Willie almost a parody of himself there with the back and forth -
Sir Gerhard back to same price as a week ago before the fun and games of Wednesday night. DD also moved back to similar price. Wondering how much the forecast will be in the decision making.. not much rain forecast between now and the fez which I guess increases SG chances or coming here moreComment

No decisions will be made until its close enough for an accurate forecast and they can map out the likely oppositionComment

Agree FF. It's getting very,very boring now. Just let it all unfold.Comment

The price disparity on Adamantly Chosen is crazy.
He’s 200/1 NRNB with B365, trained by the master and it could be a weak race if it’s cuts up.
if he turned up I’d make him a 12-20/1 shot?
The price is just wrong IMO considering he’s a general 8/1 shot for the pipe off a mark of 142 and carrying 11st7lbs.
i’ve taken that as a speculative EW punt.

A bit of a left field thought but spurred by a similar question in the Supreme thread.
What are the chances both SG and DD both come here? At the start of the season Willie said Kilcruit to the Supreme and SG here. They are seemingly still very sweet on Kilcruit for the Supreme so what if they just stick to the original plan.
That would leave DD to go for which everyone they think would be best for the horse as opposed to needing a #1 in both races. I feel like the majority of us would say that is here aswell?Comment

I would have thought the majority of people would think DD is best suited to the Supreme and its only the fact that Willie has SG as well that has people even considering the Ballymore. He definitely looked like a 2 miler to me last time out.Originally posted by Hurricane fly View PostComment

Vibes seem to be that Patrick is riding Kilcruit, which to me means that Townend will be riding either Sir G or DD in the Supreme, so would say there's no chance they both come here. I'd definitely be more keen on DD if he ran in the Ballymore, given the stable seem very confident that he will settle in behind.Originally posted by Hurricane fly View PostComment

The only thing I have seen regarding Kilcruit and Patrick riding is that Patrick has written that would like to ride him. If it just that Patrick has declared his interest in riding (and nothing firmer) I suppose it wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility that Paul rides Kilcruit in the Supreme and both DD and SG end up here.
Now that would throw the cat amongst the pigeons!!
FWIW, i like many, think either Sir G or DD will end up in the Ballymore. That said, Kilcruit has been steadily backed over the last 3-4 weeks for the supreme (20's > 7's) so he is clearly moving in the right direction.
I just wonder if there will be a final twist in the tale!Comment

I know people are trying to cover all possibilities but there is no way Willie sends two unbeaten graded winners over 2m up to a trip neither have run at leaving the Supreme to Kilcruit, a maiden hurdle winner. Neither horse to my eye looks in need of a step up in trip, so stepping both up would be a ridiculous move that I just can't see Willie making. It just won't happen.Comment

I would also add the possibility of Sir G going supreme was slightly enhanced imo when willie mentioned the possibility of the champion hurdle for him next year.Comment

Rachel Blackmore in a preview night in Clonmel last night said her best chance of the week is Journey With Me.Comment
