Do we think Aba, Saint Roi and Saldier are all going to turn up at the ICH ??
Just had a look, it could be a 4 runner field
+ Honeysuckle
+ Sharjah
- Aspire Tower
? Saint Roi (probably runs)
? Abra (already had 3 runs, poor run LTO, rest up for March?)
- Beacons Edge (runs tomorrow)
+ Petite Mouchoir
? Saldier (all depends on fitness/well being)
? Winston C (wildcard)
+ Honeysuckle
+ Sharjah
- Aspire Tower
? Saint Roi (probably runs)
? Abra (already had 3 runs, poor run LTO, rest up for March?)
- Beacons Edge (runs tomorrow)
+ Petite Mouchoir
? Saldier (all depends on fitness/well being)
? Winston C (wildcard)
Pretty sure they've said Aspire Tower is unlikely.
Which makes a strong pace unlikely, and makes honeysuckles job harder, so not sure why they've not thought this through. Or have they ?
They seem to have taken last season's run at Dublin (aspire tower) as a reason for his poor run in the triumph.
They may have a rethink when the 5 day decs are out I suppose.
Winston C also runs today.
So it could be
Petite Mouchoir, Honeysuckle, Sharjah, Saint Roi, Abacadabra's, Saldier.
Honey may have to make the running I think.
And maybe they want it this way.

I see her at the front, dedicating the pace. I've always though this horse wants the early pace to be weak and then use her tactical speed to power away. I personally think she's all speed, some may disagree
Be interesting to see who's left in this race come decs
Not that I'd heard.
I'd imagine he'll possibly be entered up at Sandown or if not the Kingwell hurdle.
So wait and see an entry and that should help.
Symonds has gone on record to say that he will only feature in the CH if there are very soft conditions... he did then back track slightly to say his participation will be somewhat determined by his performance in one of the trials Q mentions above, so I guess overall there is some doubt

These comments were prior to Silver Streak winning at Christmas though, I think ?
Be a pretty silly decision not to run the horse now I reckon.
Otherwise what's the point of ever owning or training a horse like this.
