    Tragic,especially down South where over 50% of <25's are jobless in Andulacia for example..about 25% employment in that bracket on average nationally and loads moving back in with their parents...not the same social security cover over there as here.

    Anyone think that Un Atout travels like he could be suited to a Neptune?


    His action reminds me an awful lot of Simonsig.


    He possesses the speed to run in a Supreme Novice, obviously the concern would be how he handles quicker going and a quicker pace. He hurdles very, very well though.

    The thing in our favour is that the Supreme doesn't have many massive Gigginstown hopes at the moment, and Mullins has Champagne Fever and Pont Alexandre who should both end up in the Neptune/Albert Bartlett.

    People are right to question the strength of todays race but he won with so much in hand its almost scary. He might be a really smart animal.

    He was only 5 seconds quicker than the 115 rated winner of the next race and had little more than an exercise canter. 8/1 second fav for the Supreme is a joke, 14/1 for the Neptune makes more appeal but still feels very short. He'll make a lovely chaser one day though. But backing him ante post for the festival is fraught with danger,no idea if he will get there and if he does, which race? I'd much rather wait for the day now, the value has gone.

    Think the owners do like to be represented in as many races as possible. So hopefully goes supreme route. Only small stakes at the prices so can right it off if he goes neptune.

    Pique Sous could be a bit of a dark horse for the Supreme, think he will be Mullins only other runner, ran a blinder in the bumper last year so no worries about the ground or the track, got beat first time over hurdles but won very easily last time, will need to improve his jumping but I could see him being much better off a strong pace and more importantly, on good ground. He has went under the radar this season and Walsh will more than likely pick Dodging Bullets over him but 25/1 could be worth an e/w bet.
