    Was available at 2/5 with Hills yesterday.

      does give me a small cause for concern.
      Not my rumour though Arch​​​​​​

        Absolutely. I'd rather Ballyburn jumps well and wins. I am wary of the IeP rumours but I am not sure I think the Mullins second string at Thurles are good enough to beat Firefox or inthepocket. A risk but very small stakes.

        • Gidleigh park declared for kempton on monday.
          Iberico lord declared from Hendo, of course no sir gino.
          2m2f round kempton against iberico lord should give a good indication on which way Gidleigh park will go for the rest of the campaign.

            Four of Henderson's last five Arkle runners have started in this race. Make of that what you will.

                Yep. Also worth noting he's had a lot of runners in this race who then haven't been good enough for the Arkle. I think he often runs his best in it but he doesn't always have the quality.

                  Taken the 40's. After all, he stuffed Leau De Sud in the Greatwood giving him weight and he's turned out ok.

                    If he takes to jumps he’s a big contender imo
                    40’s definitely worth a go

                      Very classy . Ran in Churdle which says how highly they rate him. Obviously ignore that run..Needs Soft ground though. Bombed at Ascot between two top wins due to quick ground.

                      • Those can't jump rumours were a load of shite. Awkward coming into a couple but pinged the majority of them.

                          Aye got in close to a couple but thought he was clever.

                          Not beat anything but can’t say anything till he’s upped in grade jumping at pace. He can jump a fence that’s all that matters.

                            Yeah, good debut that
                            Not a clue which race would suit best for the festival still though

                            • I don't think stepping up to 3m will be an issue if they go that way. Looks to me that he would be better for going up than down.

                              • I'd keep him at the lower trips until he's beat. Dee Capo the only one to try and go with him and spent coming to the last. I'd just let him go from the front and win it from there. Not sure going up to 3m would see him at his best this year but if they went up in trip, he'd win there as well.
