        Fab. I missed Honeysuckle, though 99.9% of people hopefully knew that one.

            The scariest thread on FJ.
            What your message does is provides a reminder on how sensitive that thread can be, so the only entries should be factual confirmation of horses that won't go, all related discussion should be within other threads...

            • Salvador ziggy out today- 2nd run over fences. I havent checked details but feels like how elliot like to prepare for for nhc. get a couple of early runs in - hopefully another at the course and then put them away.

              edit: given about comments maybe I shouldn't have said out

              • Rather than clog up charlie diary, does anyone know the injuries that kept out both Minella Cocooner and The Nice Guy last season? Happy to receive the information via. DM if need be.

                    He means that 'out' sounded like injured or whatever in the context of the above conversation. That was how I initially read his first sentence also.

                    But he meant 'out' as in 'running today'.

                      Did that nicely. PP have left him at 12's which seems reasonable for Gordon's leading candidate in the context of AP markets these days.

                        • Nice enough from Salvador Ziggy, changed his mind at a couple but smart enough to get away with it, pulled away easily.

                              Nothing from Gordon....

                              Jack was very happy, ground probably went deep enough for him and the track was tight enough and didn't really suit him, as good a horse youll see round tramore this time of year..

                                : "It was a good performance again even though he was getting a few pounds off two of them. Jack (Kennedy) said further he went, better he got. He probably wasn't in love with track or maybe ground. He could be horse for Kerry National."​
