  • I'd forgive OTR for the run. They won't be going that pace in this race and the extra 6f will help. He also has the experience edge over a lot of horses.

      ​​​​​​Don't Giggingstown though have so few real stars currently sitting at the business end of markets, that you'd think grabbing perhaps a final Festival race where they can, would be attractive for them?

      No more new stars coming through, I'm struggling to see them having much more impact after this year. Even targeting handicaps may be more difficult if the UK handicapper is more lenient with UK based horses from this year.

      • Is the 2m7 at Punchestown tomorrow a potential qualifier for this race? Interested in Egality Mans mostly. Looking back, Longhouse Poet won this race last year and I think he was fancied by a few for the NHC but didn't run. Smoking Gun won it the year before and he did run in it.

        Cobbler's Way also running but he's been off for such a long time I'm unsure what to expect from him.

          It could qualify as one of the completed chases a horse needs to have to qualify, however qualified horses must also place in a chase further than 2M 7 and half furlongs. Tomorrows race is just shy of this distance.

                If ever there’s a horse that looks taylor-made for the race it’s this big fella! 1 of the few value bets left in the current markets given how the bookies have been chopping odds all over the shop. Doubts whether stattler goes here and he’s already smashed him in last years AB and RWF still needs to tick that Cheltenham box

                • He certainly has the class, but his jumping yesterday was poor.

                  Can argue he's overpriced easily i agree.

                  Highly unlikely but i'd love to see Braeside running here.

                    Will be interesting to see what jockey booking they can get

                    However if he continues to lose a length at every fence like at the weekend he will need a lot of luck to win any race

                    • Is anyone still keeping the faith in The Bosses Oscar here?

                      Starting to think they may want to get the mark down for a shot at the Kim muir.

                      On at 25s only for 1pt, as he's available at 20s seems a no brainer.

                      Thoughts?

                        I have about as much faith in the bosses Oscar as I do in Englands test batting line up

                          I think he’s got more chance of scoring runs in the next test than most of our top order!

                          • …..given what’s been posted on here, I presume todays beginners Chase at Punchestown over an extended 2m 7f isn’t quite long enough to count as a qualifier for this.

                            Mullins runs Egality Mans who Sky quote at 22-1 to win today & NHC. I have not heard it mentioned for this & can’t see it listed in the Oddschecker market, 16-1 with Sky, 33-1 365.

                              Needs to be about 100 yards longer to qualify.

                                2M 7.5F minimum.
