    Yup. https://twitter.com/TheRacingJosh/st...75112230805504

    Oh well, at least we know now!

    • Happy to finally have it confirmed. Although, still Willie Mullins so...

      I'd be taking him on myself if he's odds on, which he surely will be. Definitely the most likely winner sure, but he has plenty of question marks over that trip. If Rachel makes it a proper stamina test on Journey With Me then I can see him gassing coming up the hill. Bit of rain would probably play into JWMs favour aswell. Not sure what will front run for it to be a proper stamina test, likely to be JWM himself?

        8/11 antepost with B365. If he romps home then fair enough, but can't be having that!

          Agreed. Him and JWM should definitely be closer together...

          Gotta be some each way value in behind too, although not quite sure where

          • I'd Kevin Keegan 'love it' if this all backfired and SG got turned over here.

              • He's a certainty.

                • So we're looking at:

                  Sir Gerhard - Townend
                  Journey With Me - Blackmore
                  Three Stripe Life - Kennedy/Russell
                  Stage Star - Cobden
                  Whatdeawant - O'Keefe
                  I Am Maximum - Nico
                  Scarface - Powell.

                  Presumably Classic Getaway will now go Bartlett with Sir Gerhard here,

                  Haxo and Hemlock possible, but will be rags.

                    Either one of them would have been, I believe.

                        Journey With Me is the only one that meets the trends... The rest will all be going fairly strongly against it. Might be happy to leave him as my only dart now, who knew that De Bromhead could turn out to be right all along

                          On the contrary, Kevin said on the Sunday, it's still Saturday, he also noted it in the Supreme thread, I'm in the Ballymore thread No rules broken

                            You've just given the green light for 7 hours 10 mins of bemoaning and whinging.
                            Crack on lads, get it all out.
                            You'll feel better in the morning.

                              I don't give green lights.

                              We haven't had final declarations yet. Just stating a fact

                                Agree totally. He's a 2miler . Pushed into Ballymore because Mullins has nothing else for it and PT can't ride them both in the Supreme. From that we know DD is the better Supreme horse and that SG draws the short straw. He's NOT a odds on shot in any shape or form. Never been beyond 2 miles under rules and looks all speed. He'll get beat imo. I did back him in a couple of Ballymore doubles when word was he might go there but regret it now. For me, JWM is the winner. I think he will lead all the way and win as he likes in a poor renewal.
