Jingko Blue would be better in the Pipe.

I think Nicki’s lining up….

Sup - Jeriko
Bally - Jango
Spuds - Shanagh / Jingko

Surprised shanagh hasn't run again

Seems to have gone AWOL

Very rare for Hendo to run a 5yo in the Albert Bartlett. The last one was birchdale and he was pulled up and the trainer gave himself a bollocking so my guess is he won’t be in a hurry to do it again.

Jango will go Supreme and Jingko will go BB
He will have SB in be the AB
Be surprised if that’s not the case
But of course , just my thoughts

Ballyburn looking v strong on exchange for supreme today, likewise mystical power for Baring Bingham. Really has been a wild day on exchanges

Will be really interesting to see how this plays out over the next few days (i.e. will there be a drift back out?) - as Run4Home said earlier, no decisions are made until week before at earliest so this is all speculation surely...

Yep, will swing backwards and forwards this one until Decs. Ground will have a say as will any defections. Just ride it out.

I've listened to a handful of DRF review podcasts and I'm yet to hear anyone say he should go for the Ballymore. That has to play a part in the price movement over last couple of days.

And to be fair, they may all be right with his final destination, but I'm not worried about any of these movements meaning anything until we get to first week of march or we hear something definitively from the maestro.

(I know me and you are on the same page regarding him going Bally, but it's not ridiculous that he could go supreme)

They probably all have him backed in the Supreme not the ballymore

I have him similarly in both, but think he should & will more likely go Supreme

Been some moves for Mystical stepping up

That way round to me makes most sense….Bally goes hard near front & stays well …,perfect for Supreme. Mystical had good turn of sped needed for Bally & JP has other options there

But we all need to be honest…,it’s Willie bingo & best to find angles to cover diff scenarios

This was my original thought process for what it's worth until I looked back on what had already been said by stable (and run4home comments earlier today confirmed then).

I don't think the mystical power or ballyburn moves right now mean anything though is the crux of my feeling atm
And fwiw if ocastle (this weekend), ballyburn (supreme) and fact to file (RSA) all win, it pays for my festival so it's in my interest to want him in the supreme, I just don't see how the weekend makes that more likely personally (which is probably why the current moves don't bother me too much)

[Quevega]

Remember Sir G & Dynamo !
The exchange was mad up and down for weeks.
And most people got it wrong.

Loved Frank Hickeys confidence in Ballyburn winning the Supreme. Reckons you’ll need binoculars to work out who finishes 2nd and 3rd
