I've read through the update and can find no big name novice chaser missing for Christmas.

The section on those horses that are out is as follows:

out for the season or are considered very unlikely to return until next term: BENEFICIALLY YOURS (Dead), CALIYZA (Sold), CAPTAIN TEAGUE, DRIPSEY MOON (Dead), FASTORSLOW, HOUSTON TEXAS (Dead), LET IT RAIN, QUANTUM BOY, THATSDWAYIMTHINKIN (Dead), TRYFAN (Sold), VENUSIENNE.

Also, in case anyone was wondering whether the horse out was It's For Me, Anthony Bromley said he is the horse he's looking forward to seeing over Christmas the most.

[Lobos]

So Croke Park current edging favouritism over Better Days Ahead. What did we make of that ? I get the impression CP isn't rated on here. Do people believe BDA is the better horse or just the better prospect for the Festival?

Same. I’ve read it twice and the only thing that comes close is Gidleigh Park, and it can’t have been him, surely.

Tough one, on jockey bookings you could say Croke Park as Sam Ewing is jocked up and not on Better Days Ahead, that may be down to Giggs having their say as Elliott’s longest and most loyal owner.

Can't really see either of them having the class for a BANC atm

But if one of them was to win impressively that opinion can change

I do have 50s on croke park so would prefer he won but it's a coin toss really

Maybe Croke Park still goes to Limerick?

Glad someone else came to same conclusion, I thought I was missing something obvious but went over it again and couldn't see anything that would make sense for the claim.

Maybe someone had second thoughts on allowing him to release the info or it wasn't as severe as it sounded. No mention of it on his racing diary tonight either.

I think it was Firefox but the concerns were not as bad as first thought.
most obvious drift on exchanges at the right time anyway.
I’ve removed the skin tag anyhow.

Lobos' banana skin method?

Sam won the Drinmore on Croke Park and Danny won the Pipe on BDA

I think the jockey bookings are for that reason

My feelings exactly, i think in this case jockey bookings dont point towards the stables No1.
