A couple of changes in the revised Down Royal entries on Friday.
The Yellow Clay has an entry in the bumper so maybe he'll also get one on the Saturday in the 2m hurdle race.
Down Memory Lane has no entry in the 2m6f hurdle so hopefully he'll get one on the Saturday after be didn't take up Fairyhouse against An Tobar.
DB Cooper missing from the Friday bumper entries this time round but the rest are there.
Willmount declared for the 2m novice hurdle at Newbury on Thursday.
Personally I think that makes him only an antepost proposition for the Supreme. Henderson will keep him at 2m until he is beaten and if he's beaten in the UK then I don't think he's winning a Ballymore. Only two of Henderson's twelve Albert Bartlett runners in the last ten years have started over 2m so that is not impossible but unlikely.
I'd say the declaration is a vote of confidence from Henderson and he's in the mix but I wouldn't go as far as saying it means he is definitely the stable number one for the Supreme. Backers will be wanting him to win well with an RPR of 132+.

Agree. It's a weak race so we'll be getting plenty of rockets and aeroplanes on Twitter after he wins without coming out of second gear.
Undeniable Alibi perhaps? Best long term prospect IMO
I agree that he looks a proper one for the future. Have Robcour ever had a Champion Bumper runner before though? Could be a change in tack though for sure.
No DB Cooper or Romeo Coolio in the Saturday bumper at Down Royal. Looks like Jalon D'oudaries or Jersey Des Brosses might be Elliott's nominated one.
All the usual suspects in the 2m maiden hurdle. Notable that it is Down Memory Lane's only entry.
I'd probably say it's Jalon and he's already said that Jersey is not really a bumper horse. That is on the assumption Robcour are still avoiding the festival bumper.
Some interesting entires for Naas too. Similar entries for the 2m maiden, but the 2m3 maiden sees a number of Willie's better bumper horses entered including Readin Tommy Wrong and Tullyhill. Mahon's Way (Henry), Stellar Story (Gordon) also entered.
And the 2m4f beginners chase includes an entry for Fact to File, Grangeclarewest, Nick Rockett, Saint Felicien and Doctor Bravo.
Edit: And Gaelic Warrior too!

Willie really loading up then. The season is really about to start now!

Those Beginners Chase entries could be a Festival line up in a few months time.
