    I'm not even going to give a selection, but rather kick off Sundays discussion as follows:



    According to the Racing Post website, 19% of people think Unaccompanied will win the Irish Champion Hurdle.



    According to a statement from authorities in both Ireland and the United Kingdom, those 19% of people have been swiftly recaptured.






    Welcome back Hurricane, and best of luck everyone. I'll add a selection the morning

    Love that race, the way he cruised up on the final bend with Ruby motionless and McCoy and Johnson throwing the kitchen sink in <laugh>

    Love to gauge some opinion on the 3.05. Obviously we've seen Quel is not sitting on the fence <laugh> and I know the word in Ireland is that Boston Bob is Special with a capital S. But it does seem to me that he's giving a way a lot of weight to a couple of very classy horses. The booking of Ruby on Boston Bob would seem to indicate that Mullins likes him over Make your Mark but at the minute the market disagrees. Throw in Sea of Thunder who would have hacked up around Cheltenham LTO but for falling at the last when 6l clear and going away from a decent field. Whatsmore there looks a couple who could be open to improvement though I'm not as up to date with Irish racing as some on here hence my asking. Looks a great race though! I hope Boston Bob can win because it would be great to have another Irish star to look forward to before Cheltenham. The neptune looks to be one of the races of the festival at this stage.

    Make Your Mark is a Gigginstown Stud owned horse - Davy Russell rides for them so Ruby doesn't get the pick of the two <ok>

    what does look significant is Russell is on Make Your Mark over Sea Of Thunder who as you say would have hacked up at Chelts yesterday

    I was all over Make Your Mark the other day but finding it hard to ignore the Grade 1 form now and I think I will end up changing my mind and going for Boston Bob

    I hope that Make Your Mark quickens it half a mile from home and stretches clear, only to be outstayed by Boston Bob.


    I seriously think Make your Mark would make a lovely Supreme Novice. I covered him for very small stakes at daft odds the other day just in case he does step down in trip, purely on the basis that I thought he looked to have a fair amount of speed- almost pulling his way to the front, but he did also stay on very well.

    Good Irish card tomorrow.


    With regards to Hurricane Fly, will he improve for tomorrows reappearance or will he be spot on straight away?

    <cheers> I know I was hugely disappointed today! He just doesnt look intrested at the moment! Ground was good for him, maybe a little soft but your hardly ever get ideal ground but as you say hope he starts dropping down the weights, he just needs one win to get the ball rolling again.
