that was no good as far as the bumper was concerned!
He did race in my hands a bit but jumped well on the whole last week and stayed well. They were all maidens or winners of one at Clonmel, no horses had racked up a sequence or anything like that, and the Dublin Racing Festival with the Grade One novice hurdles took horses away from the race but it was still a good performance.
