Arkle/Marsh/RSA/NH Chase - Novice Chasers 2021 (new)

[Guinness Village]

Agree with comments on first two home. Be interesting to hear Gordon's post race comments .Easywork still my RSA horse.

[Topofthegame2021]

Yes thats my dilemma with him. Really like the horse and think that will be his best trip, but he isnt beating EA is he? Hopefully that will make them look at the RSA

Agreed, I don’t think I’ll be backing him for the Marsh as EA has the measure in that race. Hoping they steer clear.

[Jorvik]

Backed him for the RSA, happy with the performance but I’m thinking Marsh is the most likely destination for Easywork now

Hope not for the sake of the Easywork (RSA)/Envoi (Marsh) double I suspect a fair few of us have!

[Lobos]

Envoi form franked by all and sundry there as well. Not that it needs franking !!

Gordon has Andy Dufrence for the Marsh so Easywork in the RSA works.

Surprised to see Embittered be pushed out for the Arkle in places on the back of that. Very solid debut and his jumping was mostly excellent bar that one error. Course form a bonus too. Another 0.5pts EW at 40/1 for me.

Not sure how that thought process goes Lobos? GE has Envoi Allen too remember. AD target surely won't have any impact on where Easywork runs.

Not sure myself either.

Lobos, let's not assume Andy Dufresne is going to be mustard either. He was talked up as the second coming this time last year and connections decided to skip Cheltenham all together after patchy form to say the least.

If Envoi Allen, as anticipated by many.
Arrives in the Marsh. As hot Favourite.

I'd imagine that Gordon would be reluctant to run too many against him, from his own yard.
But he may not have as big a say if the owners are Gigginstown and Mcmanus.
But I'd doubt if he runs more than 2 in it.
He may as well have a good pop at the other two races.

...into 20-1 for Arkle and Marsh with 365. 33-1 PP NH Chase. Very interesting to see where it goes next.

Gordon Elliot on Easywork: "I thought it was a good performance. He said he hurdled the second a bit but was foot perfect after. He's having a good blow and I think he'll be better when he steps up in trip in the Drinmore but I don't know if that will come too soon."

The Four Miler would be a mad one... County Hurdle to NH Chase!!

Pretty certain Gordon won't want to run 3 in the Marsh.

If he misses the drinmore.
It'll be leopardstown over 2m 1f at Christmas that Notebook won.
Or if he's intent on a trip, the Faugheen Novice at Limerick over xmas over 2m 3f.
Personally hope he turns up at leopardstown as I think he has the speed and stamina for 2 miles.
