What are we thinking for the Mares Chase next season? I sort of want to take the first two on, especially with the prices they are. Colrevy was good but is much better right handed and I feel she beat a poor field. Elimay I’m not convinced with being a really top mare. There has the be better out there than them two.
I think there should be no issue with novices winning this race if the horse is good enough. But who will be the mares likely to go novice chasing?
Willies novice mares were poor this year.
Best novice looks to be going Mares Hurdle
Will Black Tears go chasing?
Can’t see Concertista going chasing the way she’s bred
Roksana won’t go chasing now at her age surely (plus needs 3 miles)
Don’t think any of the others in the Mares Hurdle will be good enough.
Honeysuckle won’t go here if she goes chasing
Benie I just don’t want to go near anymore
Is there anyone else that could be going chasing that wasn’t in the race last year?
If Telmesomethinggirl does go chasing I would be tempted

Scarlet and Dove is the one for me. Has form with Mount Ida and was giving Colreevy a race before falling. Has since won twice including the grade 2 mares chase at limerick before the festival giving weight away. Not priced up yet but may go underrated when she is.

Or am I confused ?
If this is the case I'd suggest any ante post Cheltenham investment carries a huge risk....
