Could affect how I back her for the coming season, can cash her out for the Mares Chase, but It's Nicholls, he's no mug either, is he!Comment

I'd say he probably didn't get to decide myself, from memory I think Jared is quite a strong character. He'd have no bother switching her, would he?Originally posted by Crolwey113 View PostOr he thinks the best of Laurina is in the past now! Rare he lets a good one go!Comment

Sure is a surprising one anyway, thats at least 2 of Sullivans gone from Mullins that are known of as of now.Comment

He (Sullivan) comes across quite impatient. I know him and Chris Giles had their differences, and went seperate ways when in partnership. And obviously sold Buveur D'air tooOriginally posted by Crolwey113 View Post

Interesting!Originally posted by Crolwey113 View Post
Took a little punt on her at 33/1 for the Mares Chase with the vain hope Willie might bring her back to her best. Was unlikely and can cashout for 95%.
I don't know whether to just cut my losses now, as despite being a huge Nicholls' admirer, is this scenario now less likely.
I might leave it... what are peoples thoughts in this move?
If you couldn't touch her with a barge pole, then I don't need to know, that's assumed by a no-comment
Sorry CoD, didn't see you'd posed the same musing!Comment

Clearly fallen out like This Gigginstown episode. Think he may survive though.Comment

I'd keep her on board. Nicholls could turn her around. Don't be surprised to see her go back over Hurdles.Coral Cup anyone??Originally posted by Kevloaf View PostInteresting!

Far from clear.Originally posted by Lobos View Post
Nicholls has always had a relationship with Sullivan, it was a bit of a surprise when Willie got some horses with them as up until that point they had ALL been UK based?
Perhaps they just want to have their horses in the UK again? Gordon hasn't got any has he?Comment

Big link with Noel Fehily too isn't there.... I bet that has a lot to do with it.
I'm pretty sure I'll cash Laurina out for the Mares Chase now, however the price is unlikely to move anyway so no need to jump the gun.Comment

Sorry, didn't see the discussion in here before my post in the Mares Hurdle thread.
I think Nicholls/Sullivan had a falling out during the Potensis split and then Sullivan was enticed in by the French buying power with WMP.
I wouldn't be out to back her for anything on the back of her last couple performances - she looked gone. Paul can bring them back though, but as far as a festival target is concerned given Paul's not so Cheltenham focused approch, you'd be brave tying up reserves at this stage.Comment

I haven't seen any quotes but I'd have it as a positive to her chances in the Mares Chase, rather than Mares Hurdle.
Couldn't have PFN winning the Mares Hurdle but he is a master with horses over fences (in my eyes anyway). Be interesting to see what route they go down.Comment
