    Yeah just caught that as I turned on, that was interesting.

      How confident did he sound about Tullyhill? I assume he was asked.

      Sounded pretty lukewarm at best on Ile Atlantique.

            Not even got any reason to lie about it any more

              Skelton sounding ultra confident with Grey Dawing in turners if the ground is soft.

                Racehour one is up on YouTube

                Do find it probably one of the funniest of the lot. Fogarty and Keith Donoghue are gas

                Edit - DJ trying to cool the bashing of the sponsor MGM is worth the watch

                  Lukewarm doesn’t sound ideal for backers . Could you expand as this is the fella that owners are desperate for him to ride and your description suggests it’s not reciprocated he’s also quite important to Ballyburn destination you’d imagine.

                    Don't think he said anything at all about the Ballymore, just refused to answer aside from saying Ballyburn would win if he ran here.

                      Skelton name checks Le Milos pertempts, he seems hopeful ‘just coming to the boil’

                        I was interested in what he said specifically about Ile Atlantique? Am I being dense….not the first time and certainly not the last

                          Said he loves Ile Atlantique, got robbed in the Lawlors etc and he actually pulled out a bit more than he expected there when he was joined by RTW. Did make a point though that he has been beaten now a few times when looking the winner. I wouldn't say he was as lukewarm as the poster above suggested personally and thought he was quite positive

                              Also said there's only so many times you can forgive a horse. Said he's a fan of the horse, don't recall him saying he loves him, maybe he did. Have been waiting for the vets so wasn't paying 100% attention.

                              Did definitely say he didn't not fight and actually went up in his estimations after that race, not sure if that's a good thing or if he didn't rate him that much before.

                              Then asked for who wins if Ballyburn doesn't turn up and he just said "something else".

                              Both positives and negatives in there, he obviously thinks he's a good horse. Maybe lukewarm was a little harsh but it wasn't exactly glowing either.

                              Maybe just one for people to watch themselves and see how they interpret it.
