J.L.T Novices Chase 2019

[ComplyOrDie]

Stays over hurdles. 3m.. I can't really knock the decision as there's huge pots at auteuil for him again.

Ah, well, that puts that one to bed....next

Theres an obvious one that I'm suorised no-one has mentioned yet but his rating is over inflated.

Really?

Priced up? As the ones I can see have been mentioned, maybe not so much in this thread, mind.

Feel free to share

Coquin mans I added him to the any race market of which he's 18/1. Haven't backed him as of yet . As I have a sneaky suspicion he had a physical issue after punchestown. As his run at auteuil where conditions were right up his street was awful.

Like the 'any race' angle, unsure if this would be the race for him, may need a little bit further? However his best win did come over this trip when hurdling, so clearly not a hindrance to him.

I think its his trip personally, but He's not one for me. However he could be one iv missed and look back on with regret later in the season.

Below the top grade in my opinion. Best chance would be a handicap.

Grade 2 level for him is a fair assessment at this stage would you agree?

I like Coquin Mans but that is how I’d describe him to a tee. With a 158 rating over hurdles I don’t think they could get him to a workable mark for handicaps

Can pick up pots in Ireland without having to face the big guns. Also seems to be a winter horse, not sure he’s ever raced in anything with the word good in it.

Don’t know about everybody else but to me this is the most confusing of all the festival races to get a handle on

In everyone’s opinion what do we think On the day will be the first 4/5 in the market that will end up in this race and not an Arkle or RSA

Nothing to back this up but i think Vision Des Flos will be heading here with Pingshou going to the arkle

[Rhinestone_Cowboy]

With Samcro confirmed hurdling, there has been plenty of blue about for horses with leading claims in the novice chases. One I was keen on a while back, Black Op, requires no introduction, however I'm putting the breaks on getting involved after reading this interesting post that Archie shared on 'horses to avoid' this season. The basic issue being that his jumping may not improve enough with the yard he is at (same for Summerville Boy):

https://thefinalflightpublications.co.uk/adam-webbs-national-hunt-horses-to-avoid-2018-2019/

Added to this he may well go up in trip anyway (into a potentially red hot RSA) means the 10/1 still available for this race makes little appeal to me now

Claimantakinforgan goes tomorrow at Uttoxeter in a race the same connections won last year with River Wylde. I've put this here rather than the Arkle thread as I see him as the type for this and have nibbled at the 33s with B365.

Hey Viking, I've backed CLAIM for the Arkle as I see Henderson shuffling his pack with On The Blind Side going JLT and the mighty Santini going RSA

Haven't backed the first two mentioned but I kind of think the same.

Possible. Iv spoke to the owner previously. They are very much in agreement with myself or vice versa on the step up in trip to jlt. But it's not a foregone conclusion.
