Imagine we’ll get a similar race at the DRF as two seasons ago. Where
El Fabiolo
Dysart Dynamo
Appreciate It
Saint Roi
Flame Bearer
All ran. (with the outcome not being what the market suggested)
And that dictated Paul’s ride and the pecking order come March.
I expect the same this season.
Obviously no Turners to bump a few up (mark permitting) this time of course.
Personally i won’t be getting too focused on both pinning down the right horse and getting the trip right for his novice chasers (bar the obvious stayers) off the back of quotes and from their initial runs. Imo so many factors count against getting involved too early this season (No Turners, No Christmas 2m race, Domination of Willie etc)
That said - Majborough, being with JP will fit outside a lot of the usual unknowns.
But Willie tends to be fairly reluctant to go 3 miles with his novices until he really has to.
And given his age, i’d say it’s event likelier to be the case with him. Even if he were not to come out on top at the DRF.
