That is surprising, he really hasn't ever shown he stays 3m well.

I guess he has a lot of time to think about ground conditions and change his mind...but pretty explicit with saying this is what he is being aimed at (unlike the craigneiche reference which seems much more 'could be')

He's only had one go though.
And he was held up at the back which proved to not be ideal.

Well I remember being quite vocal about how stupidly short he was last year, and apart from money coming for him, there's nothing suggesting this trip suits.

Of course this time I have the option of getting on the inevitable collapse in his price if he qualifies....as plenty seem to think he'll stay well enough to win a festival race. I'd expect a similar gamble this time.

Still don't think he'll win though

...Mark Howard picks an ante-post selection each Monday in his Sporting Life column. Today he selects Southfield Harvest for this;

His portfolio looks a bit poor.

Is it me, or is anyone else beginning to think Hendo has lost the plot?????

I thought it a while ago tbh! He could prove us all wrong and have a great Festival, but its looking a longshot right now.

I've thought something is up with Hendo for a while and increasingly so this season.

All joking aside, if he was a relative or colleague, etc, I'd be concerned for his welfare.

Istabraq Are the entries for the Punchestown qualifier out tomorrow or will they be Friday?

I don’t know the Irish entry system for sure but I’m guessing entries close on Friday so that’s the earliest we’ll know barring a random confirmation from
someone connected...

[jack1092]

They close tomorrow 12 noon

[Saxon Warrior]

Yes,

Ireland usually publish entries for Thursdays racing the Thursday prior, so I am thinking that for a Wednesday meeting then these would also come out on Thursday at 1pm.
