    Really fancied smiles for miles in the next good bet but withdrew so im willing to take a small chance on the big lay off mystical appeal got 14s ew earlier and the market is showing signs of a liking mystical looks a cut above the field there are two down sides the inexperienced claimer and the lay off

    Not convinced by The Tullow Tank's form - I think Moyle Park wasn't right the last day and 2nd place King Of The Picts is not exactly top notch. Vautour all the way for me today.

    I dont know how you can even look at those bad english meetings when there is class Irish racing on a Sunday, not just today, every sunday I see you tipping some badthing at a shocking track and you never mention the class stuff in Ireland.

    I know you like your low grade stuff, looking for the next double figure shot that is down below its last winning mark, in conditions its proven in, preferably with a claimer, but you ought to have a look at the quality animals once in a while, they are much better to watch <ok>

    Not big fields but who wants big fields anyway, its all about the class

    The Tullow Tank vs Vautour

    Don Cossack vs Ballycasey

    Only 4 serious Cheltenham novice contenders and First Lieutenant will probably be placed wherever he runs in march.

    Well done Boris. Excellent shout in the juvenile.

    Now for a possible battle royale.

    Vautour was VERY fluent today - superb at his hurdles. Will be rightly favourite for the Supreme after that. TTT for the Neptune maybe?

    Vautour delivers. Ruby dictated and that horse looks smart with a huge capital S

    Not been up too long (went to a party in Cherbourg last night) so not had time to look at the races. Just a quick double for me, for an interest:

    Leopardstown 15.50 First Lieutenant 5/2 and
    Southwell 15.35 Thatchmaster 13/8

    Smart ride from Ruby too, The Tank doesnt do anything quickly but slowish horses have won the Supreme before, Cinders, Al Ferof and Champagne Fever recently and Noland a few years ago so he might still run there, a stronger pace and the uphill finish I dont think he will be far away from Vautour.

    They will be chasing Western Boy in vain tho.

    Do you think they will let Ruby away with that again in the next?

    TTT looked to get a little outpaced a couple out. I think there's possibility of a closer finish at Cheltenham. They both pulled clear nicely and I definitely think they should be at the forefront of anyone's mind when considering the Supreme. If connections of either look at the Neptune I think they are barking up the wrong tree.

    Yeah Bob, after all the Neptunes has RED SHERLOCK in it <laugh>

    Never get Don Cossack right but will oppose today with Ballycasey.
