Only trouble is, we have the big shadow of Lossiemouth looming over her and every other Mare again.
And BDA.
I doubt Giggs will be in a rush to send her for another crack at the Champion Hurdle and I can't imagine Elliott will want to throw two big darts at the Mares, which is part of my thinking Wodhooh is a Stayers horse....
Not sure who has the baton for the April 25 Yankee but there are two very interesting races happening at Fairyhouse on Sunday. Firstly, Spindleberry in the 2.22 WillowWarm Gold Cup (Grade 1). If she wins this I suspect she will go much shorter for the Mares Chase in March 26. Secondly, the 4.10 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Honeysuckle Mares Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) which looks very competitive and the winner will go shorter for either the BANC (The Big Westerner) or the Mares Hurdle (Sixandahalf/Air Of Entitlement/Maughreen/Aurora Vega/Karoline Banbou). If any of these are in the thinking then might be an idea to go now.

Yeah it’s been mentioned, though I think Romeo Coolio is expected to be Elliots Arkle horse…
I'm thinking it might be time to accept Romeo Coolio is not absolutely top drawer G1. He seems to find one or two better in all the big G1 races. I accept he won the Future Champions Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) but that was a very weak G1. Might he be the right fit for the new 2m4 G2 Novices Handicap Chase on the Thursday ? Similar to Firefox this year.

That may well be the case but I know they always expected his game to be chasing...
Romeo Coolio has always struck me as being a bit soft but chasing may be the making of him. Regardless of that, I'd be surprised if Brighterdaysahead is aimed at the Arkle. She's already shown that 2 miles at Cheltenham isn't her thing and, with the ultimate aim being the Gold Cup, I'd make the Mares Chase the likely target next March unless the BANC turns out to be extremely weak.

I'm with you Archie. In my opinion BDA options are #1 Mares Chase and #2 BANC. But I don't think she will win either. I really fancy Spindleberry for the Mares Chase and The Big Westerner for the BANC. Mares Mares Mares everywhere.........

I’d suggest that to part with hard cash this far out you’re reliant on a fairly accurate 46 week weather forecast…
A week to go for the start of Punchestown , with a few big Runners entered up on the Tuesday ..
............ Kopek des Bordes , Salvator Mundi , Fact to File , Marine Nationale , Ballyburn , Lecky Watson to name a few ... .
And two that interest me for the 2000 Guineas .. at opposite ends of the market .
......... Field of Gold - fav. - 9-4 . ,, Wimbledon Hawkeye - o/s. 50-1.. .
….nothing obvious on the novice hurdles front could mean a bit of value there but it comes with high risk.
Doctor du Mesnil 20-1 (Turners) maybe worthy of consideration, going under the radar after impressively winning the 2m 3f Cork Bumper a few days ago (worth a watch), 365 cut to 20-1 yesterday after opening 25s, Unibet opened 33s and have also cut to 20s.
Hope JackieMoon33 doesn’t mind me quoting him as saying this one is ‘very exciting’, his diary entry is worth a read.
