Still only 6 he is already established as a top class staying chaser, he was looked after last year running just four times, and although he only finished in front once he ran same good races in defeat. His reappearance was in the Hennessey Gold Cup where he travelled well for a long way before fading to finish 8^th, and then in January won a big handicap at Gowran Park  0ver 3m 1f, giving at least 6lb to the field and beating My Murphy 8l. He then finished 2^nd beaten 1 ½ l by Conygree in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, and then finished 7l behind Don Cossack in the Punchestown Gold Cup in April. He aws two years younger than any thing in the race, so should have more improvement than most, and is a big player in the staying chases.

2015/16 Jumps - Editor's Introduction and Bonus Races list

As another winter begins we have the problem of Mullins domination in the jump sector. You could probably easily pick 20 of his and win the competition,  and with the Henderson and Nicholls strings looking under powered at present that dominance is being exaggerated.  The Henderson yard  looks as though it will be boosted by the returns of Bobs Worth and Simonsig who both did well against each other at Aintree recently, and his yard is strongly represented in this competition as a few see a come back on the cards.

Last year’s Gold Cup winner Coneygree came from a small yard which was a breath of fresh air and a fairy tale story, and whilst there are one or two nice sorts coming through from the novice ranks in England, at present you would be brave to go against the Mullins battalion in most of the Championship races. Of course they all have to stay fit and get there, but he has three or 4 options for most races !

One of the confusing factors in Ireland is the owners Gigginstown Stud and The Ricci’s own most of the top horses, so keeping their own apart will be some challenge alone.

The competition is likely to be decided as always by some one finding a couple of stand out single picks.   Once again I hope you enjoy the read .

Good Luck to all

The Editor.
