KEMPES OR PSYCHO WHICH EVER RUBY RIDES

OTNI IS IT DOUBTFUL COUPLE US THINKN HEADN DOWN

i'd say it is doubtful for sunday at the moment mate...
so much rain and snow last two days i believe it is unraceable right now so will need a couple of dry days.....

fingers crossed...intend to go all three days myself...

CHEERS ILL BE IN TOUCH IF GOING MEET UP FOR A FEW BEERS

Psycho can only win with Ruby up, so will wait as regards that.

^^^Is Ruby jumping the fences iyo ?:|

good stuff Norn let's do that...you can mail me on the website address or just give us a shout on here before you go!

Deep - the horse only goes for Ruby ;)
Saying that this will be off imo. :(

Yeah i know what you're referring to Down, just p1ssing about - I have a v.chequered history with Psycho :|

Nosey, do us a favour & walk the course will ya :p

OTNI WILL DO M8 . HAVE SAY RUBY HAS GREAT RECORD ON PSYCHO ID LOVE SEE EITHER AT AINTREE

Deep - the medication must be waring off :^0

nosey - we musta had about 2 inchs of rain today?

Psycho with Ruby - 1,1,2,1,1
w/o - 0,0,0,6,F,2,8,6,2,0,5,7

at least that i'd say..

I keep it track standard ( lazy with the mower in fairness )

Ask Nibbledat if you want any gardening tips imo - Mrs.Nibb has always got him in there ;)

Guess who was on those w/o Ruby 2nds :| That weight-rise fcuked up his chances in the Pierse :_|

COLM MURPHY is upbeat about the chances of Zaarito, one of fifteen horses to stand their ground after the forfeit stage for Sunday's Grade 1 Powers Gold Cup at Fairyhouse.

Zaarito has taken a couple of high profile falls in his career, including at the final fence when challenging in the Grade 1 Dr P.J. Moriarty Novice Chase at Leopardstown in February, although he appears non the worse for that mishap according to his trainer.

"He's in great order, I'm very happy with him. I'm praying for a bit of sunshine but then again he's gone on all ground over the winter," said Murphy on Tuesday afternoon.

The trainer added: "We're hoping for a clear round and if he has one I think he can go close."

He looks likely to be joined in the line-up by the Willie Mullins pair Kempes and Shakervilz, while also among the entries are the Adrian Maguire-trained Let Yourself Go, joint top-rated with Shakervilz off a mark of 143.

Noel Meade is triple-handed in the entries with Fisher Bridge, Nicanor and Jered, while Tony Martin has entered recent Clonmel winner Psycho. See U Bob is an unlikely runner according to trainer Paul Nolan.

plenty of rain and a bit of snow last night but looks like being a dry day here with temps up too so a couple of days like that and it will be fine imo....

Copper Bleu gave another boost to Zaarito's form from last season wannit.

What is it with Colm Murhpy and talented horses who cant jump ?

Listening to Meade yesterday, Jered and Nicanor are unlikely to run.

Wasnt Joncol aimed for this?

lashing rain :-(
