I’d certainly agree with Santini being in. Because the RSA is his only realistic target there unlike with Next Destination and Cracking Smart who could stay hurdling.
In fact, Santini would’ve been my suggestion for this thread too.
Not sure either way on Bacardys. Will he run there and not the RSS?
No chance Cracking Smart is staying hurdling... I can't think of any Gigginstown horse that'd have taken that route - I looked into their staying hurdlers a year or so back and they just don't do it unless that have to. He'll be novice chasing, and interesting at that! (I think we both agreed ND and CS should be in the Albert Bartlett and unfortunately neither got there!)
Bacardys had the RSA as a long term plan last year, but the 'Patrick Mullins factor' is a potential reason he could be one for the 4 miler now, although he jumps like a table at the moment. Jono made the case for this one and it's a decent angle at 33/1
Santini is rock solid as an ante post selection in the RSA IMO, so I agree with you both there.
I'm interested in Black Op for the JLT now that the rumours are Samcro is staying hurdling. Not a big price but taking Samcro out of the equation leaves him as the best novice hurdler going chasing in my opinion (and without checking, I can't imagine any horse having a higher rating)... will check it another time.
Lostintranslation who wasn't far behind at Aintree is also of interest although I wouldn't like to second guess Tizzard.

You make a good point about Gigginstown actually. I hadn’t thought of that for Cracking Smart. My problem is that I fancy him, ND and Santini for the RSA. Whilst I’m trying to be less stubborn about having just one horse antepost (after seeing the successful strategy of multiple horses of players like you on here), I don’t want too many at this stage. Three for a novice Chase is too many in September.
As for Black Op, I like the horse but there are horses that, if they turned up, I’d like to take him on with at this stage. Samcro and Kalashnikov are two of the horses for the JLT that, I’d turning up, I’d have to beat Black Op. So on that basis, BO isn’t one for me.
Perhaps (as his target is relatively straightforward you would think) he’s one for the Yankee though for the JLT. Though I think we can find better.
I’d like to get Altior into another one of these. Even at 7/4, I think he’s one for multiples. He’s only in one yankee at the minute..

He's in danger of being forgotten about and I'd love Nicholls to have an absolute smasher again.
I can't really see myself backing him for a specific race, and to be fair he was disappointing in a couple of bumpers HOWEVER, he's never supposed to be a bumper horse - I suppose the fact he isn't really going to be a hurdler is the issue but he's one of the horses I'm most excited about still!
