downallstar, why do i get the feeling you'll be making your way to naas tomorrow :)

Def be going tomorrow. ;)

River Lianne runs in the Beg Chase also, nice double for the yard?

How fit and ready is Traff, Swin? Ta.

not fully wound up...just a prep for the Hennessey... if ground is sticky and test of stamina he has his chance otherwise 2 mile is a little short for him... i'd be looking at Made In Tiapan for this, i think 4paddy struggles in small fields

^ correct

Cheers, GL.

Yeah, am having doubts over forpady already :^0
Depends on how much rain falls.
Need a proper look.

Slippers riding Forpady?

Questionable tissue there Swinia. Betting to the guts of 180% in a 9 runner grade3 with four no hopers is ambitious.

Swinia you should apply to the Rp with those overrounds

If the ground cuts up Joncol, if not Forpady.

Reaaly like Joncol :|

Joncol here also, not short of pace, had a spin already, ground looks ideal.

traff prepping, forpady better in big fields/stronger pace, tranquil has Q's to answer esp on soft, MIT is honest and will have a crack, query on class tho.

Where did Joncol have his spin? And does he not need a lot further?

* sorry not had a spin, dont know why i said that, meant shown he can be readied fresh :|

Pi$$ing down last hour, very heavy.

Its clearing north fairly fast now the rain.


FPTP to be pulled out if too much rain.

PN said trip too short for Joncol but he just needs an outing before he tackles the big races to straighten him out. I remember collecting on him in Naas earlier in the year at 1/3 and my heart in my mouth as he seemed to be labouring mid way before powering clear in the straight.

if joncol wins this i'll run around the track 2moro naked

Why would you only make him 11/4 then?

he's the 2nd highest rated....

Surely minor things like official ratings don't matter if he has no chance. Anyhow think you can afford to push a few out from your opening chalk.

Good stuff Swinia,

You will run around the track naked if an 11/4 shot on your tissue wins!

Still lashing in Naas. I like Tranquil Sea in the race, hit the bar a couple of times last season and could have a good campaign. O'Grady's horses are running well too!

Sorry to see Eddie O'Grady's former wife die so young earlier in the week Judy. Sympathy to her son Jonathon and the rest of her family.

I would say Paddy but the ground is really not in his favour, Trafford Lad for me but whats laurence Butler like as a trainer,his new to the training game, whats the background on him,anyone know?

r.i. p.

it would be nice to see trafford lad win for his new trainer

Cant believe its nt priced up :0

soap....also Amber and Lucy......service 2morrow afternoon.rip.


not priced up due to possible nr ?

forpaddy is non runner

Tranquil Sea for me with the weight he gets.

Joncol.

With you Sint !

I think thats well factored into the prices now

at the prices I like trafford lad

best form last season was at start of season- though i still think that race at punchestown when ruby got him the race awarded over rare bob was one of the worst decisions by stewards i'd ever seen...

....until of course dar re mi

Good run from Joncol :D A good sign for the rest of the season imo

Sint

Hope you took the 14's ;)

Would have found out for definite in Cork today.
Always a good sign when the hotel is booked ;)

Cool, keep us informed CMIYC

Yes a complete shoe in, the rest shouldn't even bother turning up.

Frank must be in the no

Heard over the weekend that Northern Alliance is a definite runner in the PP.

Naas never looked after the pensioners on Saturday or the people who pay hard cash up front for Annual badges.

Adults €15 in. Free food or drink voucher for a fiver. Also a free €5 bet with the bookies.

Pensioners €10 in. No concessions.

Next meeting I advise pensioners to go in the Adults gate and save yourselves a fiver!!

This lad Lar Butler who looks after Trafford Lad has many years expierence as Dusty Sheehy's head lad.

On ATR this morning TONY
