GDM backers for the NHC basically need GDM to be withdrawn or run like shit. Willie persisting down the Grade 1 route having seemingly decided he's a Grade 1 horse is in itself, a NHC red flag. If he were to win (I don't think he will) then the NHC would surely be out. If he were to lose marginally into 2nd or 3rd by a few lengths, then I still think Willie will be eying up the BANC not NHC. Such a great race.
He always said he'd go down the G1 route with him, and he's stuck to that, in fairness.
I don't think he needs to run like shit though (that would be a negative for any race at the festival). Any run behind JDB, Kilcruit or I Am Maximus will see him go out in trip as I think whoever wins the Flogas will end up in the BANC for Willie.

If Willie wins the flogas beating mighty potter I’d say the turners more likely for obvious reasons
Who else does Mullins realistically have for the NH Chase ?
He has several possible darts for the BANC surely...
Ramilles is currently second favourite for the NHC. He's just beat the third favourite convincingly.
The BANC is poor this year - if GDM turned up and performed to his rating, the only other horses who could reach that rating for me who may turn up is James du Berlais, Gerri Colombe or Sir Gerhard. Thyme Hill is joint favourite and is up there as the worst current favourite of the week.
Stattler JDB and one other
he wasn’t categoric, just brought it up.
Stattler in particular as he blamed the ground at Cheltenham for why he didn’t run again last season
obviously came back a bit sore
A maiden winner with 1 run and a beaten horse
yeah I’d say he would
Overall his history of Flogas winners to the BANC & the Turners (since it started) is levels, 3 a piece, so it will be interesting to see how it plays out this season.

Recency bias would lead us to the Turners though.
Beating mighty potter would make them favourite
don’t think history matters.
unless it’s a scruffy win or something weird happens of course.
might potter will piss it anyway barring accidents
