4houghts Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) Douvan 10-1 for Ryanair looks interesting considering a lot of the horses in that race could be going elsewhere and with Chacun Pour Soi being mullins hot prospect in the champion chase doubt he will run the both Edited December 2, 2019 by 4houghts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine as he won over 2miles 5 in the Ballymore beating Champ this year that he would more likely be aimed at the RSA like Champ. If he was not so great at jumping he could take the easier JLT route you will be unlikely to know before he has a couple of runs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philinvicta Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I see City Island id 25/1 for RSA as opposed to Champ which is 7/2 (he has proved his jumping) which could look a good price if he goes for that race having beat Champ fair and square in the Ballymore. I think he is owned by the guy that owns Ballymore which is why he was targeted at that race last year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you have a strong opinion then it might be best to wait for the big Christmas races and possibly NRNB (prices will be worse) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You now have the old Cheltenham sweat of a great price hoping she will go for the race you have backed her for, What you really need is for Honeysuckle to come out and win the Irish Champion in a canter and they declare for the Champion Hurdle putting doubts in Epatantes connections minds for the champion 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all Christmas has done this year is to confuse things as a lot of good horses have been beaten. By this time you expect the novices to be getting everything sorted and showing their true colours and this year the only one who has seemed to do that is Faugheen and maybe Notebook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Sari just ran a poor race there int eh 1.45 Well compared to a lot of the others Faugheen looked good though he is 12 in a few days. I would hope they would really get to the bottom of Samcros problems as he seems to cruise and then fall in a hole at the end of his races like he has a wind problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
