National Hunt Chase (4 miler) 2019

[Kevloaf]

Relax and back Ballyward.

On the back of just 2 chase starts?

Would need to be some animal

[monkfish]

Same as OK Corral and CC.

Since becoming Graded, no winner with less than 3 chase runs.
5 of the last nine had competed in at least nine chases

The problem is with this stats is not many will meet them this year, I certainly believe the best two horses in the race is the top two in the betting and the stats will go out of the window this year.. if not start looking for a 25/1 winner...

Haha yeah, this was mentioned yesterday - I was just literally reading the stats page about Willie Mullins smashing trends on Gaultstats and Ballyward is one that he will have to break down this year


I did say very recently too, if I was having a bet now, it'd be on Ballyward.

Nicky asked if Ok Coral will stay 4m, that was hardly a resounding yes

[Big Bucks]

Ok Coral and Champagne classic go for RSA is it Ballywards to lose?

Ok Corral will not go for RSA Nicky said they will stick to the plan.

I dont think CC will go either, dont see why they would run against Delta Work. But its gunna be a long week!

JOB said Mortal is 50/50 RSA/NHC looks like it's a decision between those two for back up to DW.

Do we think Gun Diggers destination is linked to the outcome of this discussion? If GE is forced to run CC in the RSA against DW then GD will run here?

If Champagne Classic goes RSA and Gun Digger is indeed Lisa O’Neill’s ride, who is Codd riding?

Either Mortal, or ???

I’ve cashed my 20/1 CC bet for decent profit. If he runs, I will consider going back in. Though after Jury Duty last year, I’m not sure Gordy knows the right type for this.

Very much hope Codd will be riding Mister Malarky in this. Always thought this horse was the likely winner if he came here and Codd on board only reinforces that in my mind.

He can't, can he?!

I can't see it...

That would be a huge plunge if Codd is on.

Can't see it still.

Still.

Still.

I think with the stamina in the pedigree and the fluent jumping especially with a top man like Codd on board, and a plunge would be well justified imo.

[The Don]

I reckon Codd ends up on Gun Digger here.... just a hunch
