I've held on to mine for the time being too. When NRNB kicks in at the declarations reduce in size, his price is only going to get shorter and provide a better cash out nearer the time. I imagine he'll be entered in both and the decision made very late so it's unlikely (famous last words) that you'll be caught out any time soon. -
Longhouse Poet was last seen finishing third behind Latest Exhibition in Grade One company at Leopardstown’s Dublin Racing Festival, with You Raised Me Up occupying the same finishing position in the ultra-competitive Ladbrokes Hurdle on the same afternoon.
Brassil added: “I was very happy with Longhouse Poet’s last run — and all being well, he’ll go to Cheltenham. That’s the plan.
“He’s in the two races, the Ballymore and the Albert Bartlett. At the moment we’d be favouring the two-five (Ballymore), mainly because we think we have a better chance of getting soft ground on the Wednesday than the Friday.
“There’ll be lots of good horses up against him, but I hope he’s improving and that he’ll run a good race.Comment

Beating Champ with City Island is making Martin uncharacteristically optimistic about LP chances V Envoi Allen in this, IMO of course.Originally posted by Innoko View PostComment

To be fair to him he's just saying he'll run a good race. I'd say they've already accepted if he's to be a top prospect it'll be over fences.Originally posted by charlie View PostComment

Some impressive comments from Donoghue on Envoi Allen. I remember Codd saying Labaik was the best work horse they ever had...Comment

The Big Breakaway heading straight to Cheltenham. Currently 8-1 for the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle and as big as 14-1 for the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle.
I would fancy TBB to serve it up to Envoi AllenComment

EA a big winner for me but I do have a recurring nightmare as to how he goes up the hill ?Originally posted by charlie View PostThe Big Breakaway heading straight to Cheltenham. Currently 8-1 for the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle and as big as 14-1 for the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle.

Does he idle when in front or is he emptying ?Comment

Going straight to Cheltenham would be a worry both from the point of view of number and quality of races that he's been in.Originally posted by charlie View PostThe Big Breakaway heading straight to Cheltenham.

Be surprised if he's given too much of a hard time at the festival anyway, I have him down as one for the future, over fences.Originally posted by archie View Post
I've only left a small bet open on him, but not expecting much from it tbh.Comment

Just taken a look back at the finish of the bumper and he really does rally to the challenge of Blue Sari.Originally posted by Humble Pie View Post
I was proper gruelling ground last year tooComment

I really wouldn't worry about him emptying. He only does enough in his races, but he wins snaff like. I reckon he'll do what Samcro did but just leave it till after the last to get infront just to give us a sweatOriginally posted by Humble Pie View PostComment

Yes agree but 4.5 f more than bumper and last race a slight concern at Naas
