    Had 1.5 win 28/1 for some interest when owner said it was a target. If they go Ces though that’s a very tough flat campaign she’s had. Hopefully they put her away after until the new year. One run over hurdles then on to the fez ok?

      Didn't those colours have the supreme favourite many years ago? That's my night trying to find the horse, it's going to big me.

      • The end part of the post-race interview with Tony Mullins for Racing TV is on this Twitter link.

        Unfinished business re Cheltenham Festival relates to some near misses a long-time ago.

          Absolutely, she is a class flat horse, and the owner wants to win at Cheltenham after he has had near misses in the past, then it’s likely she won’t need to be raced much over hurdles, just enough to be prepared to give her best on the big day (Hopefully).

          • Massive price drop for Princess Zoe, well done to all those on at 66/1, I was late to the party and got on the train at 16/1.

            Would be interested in the Ces and Mares NH double if this appears.

            Has anyone heard anything about the mare Politesse so far? Trained by L.Fowler so won’t get much attention, but I was very impressed with how this horse finished at Leopardstown this year behind Darling Daughter, I was at Leopardstown that day and she looked impressive how she went through the gears in the final furlong. From memory she picked off 4/5 horses in that period, though it was the last race on the card and the beer was flowing all day! Great day out and will be back for the Sunday again this year Covid permitting!

            The form is not half bad either with 4 runs to date with 2 wins, a 2nd and 3rd. She has won her maiden over hurdles in March just before lockdown and in her first race went off at 66/1 to finish 3 3/4 lengths behind Monkfish in 2nd and 6 1/4lengths behind the winner Longhouse Poet, so certainly not bad company.

            Currently priced at 50/1 for this and will be keeping an eye on entries, but if anyone has any connections or has any knowledge of this mare I would gladly like to hear.

              Have they mentioned the Cesarewitch as a target? She'll be going up in the ratings again after today so it would be some effort to win that off a mark of 106+

                Yes, CES in their plans. Claimer jock will negate penalty. Clever.

                  Just watched the interview. It sounds like Tony would prefer them to go to France - nice problem to have

                    Nicer break for France so I'd say yes. This is some story. Anyone know how much she cost ?

                      More money in France as well Lobos!

                          Glad I took the 50’s straight after her first win of two at the Galway festival 6 weeks back!!

                            No Attaglance i haven't heard anything on Politesse- presume as she hails from a very small yard she hasn't been asked.

                            Only a novice until the Hatton's Grace though, so she can be forgotten about for here.

                            Given who she is related too i'd say they might step her up in trip, but who knows. Will get harder when she has to face open company, but i like her a lot too.

                                Yep, she won with a fair bit in hand again. Not got to the bottom of her yet. No news re GI.
