BENIE DES DIEUX

Missed her intended assignment in the Hatton’s Grace due to a pulled muscle in the week running up to Fairyhouse. This three mile hurdle is the next logical target for her. She’s unbeaten for us when she’s stood up and it’s a record we’d be keen to preserve.
She has proven stamina is no issue to her when winning the French Champion Hurdle over three miles and a furlong and that small setback aside, we’ve had a good run with her. We’re very much looking forward to getting her back. She’ll probably follow a similar path to last term for the rest of the season.

As you’re mentioning returns i’ll reciprocate
BDD wins me £3k
Honeysuckle. £1k

Will I forgive H ?

Yes
Do not want another winner

A Grand return is special for the Fez. Excellent stuff. You and me will be made up.

I wasn’t massively stunned to see her not running today but does anyone know the official reason?

I did think until Mullins’ stable tour before the season began that she’d be going straight to Cheltenham again - Leaving her fresh for the end of the season again.

I don't, but it was deffinately the plan to run here, as per joe chambers previously.

Likely way off, but maybe they watched epatante. And thought let's go over shorter than 3m 1st time up

Interesting. Missed that with JC.

I’d be very tempted with her to go Stayers for her. In fact, if I was Mullins before the season began, I’d have looked at the race with a 50/50 split between that and the Mares and go Mares if it was a penalty kick. But with Honeysuckle doing what she has and their connections’ stubbornness to go here, why would Mullins and Ricci want to take her on when it could be just as tough in the Stayers or Champion Hurdle. At least those two races have more prestige than the Mares. And I have no doubt she’s good enough to put it up to Paisley Park.

That being said, I’m just talking aloud and she will probably end up in a head to head with Honeysuckle which, at the very least, will be a cracker.
