Samcro was way too tentative at his fences today. The Elliot team thought they could just nurse him around and outstay them - and to be fair, it was going pretty well until the 2nd last. Hopefully Fakir's jumping will demonstrate to them that Samcro needs to take a cut at them. personally think that with a clear round the JLT is at his mercy.

I'd rather the better horse with a bigger engine that can make a mistake like alboum photo, than the brilliant jumper who needs absolutely everything to go right and hope the ones behind fall or blunder.https://scooby91horseracingtips.com/

Hopefully they'll meet again. Or laurina..
If he turns up on the day in the JLT. Will be the rare occasion I'll be having only 1 in the race.
And I'd be extremely hopeful of collecting.https://scooby91horseracingtips.com/

But I'd fancy samcro's chances.
Would be very willie like, to wait and choose the weakest race at the time, where imo it seemed clear cut that samcro would have won decisively today, if he makes it to the JLT. I think they'll fancy there chances of winning the arkle.
stick the likes of melon and tornado flyer in the JLT. And hope for the best.https://scooby91horseracingtips.com/

Laurina is Willie's no.1 chaser, as with Envoi & Gordon I think the rest work around her, she is also Jared's no.1 too, so will want the best result for her IMO.
I thought it was pretty clear myself, and I am ready to cash the JLT for Laurina but feel I can sneak a little profit from it after her next win.

RP Monday Jury
What was your verdict on the two big novice races at Fairyhouse on Sunday?
Noel Fehily, former jockey I was very impressed with Fakir D’Oudairies, who clearly loves jumping fences and looks a very good horse. You had to be impressed by Envoi Allen too. His bumper form was top drawer and he’s looked good in both starts over hurdles. I think he’ll be even better when he goes up in trip.
Micky Hammond, trainer Envoi Allen was impressive and looks a machine, he jumps well and it looks as though you can ride him whichever way you want. Fakir D’Oudairies jumped exceptionally well and has bags of scope for a four-year-old. He could be even better back at two miles. Over this trip it might have fallen Samcro’s way – his was a novicey mistake.
Patrick Mullins, jockey Samcro looks like he is back to his best. He was giving Fakir D’Oudairies 8lb and probably would have beaten him too. Envoi Allen looks like he could do anything he wants in life.
Amy Murphy, trainer Envoi Allen was a top bumper horse last year and showed he can also jump when making all in the Royal Bond for Cheveley Park Stud. He looks a natural for the Supreme. It would have been fascinating to see how Samcro would have fared in the Drinmore if he had stayed on his feet. Fakir D’Oudairies didn’t look to be stopping and may well have won anyway.
Kevin O'Malley, Tote spokesman Envoi Allen looks ideal for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle and a range of top races in the future. He stands out a mile and backs up the imposing frame where it matters. Runner-up Abacadabras is no slouch, either. Drinmore winner Fakir D’Oudairies jumps like a bunny and looks an Arkle type, while Samcro’s jumping is a concern.
