    Who'd have thought a novice could run in a 3 mile race for older horses for qualification purposes ?
    I know he's already qualified by the way.
    Just saying.
    If he was to bolt up would there be a danger he goes BANC ? Especially with F2F looking more likely for the Turners now and doubts around G West.

      No.
      The ten up is this weekend. I'd expect to see him entered in that, with Minella Cocooner, and possibly Meetingofthewaters if alright after yesterday's fall.

        The Ten Up isn't a big fav of Willie's though is it ? Isn't that what we established?

          There's a danger he could go anywhere. NRNB is best.
          They have said NH chase at the weekend though and have booked O'Connor, so you make your own mind up.

            WM said yesterday that FTF could go either race
            Has something changed from that?

                Or maybe he's going to the NHC because F2F is going to the BANC?

                Walsh was apparently leaning that way with him.

                I've talked too much Mullins bingo for a Monday morning...

                  Yes, for runners in the NH chase especially.
                  But I reckon he may run at least 2 in the ten up to see how they rank, and then split them accordingly in March or not send them.

                  The Turners looks very light now and winnable, Ginny's Destiny clear Favourite if Walsh gets his way and fact to file goes RSA.
                  Willie might throw 3 or 4 at the race. Even 5

                    Nope. However, Walsh did say he could easily drop down to 2 the last time and he looked to have plenty of natural speed yesterday.

                      Yeah.
                      But far from certain to run in NH chase. IMO
                      I think Willie may trial them at Navan and see whose best.

                        Potentially Grangeclare West as he missed his prep run? Assuming his setback was a small one of course.

                          Yeah - Unlikely unless they are absolutely sure though. They usually wait several days to be sure they are fine.

                            Walsh as in Ruby ?

                                AHH right. That changes things then. So he said he'd like him to go BANC ? May cash my Turners bet if so.
