R4H appears to be a tad ITK re Mullins horses. Perhaps he can give us an update re IEP??

The big issue I have now backing anything in the Arkle is that it seems Ballyburn is going that way. That for me knocks out any win bets on anything else . Might just top up on Ballyburn each week at short odds rather than waste any more bullets on the race. Yes of course something could happen but that applies to all horses.
And performed no better than others at much bigger prices.
Think it would pay to be a bit more flexible myself

It wouldn't surprise me if he got done by Inthepocket should they meet.
Maybe the BANC slips are not dead in the water just yet

I was initially concerned about his lack of entry. But I don't think any of Willie's previous best over 2m have started out in that race. Il Etait Temps turned out to be very good, but going into the season, not many fancied him over a fence.
I think it's a race that would suit Ile Atlantique, personally. He's entered, so I'm hoping he gets declared.

I think that puts him bang there. Some have hit high 140's, others 160, that have gone on to win the Arkle.
Kilcruit never ended up at the festival, but we know how Gaelic Warriors season went. Obviously he had to be beat up in trip to end up in the Arkle.

Was listening earlier on. Callum Helliwell. Not heard of him before. Seems an affable and measured chap but yeah … “took lengths out of them at each fence” … or not.
As I said in the immediate aftermath, his jumping was average.
Having snook out of work to watch Sprinter Sacre's chase debut, I would throw my substantial weight (literal that is, not my racing profile ) behind that debut being miles more impressive
Then again, I think Monkfish still had the best chase debut I've ever seen
...... and then the best novice hurdle debut I can recall was Lough Derg Spirit so that's the end of my insightLast edited by Kevloaf; 25 November 2024, 11:58 PM.

It would be interesting to know if any horse got better than the 163 RPR that GDC was given on debut. Gaelic Warrior was 158, Monkfish 148, Sprinter Sacre 154 (the race comment for the 2nd is funny in hindsight - when asked why he didn't get closer, he said he was riding a bridle horse). Think the fact you were taking on an aeroplane had more to do with it.
