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

[JackieMoon33]

Gordon’s RP stable tour now saying Column Of Fire will go over fences!

[Lobos]

Tizzard has a good record in the race doesn’t he. A couple of wins and a place over the last few seasons. Could see him sending Harry senior there as I think the big breakaway would be better on a more galloping track. But there’s every chance you’re right. Whatever he runs will be of interest.

Agree. I don't see TBB being nimble/quick enough around Kempton. Would think Haydock/Newbury (John Francombe Novice Chase 3m) may suit him more but who knows with Tizz.

Could have been a quote from anyone involved in the sport.

The Column Of Fire flip flop is interesting though

The what now?!

ATR stable tour = Handicap hurdles

RP stable tour = “we’ll go over fences”

Add the two together and you get a handicap chase surely. Simples.

Possibly. But now Fury Road is staying over hurdles, Gordon will want some horses for the Graded chases and I personally think Column Of Fire will be too good for handicapping.

The problem may be that you are right... he is "too good for handicapping", which means he's got a big handicap in him.

Certainly could pan out that way as Gordon has Easywork and Commander Of Fleet in the yard for the same owners. But I really think Column Of Fire could be best of them over fences.

[ComplyOrDie]

I see Column Of Fire as a potential Marsh horse, now that the chasing news has emerged.

Not sure where Easywork will fit in now, possibly RSA with Commander Of Fleet, although Commander Of Fleet could still end up in the NH Chase.
