Doing an 'Naiad'

Spectre Great work here. Was rooting for him to win for you, must be gutting to finish 2nd but sure the E/W returns will ease some of the pain mate, well done!

Great shout Spectre. A bit uffy at a couple of the jumps but have a great effort and just pipped at the end.

[Spectre]

I'm pretty philosphical about these things generally Toni. I'd have loved him to have won of course, but as you say the place return was nothing to be sniffed at and helped towards a significant Day 1 profit.

[Viking Flagship]

That's a really good point VF. I'd imagine they'll see how he comes out of the race and what the handicapper does before deciding whether to press on or draw stumps.

Will certainly follow him, seems a really nice sort and would look a proper Hennessy type to me. Kim likely to get some improvement out of him over the summer too.

[Spectre]

Yes I agree. If he can sharpen up his jumping there's plenty of improvement to come.

For a race that in a festival context is just a bit of padding, i have to say how much ive enjoyed the build up to it this year.

Really wanted HGL to win for you Spectre , great shout and a fully committed case made, loved it

Just a thought....

if AHOY SENOR doesn't quite make the top table and contest the Festival Novices Chase then he could turn out to be a very interesting contender for the Ultima - bearing in mind the success of novices in this race.

Certainly could be one to keep an eye on and as Spectre suggested pre-Festival this is one of the more straight-forward handicaps to get a handle on.

Along with 2018 winner Coo Star Sivola who is now off a handy mark of 135. Believe it or not he will still only be 10 come March.
