fair price, just.

I’ve taken this as it’s almost a beat price risk free bet. If he runs & wins red mills well & is subsequently added, no way he goes off double figures as Mullins No1. He flops or is not entered then money back. Happy to tie up stake on this for 5 weeks personally

I can’t get more than pence on with Lads / Coral but that’s more than fair - worth a monkey of anyone’s money NRNB

Can we avoid recommending stakes please.
One mans fiver is another mans million and all that...

Winning that race wouldn't make him Mullins No1 for this. He's a 33/1+ shot masquerading at shorter. Because hes trained by willie.

Hes a low to mid 150s hurdler.

165 rated chaser though.
There's a lot of horses masquerading in this race.

Apologies, my bad - appreciate everyone has different staking plans. Was more tongue in cheek / throwaway phrase than anything...

I think he’ll end up Willies No1 personally if he is prepared to supplement. There’s a strong case he’s improved since his last hurdles run & an improving 150+ hurdler is exactly what is required to my eye this year. Personally, more than happy to have him in the book at 12s NRNB

The "prepared to supplement" is an interesting argument regarding Mullins. A couple of firms have refused to price up Stormy Ireland despite requests to (bar Hills) yet they've all got Cilaos Emery priced and Benie priced for this with all 3 needing Supplementing if I'm correct. Gets the thoughts wondering why... esp. given Cilaos hasn't run in a hurdle race since Dec 17.

He's arguably unexposed as a 2 mile hurdler, only 6 runs and all at aged 5 or under.

Without the allowances for the mares, Sharjah is probably top rated, but he runs one race as a 160 horse and then the next at 150.
The rest are all low to mid 150's horses as well.
Obviously Supasundae (late for the party) has a high rating too.

Apart from the year off the track, he's actually got a similar profile to the last 150's rated horse to win the Champion, Buveur Dai'r. But in his favour he's shown far more over fences in comparison, in terms of his class at this stage.
