It goes without saying that obviously a hard race this close to the festival wouldnt be ideal, but he's failed to beat a rival home there (not accounting for the double green horse), just 12 days out from the festival. He'd have to be someway close to being tuned for it if that was the plan.
Few quid at big prices on the machine if you think he's a chance.
I don't see Gordon as one who would 'hide' a horse that would be coming over either, targets wise, he's at least naming his horses for races.
On the machine you don't get the nrnb safety net.
if he lines up his chances are not negatively impacted from todays race. Quite the opposite imo.
Whether he does or not we'll find out soon enough

Well yeah of course, but thats why you get a bigger price
Graham added: “He’s entered in three of the handicaps, I spoke to Willie and he said he was half-favouring the County but no firm decision had been made yet.
“He was a bit unlucky in his only outing this year at Clonmel. He made a really bad mistake but got back into the race and then I think a lack of race fitness told against him at the finish.
“These four-year-olds turning five often struggle this year and to go to the Festival and win is a big ask, the handicapper just always seems to be hard on them. Unless you are absolutely top class, the only races for you are the handicaps and there never seems to be any respite from the handicapper.
“He’s in good form and is working well and has a chance, but there is probably going to be 10 more in the County Hurdle better handicapped than Bunting, I would have thought.
Can't imagine too many positives to take from that run for Pied piper for county backers.
I always remember Wicklow Brave pulling up at sandown 6 days before winning the county and Faivoir pulling up a month before winning the county. If PP lined up ill be backing anyway.

Graham who may I ask ? Apologies if I should know.
I've been very interested seeing this PP chat. Was tempted to back.. When it reads pulled up.. . But then watched today's race.. I can't see how that's a little workout ready for a big handicap..
Im a big aspire tower fan... But again the horses are all trying big time.. So definetlys nos for another quick turnout. Im guessing wicklow brave and favor didn't quite pull up on similar terms as today's pair mentioned above?

Didn't they pull Wicklow up because he was detached and left at the start, and obviously no point keeping going at that point
Faivoir wouldn't have won if Davy could have ridden properly
