Arguably a tougher assignment than what Envoi Allen had to face in last years renewal, IMO.

Maybe reading into it too much as Mullins only runner in the lawlors, but Townend booked on board Blue Lord, any significance? Added 20/1. I know as mentioned and met with support with tipsters with platform putting up Gailard Du Mesnil for here, but wouldn't be bad having another arrow for a Willie horse!
Has had a few run here who did drop back to 2 and ran in supreme in the past though, elixar last year and Bellshill who won it few years back but disappointing in supreme albeit.
speculation though that last year may have been to avoid Envoi! (Although did send TBG to Ballynore) Next destination won here and ran decent race in Ballymore if I recall.Last edited by Big Bucks; 8 January 2021, 11:41 AM.

If Bob Olinger can't put him away then I will be extremely disappointed. I may even quit
