    Is Soumillon a cocky plonker or was Dabirsim not good enough?

    He is a plonker simple as that. The horse is very good though. Pulled hard early on and still beaten by a very good horse today (just beaten by Power in Ireland last season). He will come on for the run as well.

    Anyone think the John Oxx filly Rubina might have improved enough to make the frame at Leopardstown? The O'Brien horses, (save UP) look exposed, Fire Lily sets a good standard but is unlikely to have improved a huge amount, and Oxx horses invariably improve from 2 to 3. Looked a tempting price at 9/1 I felt.

    Better news, apparently he was airlifted to hospital for a precautionary MRI scann as he was knocked unconscious.
    They quite rightly dont take any chances these days do they.
    Seems he is fine apart from a very bad headache.

    Surely you will be hoping that Fire Lily boosts the Maybe form. She looks a beast of a filly in the paddock!

    Hoping for another O'Brien shock next in the shape of ATHENS but Oxx will probably spoil my party with Call To Battle.
