    Front 2 different mustard there. Nothing has changed my view that Rolling Star wins the Triumph - certainly between him and Our Conor

    Great ride by Ruby to win the Adonis on Irish Saint, but was hard at work a long way from home, can't see him winning the Triumph on that run, even though he's a slick jumper.

    L'Unique might be a decent bet for the Fred Winter - she was out of her depth there

    That race was run at a crawl tbh and I wouldn't take the form at face value.

    Still a form boost for Rolling Star though.

    I very much doubt that Irish Saint will even go for the Triumph. Far West will though, and has to have a cracking chance.

    From Sporting Life: "Trainer Willie Mullins equalled Aidan O'Brien's record as he saddled his 155th winner of the jumps season at Fairyhouse."

    I never knew AOB was such a prolific NH trainer - knew all about Istabraq of course but 155 winners in a season is pretty impressive.

    What are we fancing in the Bobbyjo Chase lads? Tricky little contest, can't help thinking Roi De Mee might be the one
