IEP Turners is definitely back on my radar

I have him backed for the turners but no cashout so the Constitution Hill news has at least given me some hope again !

[darlojim]

A fairly big move (at this stage of the year anyway) for Impaire Et Passe in the Turners, matched over six hundred quid at 5/1.

Of course, it could be nothing, or it could just be linked to the likelihood of Constitution Hill staying over hurdles, I'm not sure, but sharing it anyway.

We need a billymag update

I can't see much has changed really though. There's been no surprise calls from other trainers as to targets, and Billy had mentioned other horses had no bearing on where he was going.

Just can't get over how you could see the punchestown run vs the cheltenham run for IEP and keep him at 2 miles personally

190k for Third Time Lucki is a cracking bit of business...

Further confirmation MN being aimed at an Arkle


You'd have to expect the Arkle fav to be short this year come the day. Christmas & DRF should confirm best 2m novice pre Cheltenham.

Willie saying ZTB will go down the champ hurdle route for the double green does have some weight to the Impaire target. No one expects ZTB to be winning a champ hurdle realistically, so you’d wonder why he said it bar he’s throwing a bone to how they are thinking with the options

Willie is perhaps a little puddled? His post race comments this year really have been strange, and then he contradicts them and suggests that he’s not even discussed any future plans.

Excellent. At least with him in there it won't be a complete bore of a walkover.

As good as IEP is if he performs like he did over at punchestown again at 2 miles I'd probably class that as a walkover

Really appreciate the info and I'm comfortably out of my positions I had on him for Turners in profit, but I still find this an absolutely remarkable decision...

Can only think he’s been schooled and jumps like a fridge for the champion hurdle to even be considered

Have a feeling that wasn't his running at all. Willie looked pissed right off after the race. He expected more. It was Punchestown though and I do not trust that form a lot of the time . Long hard season.
