Its very unlikely that he runs in the race never mind wins it, but you never know. I think he deserves to be in the betting at this stage though, he was one of the best novice hurdlers in Ireland last season and he looks a natural 2 miler. Unless its soft ground at Cheltenham he will probably be kept for the Irish festivals. Well see how he goes tomorrow, he could be the jumps Pythagorean.
That is stupid. I don't think Mr Mouse would of had much say in it though. He doesn't with the other Giggs horses he has anyway. Undoubtedly they will have a host of good prospects but you can never have enough decent staying chasers around can you. Plenty of targets.
Yep you're right. He does deserve a mention. One that I'm keen to see this year is Our Vinnie. He's entered in a beginners chase in a day or two and looked very capable as a novice hurdler at 2 and a half. Fancied for the Neptune only to start lazily and be brought down when progressing through the field. It all depends on how he jumps a fence but he's the type of horse who could do well this year and who will often be a bigger price than he should. Especially if they can find a race or two against a second or third tier Mullins chaser.
Taken another shortie accum after yesterdays big let down on pat garrett (then swansea went on to let me down for 8 team accum ) I dunno if I'm wise but here they are for a €5 accum pays just short of 250 for interest: Defy Logic @ 2/5 (GP) Win or E/W 14:45 BEGINNERS CHASE 2m Harvey Logan @ 6/4 (GP) Win or E/W 16:35 NAT HUNT FLAT 2m Don Cossack @ 8/11 (GP) Win or E/W 15:35 BEGINNERS CHASE 2m 6f Marchese Marconi @ 11/8 (GP) Win or E/W 15:05 AMATEUR STAKES 1m 6f Royal Moll @ 4/6 (GP) Win or E/W 14:05 MARES MAIDEN HURDLE 2m Double Irish @ 4/5 (GP) Win or E/W 13:35 MAIDEN HURDLE 2m Only real worry...Don Cossack FTO. Also have a small stake lucky 15 on: Count Salazar @ 5/1 (GP) Win or E/W 16:05 HANDICAP CHASE 2m 6f Run N Jump @ 8/1 (GP) Win or E/W 15:45 HANDICAP HURDLE 2m Captain Arceus @ 9/2 (GP) Win or E/W 14:15 HURDLE (4YO+) 2m 4f Colbert Station @ 11/2 (GP) Win or E/W 15:15 HANDICAP HURDLE 2m 4f Got badly stung by first lieutenant few weeks back first time out so going against rule the world with the fit Captain Arceus and the fantastic Bryan Cooper. Feel like Count Salazar has to get in front at some stage and have always backed Colbert Station so think that's a decent price even though it's drifted slightly since I put it on. Good Luck all !
6/13 on Betfair - not my kind of odds - but he is the class act of the four runners. Nice little race coming up - got Oscars Well and Twinlight in a forecast
I did of course mean Rule the World - it's not often Derby winners go hurdling! Although quite a few Derby runners have - Anselmo in the 60's is one that springs to mind - and Sea Pigeon of course.

Very tuneful Bob - and it's on MY I-pod. Sung by Take That of course, although I expect your version is just as good
Two above average Irish jumps cards today helped brightened up an otherwise mundane Monday. Don't recall a Monday where as many potential festival beasts have been out? Don Cossack looked good didn't he.
All won with minimum fuss. Rule The Worlds victory a small boost to The New One form. Rule The World hurdles beautifully. Think he could make a smashing chaser.
