J.L.T Novices Chase 2019

[SAMCRO]

Ill be looking for something prominent in the arkle market coming out and getting beat over 2 miles and needing a step up in trip.

Kalashnikov/Getabird/Paloma Blue/Vision Des Flos.

[Innoko]

Something from Ireland!

Think I mentioned this earlier but Nicky at our open day was pretty sure that he wouldn't have the pace for 2 miles at the top level and thought he would probably end up going further. Since then ive seen a few interviews where he has slightly contradicted himself and been keener on the Arkle, but personally Ill be sticking with JLT with him betting wise (had a small bet on Arkle at 33/1)

Duc des genievre?

A few months back when trying to figure who the Mullins runners could be (when it first appeared both Laurina and Melon would stay hurdling) he had some appeal for me with the Arkle / JLT in mind though as of yet still haven't heard any form of update on him or his wellbeing and others in the stable (Draconien) appear to be earmarked for this race now.

Looked to me like he'd benefit from going chasing and that would be where we'd see the best of him. However Noel Fehily says the horse would benefit from a step up in trip and he may well of run in the AB last season if it wasn't for the same connections having Fabulous Saga.

I'd actually be quite keen on seeing him over 2 miles again over fences having ran well over the minimum trip at the Dublin Festival but the JLT could also come into play. He disappointed slightly at the end of the season but ran with more than enough promise in his first 3 starts imo but he would appear to be well held if staying over hurdles.

On my radar though for novice chasing if they go down that route. The Mullins stable tour should be printed in the RP the week commencing 19th November so may get a snippet then about him...

Duc des genievre seems a little over hyped to me... always the 'dark horse' and has never really justified it.

Fences would need to improve him plenty for me to be interested (but of course that could very well happen).

This race is always one of the toughest ante post... some years the Arkle has a 'standout' which forces some horses upo, so perhaps I've been hasty in thinking Claimantakinforgan WILL go up in trip... but I'll pay my money and take my chance right now.

Yeah I think he's well held over hurdles now and wouldn't have much appeal anymore there. But over a fence and back at 2 miles i'd like to see at least. Was more a case of trying to spot a Mullins novice chaser for the season who could also be a big price (as he seems to be rather forgotten since the Spring)

Shocked by that, I would have thought that was the perfect race for Getabird. Also no Dortmund Park who I like for the JLT.

Not Willie's way to go straight to a G1. Vautour and Douvan both started in a beginners towards the end of November and then went up to graded at Christmas.
For the Drinmore he likes a horse that started early.

Dortmund park stays over hurdles

True, still though he has hinted that he'll try keep him right handed where possible, other than the Drinmore & the Durkan (probably come too soon also) there's not that much between here and Cheltenham. There is that race at Limerick at Christmas I suppose wonder if he'll give him a spin around Leopardstown.
