Very good point TKP. Mullins to shuffle the pack. -

He’s knows what they are capable off behind the scenes and a few horses may find their training regimes change next weekOriginally posted by Lobos View PostComment

This could be another potential race for Jungle Boogie if Mullins copies the Energumene way of going chasing after one hurdles run. Even moreso in light of the James du Berlais news. I know I'm unlikely to get much support on this one but I'll certainly be tracking Jungle Boogie and comparing with the race diaries etc.Comment

Keep banging those jungle drums Lbur.Comment

Call me crazy, but I think Appreciate It will end up here, and Ferny will go to the Arkle.
(Not that crazy when you can only get 7/1 and it hasn't jumped a fence yet)
The same way I think Kilkruit will run in the supreme and Sir gerhard will run in the ballymore.
Although Appreciate It destroyed everything it faced last season, I think his Supreme win was very flattering as he faced nothing on the day. I think the extended trip will help, and he'll win it in similar style to allaho winning last year's Ryan Air, a relentless gallop.

Not crazy at all Jamie. All 4 scenarios could happen. Don't think anyone at this stage would put their house on a target for those 4. Could turn out to be a sensible Yankee.Comment

Not crazy Jamie by any means.
I suspect however they’ll keep Appreciate It to 2 miles until he loses. And whilst it’s a much more minor point Ferny did beat Bob last year (albeit Bob improved and Ferny’s had a year out) so that might be in the back of their minds…Comment

I think this is exactly the way they'll be thinking. Logic usually prevails until events prove otherwise.Originally posted by OscarWhisky View PostLuck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.Comment

I emailed Willie Mullins last night (more in hope than expectation) and his team responded that Jungle Boogie is well and they are looking at going novice chasing this year.Originally posted by Lobos View PostComment

Not heard any updates, but wondered the same as the owners do seem to like a runner here. He doesn't mention Blue Lord but in Daryl Jacobs horses to follow piece for Sporting Life he mentions that Fred is going chasing and potentially going up to the mid distance. Second on the list of horses discusses so must quite like him:Originally posted by isitmarchyet View Post
"Fred
He had a little bit of an injury at the end of last year. He's come back this year really well. I worked him this morning and was very happy with him; his first piece of work. He probably won't be out for about three, three and a half weeks. We're going to go chasing with him this year and I think he could be quite exciting. He's a lovely athletic jumper and very much looking forward to hopefully having a good season with him. We might start him off over two but I think he's definitely two and a half plus."

Not sure anything will trouble Bob out of that.Comment

Grand Paradis seemed to come there on the bridle and seemed to just blow up. After that he was never catching the winner. Looked a decent pace they went as well.
Had jumped well until he pecked on landing. Not ideal but won’t right him off after that.Comment
