If he wins the Paddy Power he will go NHC id say, if his mark is still low the irish national and a much bigger pot than the NHC would come very much into the equation
I think we have to assume that both TBO and RWF are going for the NH Chase - at this moment in time. Christmas may change things, it may not but at least after Christmas, we'll be a bit more sure of targets.

Galvin and Escaria Ten this year, if we ignore the temporary transfer to Ferguson with Galvin. Jury Duty and Mossback in 2018. Only checked back to 2018, but that's twice in the last 4 years. I think to get a fuller picture we need to see if another Gordon's surfaces, that could be Festival Novices bound.

Yeah I had a moment and totally forgot Galvin was gordys when I briefly looked. Missed the 2018 as both pulled up and was only flicking through so just missed 1 of them. Eitherway you answered the question perfectly so everyone’s hopes for Fred or the bosses Oscar can keep dreaming
In the last 10 years, only two horses have taken in a Grade 1 Novice Chase prior to NH Chase for Elliott:
2018: Jury Duty - came 2nd 3m Novice Chase Fred appears to go for - was 4/1f but unseated rider when no chance
2015: Cause of Causes - came nowhere in Drinmore as second season novice - won
Not a well trodden path, but a path which has been trodden.
The curveball of course is that pro riders were used in this race last season, who Elliott could find to partner a second horse I have no idea.
Neither will get in the Kim Muir, I think he may look at the Ultima for TBO but that can be a hot race and if he can get a half decent mark for that one he may choose to hold over to the Irish National.
But as always, 15/16 weeks is a long time and things can change so no-one’s plans are fixed and immovable at this stage….
