2022 National Hunt Novices Chase

[ToniC]

RWF takes up his entry in cork alongside cape gentleman, diol ker and french dynamite amongst others

[Clinker]

This is my opinion too. Gordon may well have already blown Galvin's mark, but Run Wild Fred is also on a very good mark and he'll want to us it at some point. RWF can still run in the NH Chase and not impact his mark for April.

First time comment so please don't shoot me down.... at what point will the decision be made for RWF? Is there a point in the NH calender that you know Chelt festival won't be a target?

Old fancy for this Corran Cross runs in the first at Wetherby tomorrow in case anyone is interested - Class 3 handicap chase over 2 and a half miles

[Lobos]

Capodanno ......any jockey would like to ride him.........does that include amateurs ? Ummmmmm

I suppose the obvious answer is at the entry stage's, but with this horse it will worth listening out for trainer comments around his races.
So I'll be keen to hear what Elliot has to say after his race in Cork.

That was certainly what it made me think!

I'd never do that Clinker, and welcome to the forum.

I think they will already have a campaign mapped out for RWF with one or possibly two seasonal targets. The key will be watching out for entries along the way, as entries always offer clues to the way they may be thinking.

The fly in the ointment is his owner, Michael O'Leary. I suspect Gordon has an idea of what he wants and MOL will decide late.

Exactly what I though.

Are trainers asked to comment on horses if they don’t win or come close. If RWF isn’t involved in the finish (which is probably likely) will somebody still stick a microphone in his face? I certainly hope so as I think I’m anticipating this particular update as much as the whole of the Mullins stable tour ...haha

Edit: With the money that’s come for RWF maybe my question will be moot

All eyes on the 2:25 I guess....

I don't think we'll learn a huge amount today tbh, with a view to this that is, unless GE comes out and cites the race specifically afterwards, which is plausible if he gets outpaced, which I suspect he will.

[Fouroverthrutwo]

Exactly what I though.

Mark Howard had him down as a horse with this race as his nominated target.

I'm sold! I backed him a while ago after reading this. The only potential fly in the ointment for me was Gars De Sceaux who is also owned by JP. I thought Gars De Sceaux was also crying out for a switch to fences and a step up in trip. I backed them both just in case!!
