Willie mullins seems to have great faith in him and has declared him as his sole runner in the drinmore. I was very impressed with his debut win over fences which was ran in a quick time and seems to have gone widely un noticed. He hadHad futramic more than 20 lengths behind which ties in with the no more heroes form and Im going to go out on a limb and say he wins the drinmore this weekend. and go towards the head of the market for the jlt and rsa.
I know last year's winner valseur lido ran in the jlt but willie always had the rsa in mind and giggingstown wanted don poli in the race. Since that valseur lido beat don poli and wounded warrior.
Willie has shaneshill, alvissio ville and rois des francs/ tell us more for the jlt. Imo rsa the target for outlander.

Milsean has had a set back so not sure when he comes back. I have backed kilultagh vic at 16s abre de vies at 80.0 and black hercules at 40.0 but iv left out pont alexandre because iv heard nothing but negative comments from willie and rich ricci since he's been on the side lines. Moyle park also looks to be out of action again. And aurko on French form looks to be more of a jlt type, although as rich said he could be anything.
Was deffinately impressed by outlander though and can't believe that it's seemed to go completely un noticed. Hes already beat no more heroes over hurdles and although no more heroes had a dirty scope. He was very inconsistent over hurdles Imo. |

Scooby I've been thinking around the same lines after Cheltenham last yr . I backed him on bet fair a few times around 50/1 . I can't see him running on Sunday just because of his price alone .

Surely it has to be shorter than Free Expression

I agree Quevega I was very suprised at the opening price of 6/1 compared to the rest of the field. May well be right regards to not running in the drinmore but will be interesting to see if the odds are revised in the next few days because willie always seems to target the race.
Paddies been shortest price 14/1 all summer for the rsa. |

Think you're thinking along the right lines but looking at the wrong angle??? Gigginstown call the shot so whatever horses Mullins has for the RSA is irrelevant imo. Tell Us More, Outlander, No More Heroes, Milsean, Lieutenant Colonel, Lord Scoundrel, Roi Des Francs and maybe Alpha Des Obeaux the Gigginstown options for the novice chases. Like Mullins, they'd want a runner in each of those races. As they've shown with Sir Des Champs, Don Poli, Valseur Lido in the past as well as Tell Us More they will do what is best for them in terms of having runners regardless of who else Mullins has.
No More Heroes look the Gigginstown number one followed by Outlander. Given both respective targets last season were the Albert Bartlett and Neptune, I'd find it surprising if they decided to either switch distance or step them up which is unlikely as Cooper surely will have his say on NMHs. OF course, they've still got to keep producing on the track! |

Agree with what your saying cause and effect but Imo opinion if outlander runs he beats no more heroes then surely they want there best horses in the race??. Milsean is out till atleast January. Rois des francs 8snt a word beater Imo. Alpha des obeaux if he places in Hatton grace stays over hurdles. Lieutenant colonel was poor chasing last year. And tell us more I will have to reserve judgement until he's on the track.
