    ‘We’ll see how he is in the coming weeks. If he’s well, I’d say he’ll most likely run in the Cross-Country Handicap Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. He ran ok in his first attempt at that course in December and I’d be hopeful he’ll come on from that and be sharper around there next time as he’ll need to be.​‘
    Great news on the blinkers I'm sure I heard someone saying that his best runs are when the blinkers are on. I don't know how to check this on the RP website.

      Little b next to his weight in the form. You'll see he wore them on 25th September 24 but hasn't worn them since. Most big handicap runs have seen him where them, including when winning the Kerry National in 2022

          The 9-1 NRNB looks tasty now for Vanillier.
          Only given 147 for the National.

            Would they do him dirty?

            I know they 'can' do that but I guess it's rare?

                100% Quevega! And Stumptown given 157, I know who I’d have favourite between the 2 and it isn’t Stumptown
