[Istabraq]

Anyone doing any odds on "X" amount of mares to win at the Fez!

Lobos is, over/under 24.5....

Looks like she needs a fence. Decent from the winner though.

She looked miles bigger than the rest of the field. Harry wasn't hard on her but she may be one of those horses that are decent bumper horses, only average over hurdles but then go on to excel over fences (Third Time Lucki). Get your bets on for the 2023 Arkle

Bellatior holds an entry at Punchestown on Monday, plus a couple of others for Gordon, and also Willie has a few entered at this stage also, Hermine, who is not priced up could be interesting of his lot, IMO.

Now Bellatior’s declared for the bumper at Naas on Saturday has anyone seen anything to suggest if the plan is to stay in bumpers or go novice hurdling?

I've seen nothing. Was tempted to back her for the bumper for small stakes, but I'm hoping it's one run in a bumper then straight over hurdles.

Look who won the race back in 2016. Will that be significant? American Mike will surely be their number one but I wouldn't rule out the bumper at this stage.

Elliott isn't averse to running a mare in the bumper, and when I saw her entry confirmed I took the 50/1 with 365.

There's little risk in my mind given none of the powerful stables have anything running in that race, and if necessary at 50/1 getting out would be easy too. The only problem could be Elliott coming out after the race and saying she goes over hurdles. I doubt that very much by the way.

Same owners have Happy D’ex which Gordon has said stays in bumpers in stable tours - will they want 2 in the bumper!

Happy D’ex - “She is a point-to-point winner that we’ll start off in a bumper as soon as the ground softens. We’ll most likely keep her in bumpers this season”

Anyone heard anything about gypsy island? No mentions since her win way back in May, hopefully not injured again

Another of the big Hendo taking horse is out on Wednesday at Warwick. Queens River bought for ?330k by JP after winning a P2P.

Again hard to trust him anymore but Hendo said about her 'She's a mouthwatering prospect', in his RP stable tour.

Now she is starting off over 2 miles 5 so may not be coming here, especially as she has won a point, so may be seen as a stayer

Not a dickie bird. Keep looking for news/entries but nothing yet. No news is good news? She's clearly delicate so I'd only expect her to have one run before before the fez so plenty of time.

Queens River's work rider was interviewed a month or so ago and he was very complimentary about her. Let's see what she does on the track.

The one NJH horse I'm intrigued by is Russian Ruler who had 3 mentions when his stable staff were asked for a horse to follow for the season. No entries as yet.
