Baily Green put in a stunning display of jumping this evening in Limerick. He holds an entry for Galway afaik.

Edit: Mouse says he won't go to Galway as he needs good ground and expects Galway to be soft.
Another few days of this weather and I reckon well have good ground.

The 403 and 409 buses are a much better bet than the races special buses (E3.40 vs E9.00)

Foster's Cross e/w in the handicap today & the hurdle on Thursday.
only 5lb higher in each for 1st & 2nd in those races last year, and with the softer ground is more likely to slip the field if given his usually soft lead

Discoteca is a good horse. I was on at fancy prices for the Fred Winter but he didn't get a run. Even giving weight away I can see him going close.

Question for everyone before you back Weld's horses this week. What price are you taking & what price would they be if trained by any other top trainer?

Your understand your point but weld shows a big profit to level stakes basically every year. Every year I convince myself that his runners are underpriced, which they often are, but im still made to regret not backin them
