How long before Willie announces that Sir Gerhard will be sticking to hurdles this year? With those entries, it looks like it is Appreciate It 2.0.
I would actually like to see Sir Gerhard and Bob Olinger in this race, they have the stamina to make it a test over 2m but are probably/definitely lacking the speed to beat Constitution Hill. It would make for a top class spectacle, and Bob has no where else to go.

I think I came on here after the Matheson and said Vauban was the eye catching one but after watching again, State Man had him well held. I don't think he has enough just yet to beat State Man but it's good experience for him.
I'd agree with COD and stick with Honeysuckle. She is dynamite around Leopardstown during the DRF - RPRs of 161 and 163 the last couple of years so State Man will need to run to 170 to beat her most likely. Her reappearance wasn't much different to her other runs in the Hatton Grace for me. If she is the 3rd favourite on the day, then she will be the wrong price.

This mantra is silly really, she went off 4/11.
I hope she comes back to form in Dublin, but I don't completely buy the "really good run against better horses talk"
It's a little bit true but not a lot.

I think so….. if that’s worth anything!
If Honeysuckle is downed at DRF though, might be a place to play for....
Unfortunately Sharjah, Vauban, State Man probably fill the places before I even look.

Only other one I think is possible may be First Street?
Looks to be improving anyway.
And I think he will run in the race.

Can get 33/1 Sharjah in the without Constitution Hill market... 1/5 3 places.
Or 25/1 on the same bet NRNB.
