Does any one know the short and long term plans for this one.  I dom fancy him for the Ryanair (if he stands up!).  I know its a risk but the price reflects that.  I think he is awesome when he stands up and every time he has fell he has been there abouts.

What top class horses has he managed to beat either over hurdles or fences?

He is such a good horse when he stands up. He really does rip your heart out the way he keeps falling. If he were mine I don't think I could jump him over another fence it's tempting fate tbh.

masterminded....probably right, could not disagree with you one bit.  Its just tempting to keep on his side at big odds in the hope he has learnt how to stand up.  I have just view the races he fell in.....he was all over Ruby Walsh and Citizen Vic when he fell at the last, and I am convinced CV would have won the RSA....but its all ifs and buts, you gotta jump!!

Yes good points Shakespeare. He is so talented like you say but he is starting to become unbackable. If he isn't falling he's being schooled round in a grade 1 at Punchestown Cry. I hope we get to see the best of him again though because on his day he's as good as any.

2- Zaarito

Another candidate for the Grade 1 Paddy Power Dial-A-Bet Chase, Zaarito would be returning to the scene of his first win over fences when he was so emphatic at last years Christmas Festival when landing the Ryan’s Even Cleaners Beginners Chase. Zaarito is clearly an exciting prospect for the season and something to look forward to over the Christmas period.

BJG...thanks for that will look with interest.  I suppose my main question would be what distance will he end up best at. 2m...3m...0r 2m5f.  I personally think he could be best at 2m5f.

2 mile grade 2 in Cork Sunday will hopefully see him out first time but prob not much chance with weather.

Really think he's got a long way to go to beat the best at cheltenham. His jumping will have to improve massively.
