    Thanks for sharing. Very helpful. Nice of Willie to let us know.........again.

    Plenty of time yet for him to get a couple of runs in. Stone Bruise shouldn't keep him out long.

        • Henderson's looked good in a very decent race in the first today. Altior colours. Could be quite smart. I'll keep an eye on him.

            He won well on debut too, Nicky thinks he wants another half a mile. Guessing Jet Powered is still the supreme no 1 for the yard.

              Nicky already mentioned about him needing to go up in trip eventually and he shaped like he would take to that well, wonder if Ballymore could be at the back of his mind incase someone like Firestep has any problems

                Master Chewy still winless after five starts. He was third in that Million Pound Point to Point.

                • What did Il etait temps rating go up to after his Novice hurdle win?

                  Looking at the RP, 137? or is that what he was rated going into that race

                    unchanged on 137 I believe
                    had 4 hurdle runs now

                    • I’m going to put up Hiddenvalley Lake as one for the Albert Bartlett for the following reasons:

                      1) Would probably have won his point to point had he not been carried out at the last by a loose horse when 2 lengths clear.
                      2) Bought for ?200k, so clearly well regarded
                      3) Won on his novice hurdle debut against 22 other runners when Henry’s horses weren’t running well.
                      4) Entered up over 3m at Cork tomorrow
                      5) If he makes it to the festival with promise, will almost certainly have Rachel on board.
                      6) 25-1 seems a reasonable price based on the above.

                        I really hope that cork goes ahead tomorrow, looks like that 3m hurdle race could be informative with regards to the albert bartlett.
                        Cool survivor, hiddenvalleylake and one I have backed for the bartlett monbeg park.

                            8) Santonito didn't exactly boost the form when struggling home the other day

                              Santonito beat 17 others horses home and Elliott has already said he’s starting his off slower this year. Had he not won your point may hold but he did despite that.

                                9j But the 5th home has come out and won as well as the 12th home and the 9th home was running a good race before falling close to home.
