Nice to get a little bit of extra info from the Mullins stable, its clear from reading that there are some he fancies,some he doesnt know what to do with(Faugheen!!,Vroum Vroum Mag) and some that just arent fit(Shanesill)...
I have the Fly backed antepost at 12,s and 10,s...Faugheen is evs fav he is a machine BUT..unless its a huge bet(and he wins) wont be getting rich off him.He is very short when considering how long the rest are..The new one at 3,s just couldnt have it(too many mistakes,inexperienced jock), Jezki at 13/2 is a possible but just cant beat The Fly(at home anyway), Mullins has stated his awe for The Fly and the horse still has the ability...At 7,s thats the one Im sticking with and anything outside the top 4 looks highly unlikely..Any thoughts lads?
Just trying to get the buzz goingThumbs Up

Couldnt agree more regarding TNO, but struggle to see past Faugheen. Reckon there isn't a hope of the Fly getting near him and when Ruby decides to get off HF, that will say it all. While I'm fairly sure he will win, I also cant say I would be willing to plough into Faugheen, unless he is a better price on the day or there are some bookmakers specials. Will probably end up putting him in a double/treble with Annie Power and UDS.

Really looking forward to seeing what Douvan is made of also but not sure I could back either at that price. Although word coming from the mullins camp is very, very positive!

Faugheen/Un De Sceaux will be the antepost double of the festival.
 
Annie Power having a go at the Mares Hurdle this year so should be interesting to see how she gets on replacing Quevega. Was my hot tip of the festival last year but in all honesty struggled going up the hill. Hasn't run since May since winning at Punchestown so is a bit of an unknown quantity this year.

Ya, you would be worried about Mullins record in chases over in England, but you'd still expect that once he stands up there'll be noone to beat him.

If AP had been fit all season, there's no doubt but she would be going for the World hurdle. I think to say she struggled going up the hill is a little harsh, she just came up against a serious horse. Although the form hasnt worked out too strongly from it with AFC and more of that being less than impressive this year. The mare's should be a penalty kick for her though, although I think in her absence Mullins would still have a great chance at it with Glen's Melody. Jesus Mullins could have some sweep at it on Monday, especially if Don Poli was to go for the 4 miler, although that is fairly unlikely now.

Does anyone know if the willie Mullins horse up for review is going in the champion bumper, he was very impressive in leopardstown at Christmas and he reminded me of champagne fever winning his bumper race in fairyhouse, will actually be at cheltenham myself for the Tuesday and Wednesday. Anyone thinking of going I would recommend the Tuesday as that is the best day of the festival!

Could be as late as the Monday morning of Cheltenham week, even the morning of a race

My cousin James Collins could be riding over there this year so I may end up going over for the first time!

Does anyone listen to the final furlong podcast. It's uploaded every Friday. A few friends of mine have been listening to it . It's excellent. AT the races have sponsored it now. This week they discuss the Ryanair and the Gold Cup.
Https://m.soundcloud.com/emmet-Kennedy

Kevin Blake, Noel Feehily ,Robbie mcnamara are on it

Just google final furlong podcast.
