    You should always listen to Uncle Spectre!
    I can't be bothered to check what what my opinion was back then...

    Hard enough to work it out now

      Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.

      • Clarence House Chase at Ascot (Jan 22) ‘the plan’ for Energumene, says Willie Mullins. “The plan is the Clarence House at the moment. We said we’d sidestep Christmas and go there. All is good with him.”

            Too close to Festival according to Hendo and not going CH either as too soon.

              Surely not! Altior went to the GS 3 times and Sprinter once. Not like he’ll have a hard race against Sceaux Royal and Hitman.

              Thats just the 3 runs a season for Shishkin then. Desert Orchid, QM and Celebration Chase, just what racing fans like…

                Pretty sure he will be in one or the other, although the gap between his last race did not seem to bother him.
                Always a racecourse gallop that Hendo likes as an option.

                  'There is set to be another outing before Cheltenham, although Henderson believes Ascot may arrive too early and equally feels Newbury's Game Spirit Chase could come too close to Cheltenham.'

                    The Game Spirit is a week after the DRF I think and 5/6 weeks before the Queen Mother.
                    I do wonder what planet Hendo lives on sometimes…

                    • 2 Mile G1 at Dublin Racing Festival perhaps?

                            He was rambling on tv
                            neither was ruled out
                            but he was just being Henderson
                            moaning that the races weren’t ideally placed.

                              Yep I heard that too I just didn’t interpret it the quite the same as some. I came away thinking plans were up in the air and nothing had been ruled in and nothing ruled out. I for one am happy to wait and see.

                              • I'm not worried either way. He could go straight to the CC if need be. I expect him to find a prep race somewhere though.
