Don't have a clue but very interested to know about the first two mentioned

I've been waiting for Urubu D'Irlande of Paul Nicholls all season, but hasn't had a single entry.

Maybe waiting for good ground for West Wizard?  His price for the Supreme has been pretty consistent on here for the last few weeks, so I don't think there'd be any injury.

Nicholls responded to me on twitter regarding UDI - said he'd be running in a 2.4m novice hurdle in January. Weather may have delayed that as he seems to want better ground.

Danny mullins also responded and said golantilla will be out early feb. Not sure if that would be too late to make the supreme or Neptune??

He's by Presenting so that stacks up and hell get it in RSA I would imagine

He has said that and he does want better ground - just makes you wonder why he didn't give him 2 runs before weather turned. I'm on at really nice prices and also in the double with Faugheen so really want him to win, but i won't be backing again. You can completely disregard horses with less than 3 chase runs in the RSA, especially one like Ballycasey who lacks all round race experience

i was impressed with his debut,made up 15 length in no time and jumped well !
Report Tory • January 7, 2014 10:53 PM GMT
No doubt it was extremely impressive and he looks a very good horse. But (and i do say this with a heavy heart) if you backed horses in the RSA with less than three runs over fences for last ten years or so then you'd be a much poorer man

Very true....and I'm a Ballycasey man. Time is running out.

Me too B. He missed the gig last season and you have to be concerned that he is difficult to train.
