  • First time cheek pieces on Chantry House tomorrow. Never a good sign. Aye Right rated just 1lb inferior to him. He'll do for me to cause a surprise.

      Yep completely agree the Headgear was a big surprise

      Id cash out the 2 doubles i had him for tomorrow if I could

      Would never have placed them had I known cheekpieces were going on

      • Taking the opposite view and having a go on 25s today and Gold Cup. He's about the best stats fit in the race for me.
        Just taking a huge chance on him leaving that KG run behind and showing a bit of form today. Needs to win today to even run in the GC though doesn't he, so the double makes much more sense than a GC single at 16s imo.

        Probably be in the bin in a few hours but that'll save me waiting 7 weeks to throw it away ​​​​​​​

          Done the double as well Benjy. He was improving nicely before Kempton and I drew a line through that pretty much straightaway.
          Hes been fine at Cheltenham and expect a return to form back there.

          • Santini, what a horse!




            Chantry House seemed legless at the end, Nico has jumped off. Hope all is okay!



            Assuming he is okay.... I think he has no hope of winning a Gold Cup.... very happy to have been against him all season and he's no threat IMO

              Gutted - i backed the old dog too

              Still, more chance of him winning GC than Chantry

              • Yep, Chantry can't win GC. Hope he's ok though. Santini MUST go GN !

                • One of the worst rounds of jumping you will ever see from a horse that wins

                  Hit every single fence

                  You can certainly see why they went to cheekpieces

                  • Not easy on the eye was it ?
                    However they seemed to make it a real steady test, and Santini staying on at his own pace.
                    If he jumps better he'd have a chance still.
                    But I doubt he will.
                    I'd fancy him if he's still in or around as they come down the hill though.

                    • He isn't winning anything.. Aye right had him off the bridle going round ffs. Wouldn't be over the top to say I'd be cashing all GC bets out on him, he aint even placing in the race.

                          He will be pulled up if he runs like that

                            Legless, because he had to make up ground after every fence, terrible jumping.

                            no chance for the gold cup unless jumping improves massively

                            • He was dire and I wouldn’t be shocked if he has a setback after that today, I’ve cashed for stake back.

                              • Plus if a faster pace Gold Cup he will be pulled,up on the first circuit on that showing.
