Anyone know how long sizing pottsie remains a novice chaser?? I really think he has an engine about him and if he can sort his jumping out then he could be very good..he runs today and takes on galvin over 2m 4f looking forward to that one

Tasty little race today. Big Galvin fan but he'll have to be on good form to give a stone to A Wave of The Sea.Originally posted by Ray View Post
Just seen he's a NR.Comment

Felix Desjy runs in the 4.35 Killarny tomorrow, will likely be extremely short odds. Most books around 25s but 365 have 40s with the cash out so may be worth a small poke before the off as that will likely shorten.
Unless Gordy is going for that Gannual plot up and hes fat - what are peoples thoughts here? I dont think the any race price of 14s represents too much valueComment

What are your thoughts on The Gannual @Quevega?Comment

It's a competitive race.Originally posted by JackieMoon33
In what regard specifically do you ask ?Comment

Sounds like they were very happy with Galvin. Problem is, probably too happy for the NHC. He could turn out to be one of Gordon's top Novice Chasers and head down the Marsh/RSA route. TWAR the way to go I suggest.Comment

What was the qualification for the NHC again? Was it to place over a certain distance?Comment

Min rating of 120, raced in at least 2 races over 2m7.5F and finished in the first four. Also to have raced in a chase at least once in the current season for any that remain novices.Originally posted by Big BucksComment

slightly different, but crucial.Originally posted by Outlaw
All horses must have a minimum BHA rating of 120 to participate. This change brings the National Hunt Chase in line with the G1 novices’ chases staged at The Festival – the Racing Post Arkle Novices’ Chase, the RSA Insurance Novices’ Chase and the JLT Novices’ Chase
Horses must have run in at least two chases and must have finished in the first four in a chase staged over an extended two miles and seven and a half furlongs or further
Horses must have run at least once in a chase during the current season.Comment

So Galvin still needs a first four finish in a chase over 2m 7.5Comment
-
If Galvin is targetting the NHC and goes same route as Rathvinden (same ownership) then he'll run in the Neville Hotels chase as Leopardstown at Xmas over 3 miles. I'm sure there are plenty of other 2m 7.5f opportunities for him to get qualified. Whether they'll go NHC route now though I'm not so sure. 16/1 TWAR still available with Hills which is the same as his best Marsh price. Just 10/1 with Skybet.Comment

He's beat dog shit and mushrooms in his last 2 races, what makes you think he'll be in one of the more high profile races.Originally posted by Lobos
Don't get me wrong, the experience is invaluable and it's entirely possible. But he's only needed to jump round.Comment

Just the connections comments/enthusiasm about him Q. He's very much surprised them how much he has improved.Originally posted by QuevegaComment

Yes Q, obvs already ran this season and been in two chases but needs that top 4 in 2m 7.5f at some point.Originally posted by QuevegaComment
