    Walk in the park progeny don’t necessarily need it do they ?

    The ground at Limerick is normally bog at Christmas but it was nowhere near heavy this time and she looked perfectly fine on it
    Gavin said in recent stable tour needs soft ground or won’t run & really a 3 miler

      Yep. 2 1/2 on Soft around Cheltenham would be foot perfect. Get those conditions and she's going to go off a short price. Hopefully the weather (wet) will be kind once again.

      • I've got way too much on Bioluminescence - double backed her NRNB at 9/2 each way and she's potentially going to go off far too short

        Classic case of liking her a lot more before backing

          I really like her. I'll be hoping the ground comes up soft enough for her though.

          I can't cash out anyway, so stuck with the bet regardless.

            If it does come up soft once again then she'd surely have a favourites chance. I'd expect Walsh to ride her as well under those conditions.

            • Mark on Bioluminescence and Paul on Dinoblue probably makes sense regardless

              Not sure Allegorie De Vassy is where Paul would be if he got the choice

              Not really worth speculating on now though - would move the needle though

              • Spindleberry got an entry next week.
                Not Willies style to run so close, but she's still in there and the extra experience would have been needed anyway.

                  Was one of the Mares I had high hopes for this season, but huge shame she's only managed to get out once, and was pulled from her last race due to the ground being too quick and its Good again at Thurles (no idea whether theyre due rain). Time definitely running out for her though
