Can see them potentially pushing out a few short priced ones after this weekend..,.......
Sir Gino, Jonbon, constitution Hill, Lulamba and The New Lion all could be bigger.
They probably won't move or by as much as they ought to.
But anyone with any sense will understand that they will come nearer the day, assuming they all turn up, and we we some impressive winners over the weekend.
One or two could shorten if the Irish look average or nothing stands out.

If he's impressive at the weekend and the ground is soft at the festival I can definitely see GW going off fav ahead of JB. The Mullins factor, the weight of the Irish money, his demolition job in the Arkle last season and JB's lack of a festival win will all put pressure on the current fav.
It's whether he can do it this weekend though. For those that haven't backed him it's probably worth the risk doing it after the DRF in the hope he disappoints at Leopardstown once again.

Would be nice for those not on already to get bigger prices.
Interesting weekend coming up for sure.
Managed to find 2 new favs for the race in under 24hrs, impressive stuff.
Yep apparently folks are having a brainstorming session as we speak to see how they can get Jonbon beat in a walkover. Look forward to seeing the findings. Ideas under consideration are as follows; jockey had an episode and fell off, placing sniper on the grandstand roof, trainer considered the ground too firm and withdrew him before leaving the paddock , act of god including being struck by lightning, alien invasion, stewards disqualified horse for unnecessary use of the whip to gain an advantage, yard put wrong horse on the van meanwhile Jonbon was last seen reading the forum in his stable and collecting all his shit in a bag.

The irony of this one being that it's quite literally JBs best chance of winning, irrespective of how good his chance is on good, soft or heavy ground!
Gaelic Warrior down as having a first time tongue tie
did wear one in FR, but yeah, interesting willie now opting for one.
As has been said previous though, TT can often help just keep the horse more relaxed too and stop the tongue going over the bit ( wonder if that happened when F2F walloped him last season??)

Interesting, has he made a noise and the vet has seen nothing to make an operation worthwhile or are they just being cautious, I'd lean towards the latter as this is a big day for the horse going into festival season so probably a case of not leaving anything to chance.

Lets hope he does relax,some horses hate wearing them, you'd put it on at home first though if you thought that could be a problem, experienced lads make it look simple,unless the horse is being a dick about it.
Edit - Cheers for pointing out he'd worn a TT previously darlojim as I'd never looked at his french form before to notice.

El Fabiolo is being absolutely hammered in the betting this evening. In to 9/4 second fav on the exchange.
The 8/1 NRNB looks very appealing for the QMCC with B365. If he wins tomorrow in any fashion hell be 3/1 at most and will surely be heading here as Willie’s best 2-miler. If he loses he’s more thank likely off to the Ryanair.

PP haven't yet changed their 40-1 TWAF for El Fabiolo to win the Dublin Chase/Champion Chase and 40-1 to win the Dublin Chase/Ryanair.
The value is a lot different when he's 9-4 tomorrow from 8-1.
