    Vroum Vroum would get done by a proper top horse. She found surprisingly little in the maresevent at Cheltenham, same today and I'd be certain she wouldn't enjoy that hill again at the end of 3m.

    The only thing is- what good 3m hurdler is there? IMO Harry looks top class but him aside, it's threadbare.

    She's a funny horse- travels well in all her races, seemingly in between trips though. Doubt she's good enough for 2m Champion Hurdle, might not want 3.

    I think Harry would have her measure up that hill.

    But hey- she's consistent and likeable- take nothing away from her.

    Djakdam now a terrible price for the Lexus, Mullins been running riots in mug races for days, now this been backed into 5/4 for the big grade Grade 1, a deep field despite lack of superstar.

    Screaming turned over.

    Djakadam just lacks that gear doesn't he Tizzard won't be overly worried from that I'd say! Super ride by young Kennedy, 17 years old only, hard to know way he rides. Blessed with class jockeys here mind you.

    Not doing a big **** in his yard like Bobs Worth before the 2014 Gold Cup then LOL

    Thistlecrack looks special but Gold Cup will test his jumping.

    Outlander has that extra year on Djakadam, Djak is still a pup, he's 8 in a few days and his best days may still lie ahead.

    Have no idea what the cut throat O'Leary's see in Bryan Cooper to still use him as retained rider.
    Dreadful jockey!

    Ballyluskey takes the Limerick bumper well enough. Doesn't look that strong of form on the bare face of it either but he travelled well and kept on well enough. Pershing Missile plugged on one paced for 3rd so no returns but a decent debut.

    Tal id expect Cooper to get the boot soon enough with young Jack and David Mullins sharing rides.
    Elliot there on RTE ' I was out last night and may have insulted a few people which I apologise for'.Id say he is some man for the gargle!I lost my stones today-all of my Willie profits made the first two days handed straight back to Mr Power:(

    Seems to have lost his bottle since he was badly injured a year or so back. Never confident with him in a tight finish.
