Hearing this moning D. Weld strongly considering the Supreme as she will get 2 allowances plus it's slightly shorter!

If she ran in the Supreme she would get 15lbs

would make plenty of sense, all the more so if there happened to be rain forecast for later in the week (Cheltenham week, that is)

 This will be a disaster for me. Cant remember a year when I have backed horses for the wrong race so many times. I know I'm pocket talking, but surely the Triumph looks an easier race regardless of the extra allowances? |

And I have been having a good go at Cue Crad the last couple of weeks. Imagine if this thing came into the Supreme and won and I lost my AP money for him in the Triumph, and my CC Supreme money.
Dont even want to think about it  |

This is great news,took 150 after her last run.
Makes sense to me. now that is pocket talking  |

Am I right in thinking she gets a mares allowance in the Triumph - how much is this?
Duncan, surely she is better on softer going? (which may why she is being touted for Supreme with the watering policy meaning definitely some cut on the opening day as oppose to relying on the weather for Friday - similar argument for running Sam Winner in the Supreme) |

Dermot Weld's Triumph Hurdle hope Unaccompanied is firmly on target for her trip to the Cheltenham Festival.
The Moyglare Stud-owned filly impressed on her hurdling debut at Punchestown in December and proved much too good for her rivals in the Grade One Spring Juvenile Hurdle recently. On both occasions she has been capably ridden by Paul Townend and Stan Cosgrove, racing manager for Moyglare, has revealed he will be in the plate again at Prestbury Park. "She's in great order. I was at Dermot's on Wednesday and he's very happy with her," said Cosgrove. "She's on course for Cheltenham and we hope there is a bit of give in the ground. She's by Danehill Dancer and most of those tend to want some ease. "She's doesn't need it very soft, but she would like a little bit of give. "Paul Townend will definitely ride her at Cheltenham." |

Possibly, possibly not...she won on Good to Firm on Flat...they do seem pretty sure that she's a speed horse tho, so i doubt she'd want it to get testing over the stiffer Old course imo (Leopardstown race was slowly run and a test of speed acording to my sectionals) |
