Really impressive debut there from Sceau Royal, a horse that I never actually took too over hurdles. Jumping really neat and quick.
Reminiscent of Top Notch last year.
The 2m chase on the Sunday of the Open meeting is his likely next target. Due to his disliking for winter ground he could be a horse whose price fluctuates or stays relatively big for quite a while but the 33/1 after that performance is definitely fair. Doesn't look like a horse who would step up in trip either
Certainly wouldn't surprise given connections... seems a little odd if DD is going JLT though? I suppose you can't only have 1 bullet this far out at any race can you!
This race has the makings of a boil over for me, no obvious candidate we could see a dozen different favs between now and March, not convinced this is an AP market that will entice me....

I keep thinking that, but then keep thinking that it means the winner of this race is almost certainly 20/1+ and that lures me back in
Followed a few in with Sceau Royal. Very solid start to chasing and the 33-1 is very fair considering you know this is the intended target and who knows how many will actually turn up.
Holding my finger above the button for River Wylde. Won't be long until I press it though!
I put a free bet on Movewiththetimes for this at 25/1 last night. Vague thinking that Nicholls is better with chasers and he wouldn't need a mass of improvement on his run behind Ballyandy to be a contender in this race, as it looks at the moment
Those who have got Paul Ferguson book will have seen comments re William Henry, good job I held back on having a wager
I got Mark Howard's book but not this one. What were the comments on William Henry? Was a horse to follow for me this season but can't find any info on him

That he reportedly goes over fences, not much other than that.

Thanks. Could be a dark horse for this race but more likely to go over a trip I guess, Henderson will have some nice novice chasers this year and River Wylde looks a more likely fit for the Arkle
