*Shame ground will likely scupper things, and likely results to be taken with a pinch of salt IF racing ends up on.

Definitely will throw up some strange results I'd imagine. Gordon may also decide against running his better horses this time round and send in the sloggers instead.

Yeah very good point this, which makes it all the more difficult for us

Very true. Just a watch for me and wait until the Xmas period and Willies before jumping in

Yeah, he might decide to send a few more over to Naas the following weekend instead now if the track is a bog. There's a beginners chase at that meeting won by Three Stripe Life last season. American Mike or Found a fifty might be re-routed that way. For what its worth I think Halka Du Tabert will start her chasing career in that race, she's ran well there twice last season.

Of course if Down Royal is abandoned, don't forget here, in Ireland, that normally means the card takes place a week or so later. We're able to do that usually on a day when there is no other NH racing or where is another NH meeting on, but it's at the other end of the island.

Brilliant that they do that.

How is Envoi Allen 13/2 (with a boost) for the race on Saturday?

He's 4 from 4 at the track including this race last season. Conflated finished 4 1/2 lengths behind him last season in the race, and the recent Minella Indo form is average at best.

Gerri Colombe is an obvious favourite and could go in, but this is a fair step up from novice company last season, and odds on is way too skinny, IMO, for all that he could have improved a fair bit and could well win.

You have to forgive his most recent run, behind Easy Game, but I'm more inclined to believe that was a pipe opener for this race.

Heavy ground would be the huge worry COD?

Henrys said he won't run him on bad ground again

I was looking through the race earlier, and for me Gerri is almost a winner by default :/

I know we always seem to rule him out and comes back with a bang!

I do feel the drift might be too do with the weather though! Henry might not run him.. so might not part cash until decs. gerri has been smashed in already with few firms.

The ground was something I had thought about but dismissed. Was there anything recent from Henry regarding him turning up for this race?

HDB on Envoi Allen ahead of the Ladbrokes Champion Chase next weekend:

He seems in great form so we'll see. He's got his entry and we'll see nearer the time how the ground is etc. I wouldn't want to run him on real soft ground again, I think he struggled in that at Gowran the other day but he'll come on for the run'

24th Oct that COD..

Agree COD. Silly price. I'm expecting another big run/win at the course and a price collapse for the Ryanair.

By sounds of this it doesn’t look likely to be on.
