What happens then if this ends up being Appreciate It v Bob Olinger?! I'm Team Bob but i'd have to acknowledge that AI put in the more professional performance at this years festival, Bob still had a green look to him, which can be taken either way I suppose.
With news Ferny and AI likely to go going chasing. If Fernys well being is ok, and he takes to fences I think he will go arkle.
This leaves AI for marsh, but think there every possibility mullins would want to avoid Bob, and may go for the least competitive race with his best novice chaser> AI may go Festival Novice Chase. Mullins may run other novice chasers here such as GDM, JDB or even GDC. He’s stacked with NC
This is a longshot, but with monkfish injured and alboum on the decline, Allaho suspect stayer, and his army of NC. If AI takes to fences well, and with him being in his prime at 8, mullins may look and chance the GC! This isn’t mullins I know, but he doesn’t really have anything for GC and a novice has won before

I'd side with Bob Olinger every time. Whilst nobody can deny Appreciate It was good, I feel his Supreme victory was obscured by the fact is was a smaller than usual field and not a great one at that. I thought the Ballymore field was a lot classier altogether and tied in with Bob's run against Ferny Hollow, if they both take to chasing like you'd expect, I think Bob Olinger would win reasonably comfortably.
Wheres the best place for him, somewhere like Newbury, or Donny?
Yeah both them would be ideal, can open the legs and long straights too. Only my opinion but he doesn't appear nimble around tight bends or a another gear on a short run. Do really like the horse despite being undecided on him early last year. Should be mixing it with the G1 boys plenty of ability albeit looks in the "trip less" intermediate range so potentially hard to place.
Have a watch of the youtube video that Winging the last has just put up in the stable tours. I'm definitely more positive that we'll see My Drogo at Cheltenham in March.
Bob Olinger ️The plan is to find a beginners' chase for him over the next few weeks, probably over two and a half miles, & take it from there. I'd imagine we will stick to two and a half miles, but we'll play it by ear and see how he gets on. you'd have to say he's very exciting
