Yeah he might be looking at the forecast and the chance the Friday might be called off. Thursday chance of rain and could freeze there all week.
To me just he’s covering his options at a track he loves to send his better horses too.
He could go up in try who knows but he has already come out and said JDR looks a 2 miler
You're most trusting in Henderson than I am.
I think he'll be the 2m race or go somewhere else. But it's a strange move as the going would not significantly change between the two days.

Not really thinking about the going but the idea that they could call the Friday off but the Saturday still be on. More likely to be frozen on the Friday than the Saturday based on the forecast
I wonder whether we will struggle to get Fairyhouse on this weekend. Minor frosts the last 2 nights and below zero overnight temperatures forecast for the remainder of the week and it's not expected to get warmer until after the weekend. Should be OK if we can maintain positive daily levels. Friday and Saturday nights seem to be the hardest frost levels forecast at this stage. It's always a concern once we try and race after two nights of a hard frost.
Looking at the Hatton's..is Irish Point not the play here? Majority of Willie's all needing the run which would make IEP vulnerable to a race fit Irish Point, and what with the quotes regarding Irish Point being hard to place this term, he'd surely have to run on Sunday. Outside of the Hatton's I can't think of many more grade 1's over two and a half, obviously Aintree would probably be his main target this term but between now and then they'd surely have to take their chance with him. He performed well in the Royal Bond last season so no issues with the track. I get Teahupoo won it last year so you'd say he's more than likely going to try and defend, but I can't help but think Robcour ends up throwing two darts at it. 8/1 seems fair IMO

Agree. He'll be fitter than most and will probably be trying to win more than most as he will have few opportunities over the mid trip.
I don't want to get too carried away with the fan club but I reckon Buddy One will actually run well in the Hattons Grace.
IEP and a field of 7 puts me off a bet like but I'd fancy him to be competitive with the rest.
Probably should've looked at an each way bet before the field was cut.
My worry with Buddy One is that this might come a bit soon for him. What with being on the go through the summer and only running 10 days ago. I hear the trainer mentioned he's come out the race well, but you never really can tell until back on the track. He's interesting though.

Harry Fry says 'all systems go' for LOVE ENVOI in the Grade 1 Fighting Fifth Hurdle, per @NewcastleRaces:
"She’s all ready to get her season under way. Obviously, it’s going to be a very good race with a certain Constitution Hill set to line up but it’s a lovely starting point for us.
"We’ve been happy with her since she came back into work and we’re looking forward to seeing her out.
"I was delighted when Noel Fehily asked me to train her, her first season went great, she was unbeaten over here and only lost her unbeaten tag in Ireland, winning at the Cheltenham Festival.
"Last year, she picked up where she left off, added two more wins and was then a brilliant second to Honeysuckle in the Mares’ Hurdle.
"That’s what her season will be built around once more in March, but we are looking forward to seeing her out this weekend."
