Brandy Love
She deliberately came back in to Willies yard late, didn’t she.
It sounded like a plan, to come back late.
Given her propensity for Left Handed tracks, I saw that from the first mention of it, that it was a plan to run once (Left Handed) before the Mares Hurdle, then go on to Punchestown.
I don’t have a worry about that plan (think how often Willie managed to get Quevega there without a run)
Love Envoi and Marie’s Rock have set the standard over the Mares Hurdle trip this season, and it’s looked likely that Epatante won’t be winning at Cheltenham unless she tries the Mares Hurdle too.
So I’m really hoping the big 4 line up in that race, and that Brandy Love finds a decent race for her seasonal debut, where she isn’t penalised too much for her Grade 1 win last April.
Maybe even find a race vs the boys if the race conditions give her a better chance."Journeys to Glory, breathing in his head".

Do you not think dramatically veering off to the left will hamper her even on a left handed course? It's not as if she just hangs left a little or jumps left a little she basically wants to run off into the next field. If she still has that trait come Cheltenham then she'll not be winning anything.

Not to be disheartening backers especially as plenty on at prices as is the point of this forum but even with the Honey news the current price on Love Envoi is a bit over the top surely from the bookies. I've read various bits and pieces on here and social media and yday effort whilst doing it well was nothing to shout about, the RP has it within 8lbs of Marie's Rock last week, I wouldn't have it within 18lbs personally.
Seen quite a few hammering the Tolworth for various reasons, You couldn't be giving the winner much more than 140 at a push and I'm reading how much better/quicker Love Envoi was?? She's 2.5L quicker from 2 out after being 30+L slower than the Tolworth to that point, even the hcap at the arse end of the day has bettered all relevant splits(Circuits, 2 out etc) on shoddy ground. Those in behind her yday have seemingly run to a piss poor standard and her being trimmed to as low as Marie's Rock was after her win last week seems over the top for all she hasn't done anything wrong. If it is day 2 level of shitte weather from last year on the Tuesday she'll be game and be interesting, but anything outside of that scenario I Can't imagine any punter would back her over MR at inevitably very similar prices.
Thoughts/shots welcome.

It’s always good to have strong well thought out views on those you’ve backed, and not backed, and update them after each piece of new information.
Sounds like you’ve got your position sorted on Love Envoi after her run yesterday.
It doesn’t really matter who agrees or not, as long as you’ve done your own Calcs.
There’s only one winner, it could well be Marie’s Rock again, but it does look a very decent pack at the top of the market, and none of their connections should be put off from entering, declaring and running, by what the others have achieved.
