    I think he’ll come over for 26th only. He’s not missing a ton that day. Especially now IEP is unlikely to run at Leopardstown. Only 2 x maidens and the juvenile. He missed Vega last year along with others to ride Allaho.

    I don’t think he’ll give up Gaelic Warrior and Salvator Mundi for Ballyburn, but could be wrong.

      I agree
      looking at the rides he has Boxing Day I’d say it’s lossie herself that’s the doubt and not so much Paul
      reckon we might see her New Year’s Day instead
      but hopefully not and we get a great race boxing day

        Mullins added on some of his other stars: “Fact To File and Galopin Des Champs are both well and fine, and both worked this morning. Both are on course to run in the Savills, while State Man is in good order and runs in the Matheson.”


        Let's hope Hendo doesn't bottle it

        ….thats why IEP into 15/8 from 3-1 with 365 for Faugheen Chase. They still have Ballyburn at evs.

        The IEP (Faugheen)/Ballyburn (Wayward Lad) is a touch over 5-1 with PP.

          • Someone from Daily mail yesterday said Wayward Lad was a certainty for Ballyburn.

                It's For Me set for the 2m beginners chase as well. Would be some statement if he missed all of them for Ballyburn

                  One of the rare occasions this year where I've got something right from a race planning perspective (Impaire to Limerick), but not a penny on it at the bigger prices

                  • Anyone seen anything on where Croke Park and Better Days Ahead are going? I assume to the 3m chase at Leopardstown on Boxing Day, rather than the Faugheen at Limerick?

                      Gave everyone enough clues yesterday when he was 4's!

                        Gordon a few days ago said

                        Croke Park Limerick
                        BDA Leopardstown

                        ATR

                          Gord said CP Limerick and BDA Leopardstown apparently. That was before the IEP potential switch though and Ballyburn going Kempton. Plus storm nobcheese coming in. Could all change.

                            I was too busy picking all my losers for today and failing to see the bigger picture with the Sir Gino/Ballyburn situation

                              No reason to that I can see

                              • It’s looking more and more that Sir Gino is going Wayward Lad after reading Hendos latest comments …..

                                If Gino is going to lose his maiden over fences, it’s got to be worthwhile, otherwise he’d be better off as a novice next year. We’ve got to see where we are, he’s won a Grade One hurdle already this year, so I’ve got to get him to Kempton and that’s it, then we’ll find out.”​
