    She just doesn't look good enough to trouble the judge in any race at the fez.

        Think original plan was to go fairyhouse the weekend after, but for whatever reason they didn’t, and that decision was vindicated so it just seems an odd thing to say given how things panned out last year. You could understand it had elimay beaten colreevy in the race.

              Also entered is Marie’s Rock. I had her ear marked for the coral cup this year .....they’ve had all sorts of challenges with her but held her in very high regard. Lto we saw a sign that she is heading back in the right direction achieving an rpr of 142 without getting out of second gear (for anyone that hasn’t seen the race I recommend taking a look)If she is properly back on track there could easily be a fair chunk more upside in her and she is 33 with sky bet for this.

                      Thanks QZY...my guess would be 140-142 on line with the rpr and early rating and I genuinely believe she has scope to go a chunk higher yet. My biggest concern is I am far from convinced she is the right kind of ride for nico. I think she needs a very quiet rider so she can fall asleep at the back and just ease into a race then press the button and use her turn of foot. nico has a tendency to squeeze the reins and niggle at horses, I think she needs to be left alone and nursed along but connections will know better than me.

                      • He has won on her 3 times . Lanzarote is worth 100K this year so worth bearing in mind. She came back this year in a "different horse (Nicky)" after a disappointing year, and a lot more relaxed. Hopefully she has more in the tank

                        • qzy Really interesting. Thanks for the info. Any chance she goes to the Mares Hurdle? Or is Lanzarotte or Coral Cup the choice?

                                Yes I know he has ....I probably unfairly saw that as a neutral I assumed she had a fair bit had in hand each time and I am talking when it’s a matter of fine margins. But I accept I’m likely wrong. It was apparent by the way she travelled lto that she has got her spark back. Do you know if she were to run a big race nto would they be looking at the mares hurdle. I know she has listed black type but grade 1 black type would look good on her cv
