♻️ Mares races into limited handicaps (Kevin Blake’s idea)
♻️National Hunt Chase no longer confined to novices

Gallagher and Ryanair - would no objection to them going either. Mares Chase should get a little more time for bigger sample.

Great to talk to the legend Jimmy Mangan for the Big Interview out in The Irish Field today. Recalling Monty’s Pass 21 years on and Spillane’s Tower 2 weeks on…

Kind of agree but I don’t think it’s black and white. If you’re rated in and around 145, you’ve made your bed that you may not get into the National.

But absolutely, if one of those ‘no hopers’ for owners with multiple runners comes out, it’s a terrible look.

A sad day. After just over seven years, I’m saying goodbye to The Irish Field - unbelievable to have been apart of a great team putting together a great paper. Enjoyed every minute of it 🙌❤️

And here is some insight from JWDavisonracing and Natalia Lupini who have big chances in the respective Guineas trials today with Take Me To Church and Kitty Rose

Great to see Leopardstown get the go-ahead. An often underrated card with classic dreams alive for yards big and small.

Previewed the three Group 3s with Emma here on irishracing.com Formscan show, from 15.53 onwards

'I was so taken by the way he came down the outside for Seamie Heffernan'

Ronan Groome thinks Wayne Lordan could be on the best of the Ballydoyle trio in Sunday's Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown 🏇

'I’m a Meath man, to win it is amazing, to win it twice is surreal. I’m just trying to keep up with Dermot McLoughlin, which is no easy task.'

Some buzz before the National FairyhouseRacecourse 👏

Rule, Britannia! 🙈🙈🙈

An utterly rancid take on current proceedings.

Is the Lincoln double on?

Chazzesmee landed a touch for the Stack family on the opening day of the Irish flat turf season at the Curragh today and could be set for Doncaster this Saturday.

Always found this a bizarre paradox. Imagine spending all that money on NH horses but it’s all too much for you even to watch the race live 🤷‍♂️

This will be a fine case study of the autonomy WPM has over his owners.

Lossiemouth really should be having a go now but it clearly suits Willie to have two odds-on shots in two Cheltenham races.

I'm sure said conversation will be interesting.

Entries for the Hunter Chase came out this week and might have gone a little under the radar with everything going on.

Cheltenham preview nights as much about the craic as the opinion - great blend of it here and nicely sectioned race-by-race on YouTube

Hard to know where to start with this, the most obvious place would surely GM would have known Nassalam was at 161 the Monday after WGN… which, despite the fact he won by a fence, apparently was a prep for GN, fair play
