        Yeah, someone on here mentioned something about him but I thought it was that he was unlikely to go to the festival.

        • You'd think if he wins well they'll put him on the boat

          • I believe somebody posted that they weren’t planning on bringing him to cheltenham at the time but things could change. There was nothing about him being out for the season.

              • Mullins himself had a tough decision to make in the Grade 2 Shabra Future Stars Bumper on Saturday and has gone with Fact To File out of the four-strong Closutton team.

                He said: "It was very hard to choose, I could have picked a name out of a hat. I went for Fact To File as he has been the one who has caught my eye at home during the last ten days. Chosen Witness probably has the best form and Fact To File needs to have improved since Christmas but I think he has judging by his work at home. I hope he has anyway!"

                • Think the 'pick name out of hat' comment by Mullins pretty much sums up the Bumper this year. A race to forget !!

                  • Wouldn't trust a word that Patrick says. He's just as likely to think that Fact To File is 10lbs better than the other three.

                    • Was some chat around Fancy Girl a few weeks back on here - Patrick has chosen Fun Fun Fun for Leop on Sunday. Jody on FG.

                        I think he owned it last time it ran and sold to munir since, might have had an impact on his decision.

                          He bred her so yeah, big impact on his decision. Very impressive on debut. Worth a watch.

                            Jody is riding better anyway.

                            Patricks ride on Blizzard of Oz the other day was a disgrace.

                              • I've been thinking for a while that Jody T is a bigger positive than Patrick.

                                Obviously a pecking order within the stable but in a matchup I thought was close I'd rather Jody
