Very positive update on Allaho from the Irishracing article today
Can't wait to see him go chasing. That Albert Bartlett has bundles of potential for novice chasers this season...is a horse I am particularly looking forward to. He is a huge strong galloping horse that any jockey would love to sit on in a novice chase. The whole yard is looking forward to watching him go over fences.Comment

Where do people see allaho going rsa or jlt? From the talk sounds like he's gunna be a Stayer yet he's generally shorter for the jltComment

Without doubt he wont go JLT in my opinion , a stayer deffo. He looked like a shell of a horse last term , so looking forward to seeing him walk round paddock and getting started. RSA more than likely and Willie really impressed with his schooling. Im on for this race and hope to see him place at a minimum to collect.Originally posted by Nwfb89 View PostComment

I’d be shocked if any horse staying on in a potato race dropped back to a JLT trip, I would imagine the choices are RSA or Nat Hunt Chase.Originally posted by Nwfb89 View Post
Worth also remembering that Allaho was a 5yo in that potato race, a race that has only yielded 2 5yo winners in its 15 year history....Comment

Nice update regarding Allaho.
Very much taken a view that Minella Indo aaaand Allaho were two above average horses
Took the gamble that he's an RSA horse st 27s as el as the any race prices so house you're right ista, my thinking was and is similar re: targetComment

Personally think Allaho is more of a JLT sort myself + Carefully Selected will be their RSA horse...Comment

I was hoping CS would be Patrick's horse in the NHC.Originally posted by jack1092 View PostComment

Mullin's bingo of course, but i think he's better than that- and the RSA was mentioned at the stabletour according to Tatt's twitter.Originally posted by Lobos View Post
I would personally have thought a horse with the ability to get within 3.5Ls of Minella Indo with only 2 starts over hurdles would be aimed at a proper G1 like the RSA.
That's my take anyway, but reality is we haven't seen a lot of him over obstacles so still learning!Comment

I’d have concerns Carefully Selected wouldn’t have enough gears to get his nose in front on the old course in the RSA. Hypothetically if you put him in last years race I’m not convinced he’d have had the turn of foot Topofthegame had to put the race to bed!
I know the NHC is ran over the same course but I’d be more confident that’s a race he can definitely win with his running style. Granted he proves he can jump well obviously. Have him covered for both but I’d fancy his chances in the NHC.Last edited by SeanRock; 31 October 2019, 12:31 PM.Comment

Its a real conundrum this race. Could be one of the deepest at the Festival and there are several I really like.
Willie alone has three very exciting staying types in Allaho, Carefully Selected and Next Destination, and all three have the potential to be his first string in another year. I've backed all three for this... Whilst I find it hard to imagine that they will all take each other on if fit and well, it looks the right race for all three so why not?
Its not hard to imagine one of the three going for the Four Miler though, but suppose that will depend on how the season pans out.Comment
