    Obviously everyone's free to take that as they like given the source
    FFF is a runner, they had planned to skip (go the Ashroe route) but Patrick said Munir wanted to run her in the bumper.

    Interesting to see what improvement comes as she was just back into training very close to DRF so should be massive fitness upside in the bumper.

      Ya Davy Casey very sweet on her last night at a preview I was at, said she was only half fit at DRF, has a lot of improvement still in her. It was enough to convince me to pull the trigger on her as maybe Mullins top prospect. Still no idea who will ride however

        I think Oisin Murphy may get the leg up on her as he took out a jumps license just for this race

          Not long until we actually know these things now
          Did you grab some of the 50's as well Kev ?

            He could ride over hurdles/fences as well as he did lots of show jumping during his Ban. Didn't know Jim Culotty is his uncle!

                Entered yes but will need plenty to pull out

                  9 to be exact, there’s 3 or 4 in the same boat as him without a win but I could see Gordon & Willie pull at least 5 between them.

                    Not too bad then. I think she'll be ok based on that if they want to run.

                    • Are the ratings out soon? Be interesting to see how he fares against the other winless entrants. BDA not being seen since probably doesn’t help his cause either.

                        ….presume we still only know the 33 initial entries?

                          If Willie runs most of his other ones I think he will struggle to get in

                          • Pretty sure Chapeau de Soleil will get a run. He's number 25 on the BHA bumper list - max field of 24 but expect a few of those above will drop out.

                              Does that mean all he needs is one to drop out?

                                Is Special Cadeau ahead of CDS in the list? If so, I see he's declared Sunday so that might be the one needed to come out.
