    Talk of UDS v Altior in the Tingle Creek?
    Love Altior but a good UDS on the day surely wins.?

    Minella Rocco also goes for the Gold Cup this year, he's out next week to

    Also read Kim Bailey aiming The Last Samuari for the National again but my not be out until Xmas.


    Seen pics of Faugheen out galloping today looking good.


    Was a lot of fuss made about Melon last season but is he anything real special? I don't think so...

    I picked up the Racing Post 'Jumpers to Follow' 2017-18 season. An interesting read alright but a bit steep at €11.
    Some notes:
    W P Mullins - "Getabird could easily be a Supreme horse given what he showed us in bumpers. Bacardys, Battleford and C'est Jersey will go chasing. Lets Dance, Limini and Augusta Kate (impressive summer development) to target mares hurdles. Nichols Canyon and Penhill to target the Stayers Hurdle. Melon has matured over the summer and will stay hurdling. No plans made for Crack Mome, Cilaos Emery, Bellshill or Bunk off Early. Similar campaign to last year for Un De Sceaux. A mixed hurdles/chase campaign for Vroum Vroum. No decision on distance for Douvan yet. Faugheen looks superb and goes to the Morgiana or Hattons Grace. Min is in great shape."

    Gordon Elliott: " Mares hurdle route for Apples Jade. Fayonagh schooling fantastic and targets the mares novice hurdle. Samcro could be anything in novice hurdles. Poli Roi will be better this season over a longer trip. The Storyteller remains exciting. Sutton Place goes novice chasing. Outlander starts in the JN Wine Chase. Mick Jazz will win a big handicap hurdle after being pulled from the County on the morning of. Blow by Blow and Lucky Pass are novice hurdlers."

    Nicky Henderson: "Looking for an easy prep race before the King George for Might Bite. Altior starts in the Tingle Creek. L'ami Serge goes the Stayers Hurdle route. Very happy with novice hurdler Jenkins and hoping he's back this season but too soon to say. Charli Parcs is top class. Dame de Compagnie, Countister and Melangarie are McManus horses and are the most gorgeous mares Ive seen"

    Others: "Defi Du Seuil is Champion Hurdle bound and starts at the Showcase meeting then Fighting Fifth" - Philip Hobbs
    "Yanworth goes novice chasing at two and half miles-plus. Sceau Royal also to go chasing" Alan King

    Thanks, any talk on Yorkhill?

    Thing with Melon he needed to grow out, theres improvement to come plus he wasn't seen till 2nd half of last season so was a bit rushed for me.

    Mullins never gives much away about the plans for the horses.

    The talked of Yorkhill being a gold cup horse there when he won at Cheltenham.
    I wouldn't back him in it with that side ways jumping on 3m2f.
    Would cost him way to much time.
    2m is enough for him.

    Be nice to see Thistlecrack back but he would necerr have got near Sizing John in the Gold Cup 😆😆😆

    First Cheltenham Antepost bet

    Kesselring for the Supreme Novice @ 50/1 ew

    Been told this is the early Mullins standout for the race. Been bought from the Richard Hannon yard.

    He doesnt know what to do yet. Not ruling out a Champion Hurdle bid.

    I was sure he was going chasing. Talk of the Champion i believe which is wishful thinking from them.

    Just Milly one to keep an eye on ,ridden by Bowen as if he didn't want to win too snugly and ruin her mark and he got her beat. She'll win a few.

    Nice performance form Petit Mouchoir today. Himself v Cilaos Emery at Christmas will be a good race. Ireland's leading Arkle contenders those two.

    He was slick and tidy. Small enough frame to my eyes for fences but so far so good.

    Great nh card tomorrow for this early in the season
