Phoenix Way out according to twitter

Another Harry Fry horse not to make it....has he actually got any runners now this week?! Can only think he’s not A1 as was put up by Frank Berry at a preview evening as one of JPs better handicap fancies...

Think they're the ones he likes

Looks that way

Guessing they were the 6 day decs highlighted?

Double Clever is the last one in as BB has said

Tout Est Permis looked like a rejuvenated horse last year after joining Noel Meades yard following a string of disappointing performances after fences with mouse Morris, winning his first 3 starts over fences for the new yard & seeing his chase mark increase to 157 from 128.

Things didn’t go so well in graded company this season over fences & he reverted to hurdles in December of a mark of 122, coming 3 lengths 2nd behind the jam man (getting 6lb), who is now rated 15lb higher than when they met that day & ran well to come 2nd in the William fry at the DRF franking the form.

Tout Est Permis was raised 5lb on the back of that run & finished 4th next time out in the pertemps qualifier at the Leopardstown xmas festival, travelling beautifully throughout the race & staying on well to regain 4th, finishing 4 lengths behind the winner treacysenniscorthy who won the William Fry at the DRF on his next start.

Tout Est Permis also ran in the William fry, where the bare form of his finishing position 10 lengths 4th behind treacysenniscorthy & the jam man wouldn’t look too great, he was given what looked to be a very reserved ride by flannaghan compared to the 3 finishing in front of him, hopefully not wanting to ruin his mark with this race in mind.

He’s been given an extra 7lb by the handicapper on his Irish mark which seems a bit drastic but he wouldn’t of got in off his Irish mark & this should see him near the tail end of the weights; the handicapper also seems to value the form of the William fry & the Leopardstown qualifier, horses finishing in front of him in both races being given a fair few lb higher than their Irish marks (treacyenniscorthy 4lb higher, column of fire 7lb higher, Ronald pump 6lb higher). Even with his inflated mark from the British handicapper he’s still over a stone well in on his chase mark & looks to have been campaigned with this race as the goal this season.

Eoin Walsh gets 7 off his back. A top top claimer.

Yeah I put it on the MP thread but no reply. Didn't know much about him but thought O'Keefe would be up.

Win rate is impressive. If your happy with him, then it can only be a positive

Will give his rides a watch and be a keen observer tomorrow.

Got the obvious lot covered, but been backing Sunset Showdown at 33/1 & 40/1 paying 6 places. Think it could run a fair race for place money.

Do it. He's a real up and comer. Obviously his first time around Cheltenham so it'll be interesting to see him operate round there.

What rating for SDB after that! We knew The Storyteller had a lot in hand.

Gutted about that, the bend has probably won it for SDB but Geraghty is riding out of his skin
