He said: “There’s no point in saying we were happy enough with how she ran because we weren’t. She’s a mare that seems to improve when she gets a bit of sun on her back in the spring.
“You could ask ‘is that run at Newbury as good as she is?’. I hope it’s not.
“Nicky Henderson’s horse (On The Blind Side) finished second and we were beaten by him in a photo-finish in Cheltenham last November, so on a line through him I didn’t think we ran our race.
“She’s entered in Leopardstown over Christmas. We’ll make our minds up closer to time, but that would be the plan at the moment.”
Dont know what to make of Gentlemansgame atm, 2 weeks ago mouse mentioned he'd be starting chasing over 2m4f over xmas and now i see he's got an entry for the 3m grade 1 hurdle at leopardstown along with a stayers entry...33s availabe with uni...am i missing something as i had him going chasing early doors?

On the Blind Side gave Mrs Milner 15lb when they met last November, but back to mares 7lb allowance at Newbury latest. More to find than he suggests. Just convinced myself to go .5pt ew OTBS @ 40/1 with b365
I really don't get the hype around Buzz. The furthest he's ever run is 2m 4f and he had every chance and got beat by another potential non Stayer in Abacadabras. Even Hendo has reservations re him running in a Stayers(As stated by DJ on Upping the Ante) as he thinks he is too pacey. I have to agree. For me he's a ridiculous price for a horse that has never gone anywhere near the Stayers distance. He'll be found out at Ascot next week.
Hendo said they were targeting the Stayers and would work a plan back from that.
Or did I dream that ?
He did say that but DJ spent time at his stable and he said he had reservations re him being too pacey for a Stayers. It's on one of the Upping the Ante podcasts. I agree with him. He is not a Stayer imo.

Yeah he's a shocking price for me
Priced up like he's already won the long walk
He doesnt run like a stayers hurdle horse, outspeeded song for someone the last day
At this stage id prefer the chances of sporting john, be interesting to see if he can win again tomorrow and throw his hat into the ring
But if you asked hobbs I wonder if he'd think sporting John is anywhere near as good as thyme hill
Is all OK with Thyme Hill since his stupid venture to France ? Not heard anything. Has he been entered up anywhere? Still can't believe they were so greedy as to mess his whole season up.
