National Hunt Chase (4 miler) 2019

[Quevega]

Connections state intended aim for Count Meribel is RSA. Mr.Whipped OR will be too high for the Ultima, so out of Fridays race I take White Moon & Le Breuil for the Ultima.
Cant see any of the above coming here. AIMHO

Why Mr Whipped too high ??

[Quevega]

White Moon looked the best horse from that race and I'd imagine they'll go RSA.
Mr Whipped looked slow (again) only race he'll win is a national or four miler.

Q,
He's already on 146. He could come here but I think the stable thinks he's better than that.

Someone has added White Moon to the Ultima betting today. It must have been someone on here, or a lurker!

Can't see which races he can improve that mark in as there won't be many 4 mile races for novices, he's as one paced a horse as I've seen, absolutely made for Nationals

I think they have the RSA in mind for him?

Can't remember which podcast from this week but they stated Robbie Power was fuming coming back in and was adamant he had the race won before falling at the last.

Native River ran here for the same connections so I don't see why not. CT is a higher profile trainer than he was two or three seasons ago so I'm sure they could secure a top amateur if this is the road they go down.

An intersting point.

He did quite publically ask for top amatuers to approach him too that year.

Yeah, it was *hmmmmm -
They said someone close to Puppy had said it diodn't they? Adam Webb MNR?

I noticed, that despite Tizzard moaning about having the top jockeys for the race etc... he still ran Sizing Tennessee in it last season, and that horse ran a great race in 3rd. Not sure the jockey would have made much difference in his case as was beaten a long way.

It's actually ironic that Tizzard did in fact get a good jockey for the race in the end. Not yet to the level of Jamie Codd or Derek O'Connor but Barry O'Neill took the ride of Sizing Tennessee. Elliott had secured him for Fagan but he got pulled at the last minute. He was Champion Point-to-Pointer last year. First time Codd or O'Connor failed to win it in 13 years.

Will more than likely be a rider for Elliott again who he rides for occasionally (won on Commander of Fleet in April). Certainly another one to consider and imagine his stock will rise over the next few seasons.

Whoever the pundit was on ATR tonight gave it as his bet for the festival, excluding the obvious shorties. He confirmed Power thought it would have won last time & that the 4 miler was, in his opinion, most likely!

Wow.

So in general are people favouring 22/1 any race or 33/1 (365) here?

[boopa]

Joe Tizzard said 2m4 is perfect for White Moon.

[Quevega]

I'd probably go RSA 44-1 W Hill with boost.
Not sure what else R Power will have to potentially ride in RSA but he'll be persuasive if he thinks this is his best bet. Pretty sure he won't be suggesting four miler as most professionals wouldn't.

Most of my bet is any race but had a smaller bet on the 4 miler which is what I hope will be his target.
