Has ruby been confirmed for melon yet ?
With my original fancy movewiththetimes out I'm starting to side with bunk off early who has been very impressive in his 2 runs given how keen he has been and still travels well deep into the race, surely a fast pace of the supreme will be perfect.
Looked likely winner last time until bacardys out stayed him over a slightly longer trip

Posted link in antepost thread where ruby says he must decide between BOE and Melon

If he chooses BOE he will be 4/1 and so will melon I would think

He looks a speedily bred type wouldnt be my sort of bet to get up that hill after a strongly run race.

Would anyone around the dublin area know of a decent relatively central pub to watch the racing tomorrow with a bit of atmosphere?

I've only ever watched it on Gold Cup day in Ryans on Camden St and it was decent.

It's been a while but Gin Palace on Abbey Street is good as in general it is known as a racing pub because of the bookies right beside it. Also have half decent food and usually some eye candy working there

Just down from that I set up camp during Chelt in the Lotts back in the day too, the tiny snug bar part.

Ulster bank are clueless then.
