Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Andrew Lynch says Jezki by no means certain to run in Bumper. Davy Russell asks will he be running in JP's colours!
19m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdail

Fickle Fortune misses Cheltenham Bumper and goes to Aintree.
21m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile
Bumper chat... Davy Russell worries Moscow Mannon ridden by 7lb claimer on the day. However, best Irish hope.
23m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

@tommytilz apparently Bog Warrior will be aimed at Powers Gold Cup
In reply to Tom Tilsley
24m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Break coming up, will ask Davy Russell if FL could go Jewson route...
28m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile
Power says there won't be much between them at Cheltenham
29m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Robbie Power likely to be on Big Zeb. He knew after 3 fences last time he was in trouble. Power was working too hard too far out.
30m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Andrew Lynch reports Sizing Europe in cracking form ahead of tilt at Champion Chase. Horse has a 'savage heart'...
32m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Russell says that whichever doesn't go for RSA will be favourite for the Jewson
33m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Davy Russell says that it is highly unlikely that both First Lieutenant & Sir Des Champs will both run in RSA Chase at #cheltenhamfestival
35m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Does anyone know if First Lieutenant is still in the Jewson?
37m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Russell suggests that if he confirms it, Gigginstown plans for RSA may change again
38m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Davy Russell has been on the phone 2 the Irish handicapper this evening 2 establish whether Grade One winners have 2 carry penalty in Jewson
43m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Andrew Lynch likes Monksland ew in the Neptune as he is getting better and better.
44m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Robbie Power fancies Fingal Bay in the Neptune. Hates riding horses that find nothing of the bridle and doesn't fancy Simonsig
48m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Davy Russell feels Boston Bob will go for Albert Bartlett and not Neptune. He is pencilled in to ride Make Your Mark who is an improver...
52m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Shark Hanlon says Hurricane Fly is the best he's seen in a long time.
53m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Robbie Power feels Oscars Well will run well but cannot beat Hurricane Fly in the #championhurdle
55m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

All panel feel Hurricane Fly has no dangers in #championhurdle
57m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile


Davy Russell says Hurricane Fly was phenomenal last time and feels nothing can touch him bar accidents!
1h Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Davy Russell is also in Peddlers Cross camp. Bog Warrior won't run in the #racingpostarkle
1h Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Andrew Lynch feels Peddlers Cross will outstay Sprinter Sacre in the #racingpostarkle
1h Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Robbie Power says that Steps For Freedom is a better horse going to the Festival this year than Oscars Well was 12 months ago...
1h Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Robbie Power says decision 2 not run Steps 4 Freedom tomorrow @ Dundalk is simply because he doesn't need it. On good ground 'hard to beat'
1h Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Davy Russell says he has a tough choice in Supreme between Midnight Game and Trifolium. Leaning towards the former because of reputation...
1h Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile
Off and running at first preview night of the year in Tipperary
1h Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

@AlanBlueSquare @helynsar interesting... Davy Russell was convinced penalty applied
In reply to Alan Alger
1h Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile


@AlanBlueSquare so if For Non Stop wins the Grade One tomorrow, he doesn't carry a penalty?
In reply to Alan Alger
1h Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Charity bets... Davy Russell Midnight Chase in Gold Cup, Robbie Power Steps For Freedom in Supreme, Andrew Lynch Salisfy in Foxhunter
7m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile
Davys biggest fancy Fists of Fury in the 4miler

Russell says Magnamimity has no chance in Gold Cup as he doesn't run
9m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Shark thinks Midnight Chase can only win if the others fall!
10m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Davy Russell's view cannot see Kauto winning after such hard races this season. Long Run likely winner, but clock says Midnight Chase value
13m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Andrew Lynch thinks Long Run will win
14m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Power feels this years race will be won by a 25/1 shot. Possibly Burton Port who is 'going well at Henderson's'
15m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Robbie Power feels Long Run is very vulnerable. He feels there is a shock on the cards this year.
18m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Shark feels Quel Esprit has absolutely no chance
19m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Panel now moving onto #cheltenhamgoldcup and Davy's cup is overflowing
21m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile
Andrew Lynch also puts up Daroun of Mullins' as a bit of value
23m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

@IainJTurner thanks Iain... Davy Russell didn't agree but he does now
In reply to Iain Turner
24m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

@owen4_official Russell thinks Minsk has been lame all season
In reply to owen4_official
25m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Robbie Power feels Minsk has to show something special at Fairyhouse. Grumeti best of English for him.
27m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Good words for Shadow Catcher and Daroun in #triumph
30m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Davy Russell says he's got no chance and is lame
31m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Triumph Hurdle: Shark feels Minsk is Irish banker of the meeting. Will win at Fairyhouse and be 1/2 price.
35m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Shark says mole in Mullins camp says Thousand Stars 'gone sour in recent weeks'
36m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Robbie Power says Ruby thinks Big Bucks could win a Champion with no Hurricane Fly in the #Worldhurdle
37m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Andrew Lynch hopeful Voler La V can run a place at best
38m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile
Back to World Hurdle and panel feel Big Bucks may not have it all his own way.
40m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Russell hardly bullish about First Lieutenant as he is worried about constant back problems. Concerned whether treatment still effective.
42m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Half-time chat with Davy Russell doesn't rule out FL to go Jewson but feels Mouse won't budge and he'll end up in RSA and SDC Jewson
48m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Shark: if Nicholls or Willie had Rubi Light he'd be 2/1
49m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Robbie Power fears Albertas Run while Andrew Lynch is massive Rubi Light fan - cannot see Albertas finishing on front of him
51m Bill Esdaile Bill Esdaile @BillEsdaile

Back in action with #Ryanair chase and Davy Russell feels Rubi Light is the one to beat...
