J.L.T Novices Chase 2019

[boopa]

He's beat Jerrysback. There's stronger form in Ireland and England.

Anyone heard news on champagne classic’s intended target? I doubt he’ll take on Delta Work in the RSA, and not sure he wants the 4 miler. Looked to be cutting out a little at the 3M trip in his last run, although given he needed the run badly. I’ve backed any race, but can’t help but get tempted at the 33/1 for the JLT, given I can’t see giggins town having anything else for the race? Anyone else getting tempted in ?

He’s beaten everything that’s been put in front of him. He’s not a flashy horse, he’s never going to win by 10 lengths doing handstands. He’ll only ever do enough by the looks of it but he’s a hardy sort & we’ll know if he’s got the class to be a proper contender at Cheltenham on Saturday

[boopa]

Wouldn't be surprised if only 2 of the top 5 turn up on Saturday.

I’m on any race but topped up with a little of the 33s in the JLT with B365 after his run at the weened. I don’t have a particularly strong belief that this is where he’ll turn up but he travelled well enough through the race to make me think it’s certainly plausible and 33s is/was too big with the option of cash out if it looks likely he’ll go elsewhere.

Yeah. I think boopa is right, his form isn't strong over fences yet but I am with you in thinking he'll keep pulling out more.

I would just LOVE this horse to win that race

[boopa]

I think Vinndication will be outpaced in this. You'll see the best of him when he goes up in trip. I've kept 33/1 for now. Other bets are Hardline 35/1 34/1 30/1 29/1, Winter Escape 35/1 (open double), Real Steel 60/1 (open double), Mengli Khan 250/1.

Agree with that Sean, he cannot beat horses he hasn't faced yet. Not sure why some are quick to write him off, hes a very good horse and I hope this is his target as I think he has a very good chance indeed.

Iv come round to hardline. I'm hoping la bague au roi beats him. And dosent go here therefore he drifts out and becomes a false price.

I think he's short enough with that race ahead. But I could be shown wrong. He wins it and goes very short

And then gets beat by Voix Du Reve......again!

[boopa]

VDR got an easy lead that day. He needs to settle and jump better over further. Not a fan personally.

Agree about the settling. We will have to see come the day. His jumping will be absolutely fine if he settles, it was fine on debut then for some reason it went to pot over the shorter distance, probably because of the pace he was allowed to go.

His jumping went to pot because he didn't get an easy lead as he did in his 2 chase wins. He jumps right too. He has been very easy to back on the machine but he is overpriced at 40's if they can get him to settle.

[doctorwu]

As someone in the comments section said, how does the interviewer not ask JLT or RSA?

Charlie,
I'd have to pull him up on the $100,000 question as well. Why do so many people misquote that??
Kim, its $64,000 actually. Maybe its inflation?
