Preview Evenings;

[Ball Mark]

Ruby is gagging to say Ballyburn heads to the Ballymore. But can’t … is my take.

He said he could see it running in the BB

[BigChaang]

No. I haven't had a single bet on the back of anything said.

I have ,, Answer the Cave !!! . .

Excellent preview Spectre, really really enjoyed that one. Watched a fair few over the past week and zoned out after day 1, listened to every word there and it was top tier Would highly recommend for anyone who didn't watch it live...

[Spectre]

Thanks Dan. That's very much appreciated. Those that stayed on late enough would have picked up on the Iberico Lord part!

It's available here in its entirety.

[PresentingPercy]

Preview night in Dublin, usually a good night but last minute change of plans meant Gordon Elliot replaced by his assistant trainer Ian 'Busty' Amond. I will summarise some of the main elements below, probably no need to give the full play by play on this one. To be honest, didn't learn a whole lot tonight, maybe a few tidbits.

Panelists - Davy Casey (DC), Gary O Brien (GOB), Johnny Dineen (JD), Busty Amond (BA), AP McCoy (AP). Kevin O Ryan as MC (KOR)

Key Highlights

Supreme
Jerico Du Reponet did very good work earlier this week (AP), destroyed Jingko Blue. Still a worry about yard health
Tullyhill lot of ability (DC)
DC not much help in deciphering where Ballyburn goes.

Arkle
Quilixios getting good mentions from GOB, DC
DC again non comital on if GW would run here, wouldn't surprise him if he was aimed here however

Gallagher / Baring Bingham
DC again non committal on Ballyburns intended target, said he will win whatever he runs in. Ile Atlantique def goes here.
General consensus was Predators Gold if Ballyburn didn't show up (GOB, JD)

Brown Advisory
Fact to File, loved in yard, pace in race from Broadway Boy will be ideal. Fences his only danger (DC)
Fact To File being talked about like Impairee Et Passe last year and Gallopin year before that in that he wont be beaten (GOB)

Queen Mother Champion Chase
Faster they go, the better El Fabiolo will jump, Edwardstone and Jonbon hopefully set pace (DC)
Jonbon worked shit before last years Arkle (AP) Working well this year.

Bumper
Nothing stands out from Mullins camp, anything can win (DC). Argento Boy at a price is his selection. If Barry Connell reckons his is best bumper horse in Ireland then C'est Ta Chance can't be far off.
Romeo Coolio best of their bumper horses when working at home, Jalon Doudairies prob better on the track from what he has shown and still improving (BA)

Turners
Iroko had a good racecourse gallop at Exeter last week (AP)
Facile Vega if he runs, going the right way at home, has the class, huge value at 6/1 (DC)

Stayers
Every panel member went for Teahupoo.
Teahupoo kept fresh for this, one of yards best chances of a winner (BA)

Mares Novice Hurdle
BA - Brighterdaysahead, best chance of winner, be hugely disappointed if she's beaten. Waste of time doing work with her at hime as she does everything in third gear and destroys everything she goes up against.

Triumph
Everyone pretty much in Sir Gino's lot provided yard looking OK during the week
Salvator Mundi, one for next years Supreme and will run in Triumph (DC). Also a huge fan of Majborough as a chaser and will also run here.

Albert Bartlett
High Class Hero purposely kept to running in low grade hurdle races and rested, prob the main one he likes from yard (DC)
No stand out in Gordon yard, they all be better chasers (BA)

Gold Cup
Gallopin repeats Xmas performace, nothing will beat him (GOB, JD)
Ruby rode him last week, Casey in front and Ruby said to him he's flying (CD)
JD said its very tough race this year and GDC wont get it his way. Would lay him up to 10 grand if he was evs or lower on the day

Handicaps/Other
JD - Its On The Line very solid prospect, prob have very big bet on him in Foxhunters
BA - Goffer in Ultima, but needs ground keep drying out. Woodhoo Boodles, shes great form and not punished accordingly by hcapper. Delta Work Cross Country coming into his own at home
AP - JP wins the Martin Pipe, Sa Majeste prob best of his lot (DC later goes on to put him up for Coral Cup) Waterford Whispers and No Ordinary Joe the two for pipe
DC - Icare Allen Pertemps if good ground. Quai De Bourbon has Mikey O'Sullivan booked for Martin Pipe, Sa Majeste Coral Cup

Charity Bets
JD - Its On The Line (Foxhunters)
GOB - Corbetts Cross (NHC)
BA - Teahupoo
AP - Corbetts Cross
DC - Lossiemouth (Mares Hurdle)

[Benjy23]

Thanks for typing up. Good to hear Jeriko is still flying

Casey be disappointed when he finds out about Majborough...

[Birds Nest]

Anyone attend the jonjo o'neil one on the 5th march dont think it was televised, called it "the two jonjos preview night" particularly interested in petit tonnerres chelty destination and participation in the imperial cup ?

[Odin]

Also a huge fan of Majborough for next year as novice hurdler and will also run here.

Most will know, but just to confirm, Majborough won a hurdle in France so assume this is a misspeak/mistype and he's liked as a novice chaser next year

Thanks for the write up PP

Mistype on my part, looking forward to him as novice chaser, he's 17 hands high and looks Gold Cup type eventually

[Exar Essay]

Thanks PresentingPercy Did I hear AP suggest Crebily might go to the Ultima? I thought this was odd as he’s not entered.
