    Did he?
    I’m seeing comments on here that Walsh wants to go BANC!!

      He did yes. Yesterday's run must have converted him the other way........sooooooooo confusing!!

        I don't think he's that high up in the decision making process to be fair, but they employ him for a reason. He's in the best position.
        I'm afraid it's another of those horses that is good enough wherever he goes so will depend on all the other factors like usual.
        I certainly wouldn't cash anything yet.

          I haven't seen the actual quote from him, but Lydia on Road To Cheltenham said "I felt like Mark Walsh was leaning Brown Advisory, in terms of what would suit the horse best"

            Ok
            Well as Q says,hold on to your bets
            Looks like a 50/50 call to me

            • I'm just thinking that Willie doesn't look like having the Turners winner without F2F going there whereas he has several that can go to an open looking BANC. I'd be quite happy F2F skipping the race though as I'm one of the lucky ones who followed Eggs in on his 50/1 G Destiny WTAF !

              • If F2F does go BANC then the Turners looks decidedly weaker. Grey Dawning would still be a big possibility for that race and would surely prefer to avoid F2F?

                  That would suit me as well, being on GD, although not got the 50 unfortunately
                  Mind you I’m on SAF for BANC as well, so swings and roundabouts really

                  • If I were Willie who would I rather take on.........SAF, Grangeclare West, Montys Star and Grey Dawning in the BANC or Ginnys Destiny , Facile Vega?? ....... anyone else??? In the Turners?

                    No brainer when you look at it that way.

                      • Personally think after yesterdays win F2F goes turners seen off Gaelic warrior yesterday looks the easier race to win compared to the browns with stayawayfay & grangeclare. Has shown enough gears for two and half no need for 3 miles this season plenty of time for that next year

                          Gaelic and Sharjah won't run.

                          Uncle Phil not anywhere near good enough to run but Michael O'Sullivan

                          Blood Destiny - if he runs, O'Keefe

                              Marine Nationale.

                              Bounces back. Wallops them all.


                              It's actually an interesting betting heat if you were starting from scratch today

                                I’m pretty much starting from scratch
                                Only bets I had were Djelo and Blood Destiny, nrnb thank god!!
                                Djelo won’t run not quick enough and BD might but has to show a lot more than last time for me to be excited.
                                Im actually now looking at the British contenders a bit more seriously now.
