    She has a hurdle entry for next Tues at Down Royal, one I've been keeping an eye on regards a possible Mares Nov Hurdle tilt

    • DRF entries is concerning for ones I've backed not being in there

      • Chapeau won't have time for another run and then the DRF, and he wouldn't go there with how little inexperience he has along with his awkwardness so expected?

          Agree. I know Willie has some in there without a win, but ultimately if Chapeau is his bumper horse this season he'd want him to win a race prior to turning up and going to the DRF wouldn't be an ideal place to do so.

            • I assume most have seen already but Patrick was on ATR this morning saying he's fine and will be out in February.

              Agreed with the above that it makes sense. Be interesting to see how Fact To File performs back in trip.

                    Late season bumper then over hurdles next season is usually what de bromhead does

                      That's how I see him now. Suspect he'll run in the same bumper as Bob O & JWM at Gowran.

                        Guess similar comments could apply to DIAYT, also not entered at DRF and without a win to his name?

                          Exactly that, IMO.

                          He'll let his 'second team' run at the DRF against the rest of the 'top' opposition, he'll know where he stands then, I guess.

                            I have Fact To File as potentially his best. Also, Willie's best bumper runner going into the Champion Bumper has tended to run at the DRF: Facile Vega, Kilcruit, Appreciate It, Blackbow. This year, his best could be one of ten though. I think he's keeping CDS away because he is awkward, like he did with Ferny.

                              He's the one that's staring us in the face if you believe in RPR's, but 2m 4f for first run is unusual for his winners isn't it? Certainly no recent winners have gone such a route.

                                No winners. But he did send the horse he thought was his best that route in Appreciate It.
