        • Blizzard and Killaney both look slow enough don't they, disappointed Killaney couldn't edge that as mullins only refers to Blizzard as a big 3miler chaser

          • Left I have Ile Atlantique and Ballyburn for the ballymore. Not confident and thought Killaney King would be the one for me. Both look slow today.

                • Is there any chance Mirazur West could be a Ballymore horse? I'm thinking not considering his entry to the future champions and his win lto. Want to cash before he runs...think I'm gonna do it...feel free to come at me with opposing thoughts. Dislike FOMO, shouldn't even be a term at this age

                    You know you will. Won't resist trying to get a Ballymore Fav onside

                      “The mares’ novice at Cheltenham is only two miles. I’d rather wait and go to Fairyhouse for the Grade One, that would be her aim in the spring.”

                        I think a few more will be doing that.

                          Should be able to wait as it won't be made clear, and even if it is bookies will still have him short enough that your cash out we hold.

                          • Killaney King will be a 3 miler based on today and his pedigree. Off the track for more than a year when they wanted to get a bumper into him. See what he does next time.

                            Opens up the Lawlors to Slade Steel unless they want to try An Tobar in grade 1 company again. His run wasn't awful in the Royal Bond, but he's another who will be a 3 miler. Should just send him over fences this season in the grade 1s. If he doesn't win, he's still a novice next year and if he wins, then he's a grade 1 winner.

                            Beckett Rock looks the best of Henry's to my eye.

                              "He’s not slow, we thought he was our champion bumper horse last year and I’d keep the Neptune open as an option. I do think he’ll be better going left-handed, he does lean a little that way and Cheltenham and Leopardstown should suit him well.

                              “I wouldn’t be scared of going back to two miles with him either. He’s not a slow horse.”

                              He won a point-to-point very impressively and a schooling bumper for me and as I said I thought he was going to be my champion bumper horse but he gave me a horrendous ride in Fairyhouse, very similar to what Ferny Hollow did to me a few years before," he added.

                              “I was coming round the home bend and I actually got my outside hand onto the bit, I’ve never had to do that before but I was sure I was going to go straight on.

                              “I don’t know why he did that but we never got him back right afterwards, he wasn’t working well. We kind of got him half right for Cheltenham where he ran quite well but we never found a reason.

                              “This season he’s come back in and looks stronger, he’s running straighter and I think he can now fulfil his potential."
