Oh willie

Hes had a mare there

You cant say things like that and not run the horse

I'd say it's a ground decision. No point jarring him up . He'll have the winner anyway. At least we'll find out if EIR is targeted at the Mares Hurdle or Champion Hurdle.

I actually quite like nube negra

Will be loads of pace on with allaho and first flow

Will be set up nicely for him and chacun

And to me chacun looked like he'd already had a long season at Cheltenham

[Quevega]

Can't find any comments from Mullins regarding Appreciate It.
Do we think he may run Friday vs Bob ???
He's 6-1 at the minute.

I agree with Nube Negra. I think he was a bit unlucky in the Champion Chase and I think he will run a big race.

Gentleman de mee 8/1 5 places

Nube Negra 5/1

Gold cup

What's your/people's experience of winning on price boosted doubles? Whenever I see something like that, I immediately think one of them is going to lose and I steer clear! For what it's worth, I like envoi for his race so in my mind it's chacun that's the losing leg in that bet.

Minella Indo a non-runner on Wed, bruised foot.

Funny you should ask that, I was looking earlier at Skys boosted doubles for Cheltenham just gone, as I kept a record of them this year:

Envoi/Shishkin (2/1 to 7/2)
CPS/Monkfish (5/1)
CPS/Appreciate It (3/1 to 6/1)
Honeysuckle/Monkfish (5/1 to 8/1)
Concertista/Monkfish (5/2 to 4/1)
Energumene/Al Boum Photo (10/1 to 14/1)
CPS/Easysland (11/4 to 5/1)
Kilcruit/Thyme Hill (14/1)

So just the 1 winner from the 8, although if you backed them all for a tenner, you're a tenner up! Not sure what it's like in previous years.

Minella Indo out

Aye that was a tough one to take! I know antepost is what it is but things like this don’t help.

If he runs Friday hope Bob Ollinger skelps him! His slash in price for the mid race doesn’t suggest an injury but no news yet.

I wonder if he has looked at the entries and thought he’s got the 2m race sewn up without Appreciate It so deciding to have a crack at Bob O with his best novice hurdler?

He's been taken out of Friday's race.
