  • And while A Dream To Share is reported to be back in good form, McManus’ racing manager Frank Berry has confirmed he will instead revert to the bumper route in Leopardstown’s Grade Two finale on February 3.

    He said: “All being well, he’ll go for the bumper (at the Dublin Racing Festival).

    “Basically he’s missed a few schooling days and a few things and with the setback it just didn’t give us a lot of time to get him jumping.

    “He’s eligible for the bumper in Leopardstown and that’s the route he’s going to take, so let’s see how we get on doing this.

    “He’s coming along nicely, John is happy with him. We’ll learn a bit more at the Dublin Racing Festival and see where we go from there.”

    • ….No Flies on Him into 6-1 DRF (opened 14-1). 365 have cut to 25-1 from 33-1 Sup but remain the best on offer.

        Might as well give him a flat campaign tbh. Not sure that'll be popular here mind

          Yep , I want him in the Baring Bingham myself , Charlie .. On at The Best Prices !! . .
          But have that feeling he could be an Appreciate it sort , So been getting him in a few Multi's recently . .

            They may well do and then bring him back for a full jumping season next season. Makes sense. He'll not be jumping a hurdle this season.

            • I'm pretty sure we all knew anyway but A Dream To Share unlikely to go novice hurdling this season, Frank Berry has said, and according to a RP journo!

              • I cant wait for no flies on him to be absolutely tucked at the DRF then people can stop talking about him! Wont even place in a supreme

                • I don't think anyone would be surprised if No Flies was to win at the DRF to add fire to an already messy Novice Hurdle division. I'm trying to tell myself no more bets on the Supreme or Ballymore until final Decs!

                        20s standout still for Firefox with PP

                        Bit of value in that with him being lame post Lawlors.

                          Yes agreed. Jumped beautifully that day too before the lights went out.

                            Also said both were lame post Lawlors. Interesting, Firefox can be boosted to 28s with Ladbrokes for those who wish.

                              Most of his losers have Either been lame or had a snotty nose.
                              Not buying it myself.
                              At least not 100% of the time.

                              • had heard Firefox had scoped dirty post race , now he's lame post race , not a fan of excuses being rolled out , particularly when its various reasons , Jamie Codd said he didn't fire ,last week, not that the beast was lame, whatever i just don't think he will trouble the judge in the Supreme
