J.L.T Novices Chase 2019

[Quevega]

He jumped to the front when LIT made that mistake but I am sure he will next time. To be fair I dont think anyone expected DDS not to see it out based on Triumph hurdlers being stayers argument often mentioned on here by Istabraq. Having already cashed out a few DDS Arkle tickets and Le Richebourg JLT ones I hope they dont switch them.

mmm... fingers crossed then

Will connections take the view with DDS that he was slightly done for stamina at the trip ... and after leaving his chasing debut behind, a drop in trip to a strong run Arkle would suit?

I am on at any race and would prefer Arkle.

IMO, his jumping has improved, yeah, but not enough to go with them in an Arkle. Time will tell though.

[Quevega]

I'm on at 28-1 arkle, so have slight preference for that, and reckon Hobbs would want arkle ideally, given the improvement.
But I'm not overly fussed to be fair.

I'd normally agree with that but who's gonna run away from them, nothing stands out yet.

As it stands, you are correct, not much to take them along at pace, but then again that would also go against DDS. Think he needs a strong pace, also think too quick a pace over 2m fences is too much for him. He'll be done like Finian's Oscar was. Good luck with your nice prices though.

Campeadour will end up in one of these two I imagine but most likely scenario for JPs is still Le Richebourg Arkle & DDS JLT. Still have a few lines the other way round but thought Joseph sounded totally committed to 2 mile route.

Only evidence we've seen on the track that he could do with further is his bizarre balloon like and slow jumping, which appear to be lessening. But yes, a strong pace will help, which is likely anyway, given the arkle nearly always is, due to the excitement of everyone.

Think JP will let trainers and jockeys decide.

I still need to do that analysis, I forgot.

This is a joke I presume

Not at all

Absolutely micro-managed by Frank Berry.

It's why you employ a racing manager.

Totally agree Kev, I think The Arkle is the call but what do I know. He wouldn't win this in my mind.
