hampion Trainer Mullins later quipped “the first half of Luke's plan has gone to plan anyway!”

He added “I thought he was very impressive what he did, especially after his mistake at the third last. What he did in between the third last and the last was what impressed me.

“It's very hard for any horse to be impressive, visually, on that ground and in that weather.

“I'd imagine that might mean he goes to the Champion Hurdle now.

“It was debated what chance would he have in the Champion Chase and what chance might he have in the Champion Hurdle.

“It was decided then that we'd run today, see what happens and that would make up our mind.

“We keep coming back to saying that he has as much of a chance in the Champion Hurdle as he has in the Champion Chase. That's the reasoning behind where we are going.”

Id say he definitely has more chance in this race than the QMCC.

That all makes sense for Cilaos Emery.

8/1 best price.

I'm not sure I'd back him at that price, maybe I would.

Sure one of you lot may know but wasnt CE backed of the boards on the lead up to the Arkle last year?

Not sure if he was injured but CE didnt make line up for whatever reason.certainly has ability and wouldnt be the biggest shock if he was to be competitive here.

Dont remind us Beast!

I've got little doubt he'd have won the Arkle if he'd have lined up...

That form wouldn't have been franked though, and that wouldn't make me get frisky either.




Everything about Cilaos Emery is just, alright.

Alright might be good enough?

If the mare (epatante) ends up not being special, then alright is definitely good enough.

Bit annoyed about him going here as I want a dart alongside CPS for the QMCC

Even more ridiculous is I was too lazy to update my card details on Ladbrokes so didn’t get on the 14/1, 8.5/1 with the boost on WH

Anyone hear Willie saying Sharjah might be diverted to County Hurdle or Coral Cup because of preferable ground later on in the week? I thought that's what he said. Sharjah's last run was very disappointing and maybe it makes sense.

No but I'd be interested in that quote.
Would love that.

Ì think he said it in his interview with Garry O'Brien after the Cilous Emery race - Willie confirmed Cilous will be supplemented and Gary pressed him if that would be the only one supplemented (thinking of Benie of course) and Willie said to his knowledge yes. After that he asked hin about Sharjah and Aramon for Champion Hurdle.

To say I'm desperate to hear this too would be an understatement....
