Mullins in today's Post:

'He's in the Arkle and JLT but he is only five and, while he has won both his races over fences and is a young horse with a big future, he won't be getting the allowance he gets in many races at home.'

Absolutely pathetic. He has known all of that for weeks.

Un De Sceaux and Djakadam would have been two of the most exciting runners next week but it is massive odds on that thanks to the trainer neither are going to run.

Backed this horse yesterday. Fortunately waited until NRNB. He's becoming a comedy act now.

You don't need extra races to dilute the quality when you've got Mullins.

I thought Patrick Mullins had said at one of the first preview meetings that Djakadam was unlikely to travel.

No decision has ever been made public.

Mullins has sat on the fence at all the previews I have either watched or read about.

That said several pundits have been very strong on Djakadam's chances but it has always been on the basis of if it turns up.

Was clearly stated weeks ago he might stay at home

I was always under the impression he wasnt going to run. I believe Mullins or Walsh said something along those lines a couple of weeks ago.

Fair enough. Apologies to WPM...  I thought this was the target.

Might stay at home or on the other hand he might run? Isn't that basically sitting on the fence? There has been no marked drift which would confirm that as I said no definite decision has ever been made public.

Powers Gold Cup the ideal target for this horse.

Differentdrum you say You don't need extra races to dilute the quality when you've got Mullins.
You should read that a few times and think about it for a bit. You should really get a prize for that.
