Where he came from at Ellmarie Holden’s is only down the road, so he only had to move about 20 miles. They have a similar type of woodchip gallop to what we have, so a lot of things are the same and he’s settled in here well. I took the view that I didn’t want to run him in the Dublin Racing Festival because he’d only just arrived here, and to instead wait and go to Cheltenham. He started his work three weeks ago doing little bits and now he’s up to full work and I’m very happy with what he’s done. He was very fit the day he won, he jumped very well, so I’m going to take that all on trust and just have him cherry ripe for the day. He looked a super horse on the day (when winning at Leopardstown over Christmas), so we’re giving him every chance not to fluff his lines before it and appear there on the day.
Nice and positive, I'd gone a bit lukewarm on him but glad he's on track.
Any strong views on Margaret’s Legacy? (entered in Adonis on Sat & holds a Triumph entry)
...been looking through its French form which looks decent
An excellent horse to make use of NRNB on .... given the 'faff' of coming over.... you'd think either goes extremely well in the Adonis and books a spot at Cheltenham.... or they don't, and they don't bother?

Big NRNB price too to find out, 40/1 is it?
Yeah that’s exactly what I thought Kev but I could only get 33s
Margaret’s Legacy definitely aimed at the race although the trainer seems to think it’s an easier option than running against more experienced 4 year olds in France.
In Mullins sporting life column he mentions Tax For Max if running well may be one for the Triumph.
Last run was 5th in a group 1 in Germany, related to Tiger Tap Tap.
28/1 NRNB seems fair enough prior to his run tomorrow. Beats teahupoo he’d be cut majorly. Tough ask on hurdles debut though as well.
The night of the famous Patrick Mullins Racing Post preview where BDD was still going well, he put up both Farout and Tax for Max as exciting juveniles in the yard, could be worthwhile covering both if you can.
