January is being muted

Hoping Colreevy can put herself right in the picture, but can't help but feel we won't see the best of her until she goes up in trip.

Piece from Mark Howard on Sporting Life with an interesting little comment at the end:

Earlier in the week, Willie Mullins unleashed another potentially top notch mare at Tramore on Tuesday. Dolcita raced twice in France for Guillaume Macaire before being bought during the summer on behalf of owner Jared Sullivan.

The Saint Des Saints filly made her Irish debut in the same mares’ maiden hurdle which stablemate Laurina had triumphed in two years earlier. Despite the inclement weather conditions, the four year old proved a class apart from her rivals winning hard held by eleven lengths. The Grade 3 Solerina Mares’ Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse in late January was nominated as her next target before she is presumably aimed at the Dawn Run Mares’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.

Mullins has won all four renewals of that Grade 2 event, including with the aforementioned Laurina in 2018. Speaking to Dolcita’s owner during the summer, he stated that her former trainer was keen to keep hold of her. I think we now know why.

Spoke to Mark in the summer and he was keen on her then, think he's already pinned his colours to her, he has a good relationship with Jared so take note of horses in their colours he gives a nice mention to.

When do you think we will see Lamarckise? No entries over Christmas. I hope all is on track but a Christmas entry would have been reassuring. Do people think she compares favourably to Dolcita?

May even look at a single run in a bonus race. To really take the piss.

Interesting line from Mark Howard when talking about Dolcita - see Lamarckise piece.

With compatriots Gypsy Island and Lamarckise sidelined due to injury, she looks set to play a leading role next March.
