Even if he's beaten I'm not sure he'll be a lot bigger than 10/1 by the off
Gordon means you're almost certain to get a decent jockey on
I can see the appeal - he managed to complete a Grand National as well
I wanted to just be Ferns Lock and done in this race but the FOMO is pretty big - I'll check the odds of that race though - he might get beaten and be pushed out
Aye, Gordon and Gigginstown - bound to get a good jockey and be popular in the betting. Previous festival form as well. Hard to see him turning up and not be single figures.
Looks like he's comeback and easily won a point last month as well, so should be in good shape for Boxing Day. I think I've talked myself into it at least...
Nick Rockett entered on Monday at fairyhouse - 3-00 pm. 2m 5.5 f beginners chase . B.A.N.C more likely ??.
With a horse like him, who i thought might be their 4miler it's impossible to guess really.
Could be anything from a handicapper to a sneaky outsider in a g1. He'll still need to run once more to qualify anyway so the distance qualifier could be completed on that run..

Yes , True , Willie Mullins said today - sporting Life .... Nick Rockett is a course Winner over hurdles.
And i think he'll improve for his chase debut .... I think Paul ( Townend ) might have made the right decision to ride Him.
Learnt a lot about him last time. Reckon they'll ride him more forcefully tomorrow. He got beat (4th) when fav on debut last season and then went unbeaten the rest of the season. Fully expect him to improve from debut again this time.
Interesting entry for Undeniable Alibi over hurdles at Naas on Sunday. He was a pointer that I had on my radar for hurdling rather than bumpers but figured they'd hang on to him until next season, even though he was poor on debut. Gordon has started mixing bumpers and hurdles in the same season so maybe not a total surprise anymore. Tullyhill also entered markedly back in trip to 2m.
An Tobar is in good form and goes to Naas on Sunday, all being well,” said De Bromhead’s race planner Robbie Power.
“It has been a great Christmas for An Tobar’s owners, Robcour and the Acheson team.
“We had An Tobar and Slade Steel kept over Christmas for this race at Naas but it is just going to come a bit soon for Slade Steel, so An Tobar will go and try to emulate what Bob Olinger did in 2021, before he went on to win the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham.”
And Gala Marceau could use a well-trodden path to Prestbury Park by running in Doncaster’s Yorkshire Rose Mares’ Hurdle on January 27, a race Mullins has won with both Annie Power (2014) and Vroum Vroum Mag (2017) previously.
“We will possibly see her out towards the end of the month and there is a nice race at Doncaster that is being discussed,” said Peter Molony, racing manager to owner Alexander. “It’s a nice mares’ race, a Grade Two I think it is.
“The main aim would be the Mares’ Hurdle at Cheltenham – that’s what we are thinking.
“The extra half a mile she will get at Cheltenham seemed to really play to her strengths at Auteuil and she was very impressive that day. We were all blown away to be honest.”
Betfair Chase champion Royale Pagaille will get the chance to strengthen Venetia Williams’ Cheltenham Gold Cup hand in the Paddy Power Cotswold Chase.
Fun Fun Fun entered up at Exeter on Sunday by Willie , seem's an unusual thing to do ??.
Or throwing her on the boat with the betfair hurdle runners .??.
