2022 Cross Country Chase

[jono]

Unless they're trying to put us away it does sound like his prep has been less than ideal.
I sneaked Prengarde into a couple of multis but more as cover for my Tiger and Shady Operator positions, but I'd be lying if said I was confident...

The past view interviews have been very odd.

Todays run makes zero sense if they don’t plan on running in this years Cross Country. A last minute rush to get him into a handicap hurdle.

Then what can really be gained from a spin round in a handicap hurdle, other than just to blow away the cobwebs.
Not sure what “idea” they’ll be getting after today to be honest.

Unless he meets another issue, I’d say he’s certain to line up in March. Certainly not giving out the most confident vibes though are they!

They should wait until next year with him. Does sound like he's being rushed into a run at the Fez. He's still only 5 !!!! (not 6 until April). Tiger is twice his age. Man against Boy.

I personally would think the younger the better with Kapgarde's. Never really thought that they age that well myself, especially with cheltenham in mind..

Put away about a JP horse? Perish the thought.

I'm going to have to back him today, 6 places at 16/1.
Absolutely no idea what to expect.


Pulled up today.... drifts for the Cross Country. Smashed up on the day.


That's my guess.

Pulled up today/win at cheltenham would have been the funniest rab of the season...

Think he'll win by 10 lengths and be supplemented for the Champion Hurdle

Well we can write off the Champion Hurdle

[JamieSensible]

didn't see the race but noticed he's been pushed out to 6/1 with Will Hill and Paddy Power, how did he look? Worth taking more of the 6/1 or steer clear?

[Lobos]

Tiger had a similar prep last year and won half the track so you never know !!

[Geegees]

Any post race comments?

Beaten 75 lengths off a handicap mark of 127.

Puts his performance at a mark of around 50.

It would take some explaining if he were to go from a hurdles performance of 50 to a chase performance of 150+ in two weeks.

The explanation would be this, yeah we ran 2 miles over hurdles what he didnt want and now this is a cross country race 3 miles +

Makes him a snip at 6/1 then.

For those that think that way.
