    If no one steps forward I'm happy to have a go but if any of the more knowledgeable folks (and there's plenty) want to put themselves forward then i won't be offended !

            Problem with Salvator is he's very likely to run this month, so his price is likely much shorter or we'll be glad to not have him anyway.

                Good point. Does it have to be done at the end of the month?

                  No - Ice could go full punterorplonker and do it in the next five minutes if he likes

                  the moscow flyer is on 12th Jan. so still be early enough.

                    Might be best to at least wait until the decs of the race. Imagine he doesn't get declared for it.

                          yeah, you'd want word that he's ok really Run4Home ? (salvator)
                          and whilst you're at it Kargese ?

                              Tough gig this month, what with a fair few prices contracting from the Christmas periods racing, and the racing in January where prices could disappear before month end, when the yankee is put up.

                              The one problem with Salvator Mundi is he is probably one for the Moscow Flyer in the middle of January. He needed to be in one before now. Unless the yankee goes up before the MF just to get Salvator in?


                              The Jukebox Man, Better Days Ahead & Croke Park have all just contested decent enough trials for the BANC. I'd be looking at one of them. Personal preference is for Better Days Ahead (16/1), with course winning form and a performance against Croke Park that suggested 'the hill' will suit him, not to mention Gordon's words after the race. He won't run again until the DRF I imagine.

                              With the uncertainty of what is going to happen with Lossiemouth & Brighterdaysahead I'd say July Flower could be worth a shot too. 12's generally but up to 20's still on show. Again, she's not going to run in January either, as she could well go straight there and Henry has a good recent record in the race.
