    Just to add to this, Kala Conti did receive a higher RPR on debut for Gordon but not to forget she was bringing over some winning form from France. Mighty Bandits 123 was very good for a horse seeing the racecourse for the very first time, and by the sounds of it preparation hadn't gone as planned either. I've backed both, I think both will end up in the Triumph, based off what we've seen so far and I expect Mighty Bandit to end up in the Knight Frank over Christmas now.
    Good point. If Kala Conti wins at the weekend, I would suspect we might see her in the Knight Frank too (all the three I mentioned did both I believe). Should be a cracking race and (should Kala Conti win) then who Jack Kennedy rides will be interesting. Of course, Kala Conti needs to beat the Mullins horse first this weekend which won't be straightforward.

      Think Newbury will be fine. Newcastle being further North obviously more of a threat.
      ….not sure of the forecast for Ireland but I’m in Liverpool and it’s usually similar to here and it’s very cold.

        Simon Rowlands gave him a 137 and only behind Burdett Road so far this year. Graeme North have him a good write up from a time POV on Sportinglife.

            I'll be betting her in the W/O market if the right price is around. Luccia franking that form nicely in the Greatwood.

                      What catches your eye? I kinda see it as maybe Firefox giving him a run else the rest of the pack will have no intention of getting near ballyburn.

                      Be plenty of jocks doing a dance and throwing the kitchen sink 3 out, let’s just hope Paul isn’t one of them haha

                        doctor glide was a 95,000 euro store purchase by doctor dino,
                        and the barry connell newcomer by sir percy, who was a 65,000 euro store
                        Probably won't get near the top 2 but they were the newcomers i was alluding to

                        Helvic dream, 105 rated on the flat, fit from a listed race on the flat, beat coeur sublime in a flat race , if he takes to jumping , who knows

                          Irancy is one I've been waiting to see for a long while, but the jockey booking wouldn't fill you with confidence.

                              The ground is too quick otherwise it would have had another future Festival winner in the race.

                              We are targeting the Towton and really need a run somewhere quickly. He's entered at Haydock on Wednesday next week, and Exeter on Friday is the final chance to get a suitable run in. If we don't get our ground we'll go straight to the Towton.
