Some comments from Mullins on BlueLord after the race:
I was very happy with that, he was just too keen and that's something we need to sort out. It was a good performance from the winner too. We might change tactics with him over that trip. He was very keen but he appeared to stay.”
I thought he would of said back to 2 miles but also could it be because he wants Appreciate It has his Number 1 in that race and have more towards the Ballymore and AB? Plenty of different owners mind.
Henry pretty much ruled out AB I believe before todays race, kind of narrowed it down to Supreme or Ballymore as he said BO had a good turn of speed. Can't see them moving away from Ballymore personally.
“He’s got a lot of pace as well, though. We’ll probably enter him for the three novice hurdles at Cheltenham and see nearer the time, but in my mind it will be either the Supreme or the Ballymore, as opposed to the Albert Bartlett."
I hadn’t ever really considered the supreme for BO and after 2 wins at 2mile4 it doesn’t seem likely...please someone just reiterate that haha I can’t handle an Appreciate It Part Deux
BO will have too much toe for Brave. The likely better ground will only exaggerate that. Moving forward, Brave could be a beast over fences as it looks like he will be a slick jumper to me.
I'd say going for the supreme seems unlikely at this stage. You'd want to see him run over 2 miles at least once and I can't see them having an other outing now before March. Maybe if the going is real testing they could switch if we searching for a reason. The more hurdles they jump the better too, he jumps so well.

Blackmore said: "He's always shown us a lot at home and I think today was the stamp of the kind of horse he is for the future. I'm delighted with him.
"I wanted to ride a straightforward enough race on him. He's a simple horse to ride in that sense and I was happy most of the way.
"He jumped better today in the latter half of the race. The jump is there if you really ask him.
"He quickened up well and he seems to tick a lot of boxes."
The leading rider believes Bob Olinger could be an even better horse once he has his attentions switched to the larger obstacles, adding: "I don't think he's a real, sharp Champion Hurdle horse in the making. Two and a half (miles) is ideal, but I wouldn't rule out two either.
"For the future he's probably going to be one for longer trips. He's won a point-to-point and looks one for fences in the future.
"I'm delighted for Brian Acheson and Robcour (owners) who are very supportive of the game and to get a Grade One winner is brilliant.
