    Pressure ?
    You mean like the same pressure I feel racing my 1 year old grandson to his trainset.
    One elbow and it's all over.

      Watch Dysart Dynamo back, if that is 'ok' jumping, we'll all just adjust our standards for you so there is less confusion going forwards
      Just be prepared that we all see things differently, plus it’s possible we can overestimate or underestimate in making comments whilst so much is happening around us.

        You are quiet correct, it was not his first run, so probably a bit unfair on my part, having said I want to see Mullins lot run again

          Ah yes, sorry I forgot, I'm new to this watching racing and posting comments about it.

            I like to see how a novice copes with a bit of pressure, rather than a horse that completely has it all his way out front, before making big statements re jumping.
            If others judge differently I have no problem with that, it’s just my thing.

              None of them have yet though, have they ?
              Apart from the handicappers.

              Biggest problem with this years arkle is Jonbon's price is clearly wrong, but is being held up because no one knows which of Mullins is best yet.
              Once that's decided I reckon we should be looking at 5/2 J Fav;s

                Yup. On what we’ve seen so far, SP’s should be similar to last years supreme. The best of Britain and best or Ireland being JF.

                DRF will tell us which is best of Ireland.

                  Yes that’s fair re your First point.
                  I actually think Jonbon price is about right , but accept people may see it differently and yes it’s quiet possible things could change depending on Mullins lot.

                    Love to know your logic behind thinking his price is right.
                    I'm not sure he'd be 6/4 racing any of the three Mullins contenders tomorrow in a match, he'd not be much shorter, for sure.

                    I think a hell of a lot has to go in the backers favour for his 6/4 price to hold till the off.
                    He could go off that price - don't get me wrong, I just think it's unlikely and that at some point he'd be a couple points bigger.

                      Just by my visual impression of his two performances thus far, coupled with him being very genuine and only beaten once so far,and that against a freak!!
                      But of course we ain’t all going to agree on a shorties price antepost.

                        You really think at some point between now and the off that Jonbon's price will be 7/2? I would love to see it but think it is very very unlikely.

                          Probably will now after DD today and Kilcruit yesterday. All of his will have to go some to match Jonbon though.

                            manner of speaking.
                            around 5/2 9/4 I reckon.

                              What if Jonbon is very impressive again at Warwick?
                              Could he shorten?

                                No doubt.
                                But the bookies are robbing people.
                                Who is he going to beat at Warwick that matters ?
                                The Irish are serious challengers and even if only one looks the biggest threat his price should drift.
                                If Willie splits them at Dublin, we might even have 2 serious threats.
                                On paper.
