Thanksforthehelp +11 to 128
Hopefully that should see him in the Final in view of there being a lot fewer qualifiers this season.

Gotta be borderline in terms of getting in either with the fewer qualifiers. It was only 2021 with noone there where the last qualifier dropped below 133 I think. Even with 2 less horses per qualifier it's possibly a stretch for the last qualifier to drop 5lbs? JP could easily pull all his for this one though which would helpOriginally posted by Lobos View PostComment

Yep, it'll be tight but think we'll get a Dunboyne situation again. They'll be desperate for him to take his chance.Originally posted by Odin View PostComment

Would be some statement if he pulled Perceval Legallois to get Thanksforthehelp inOriginally posted by Odin View Post
will they know how many needs to come out for him to get in ?Comment

Not until the morning of the decs.... be able to make a better guess after the weights do get announced today thoughOriginally posted by Liammet View PostComment

Just caught the replayOriginally posted by Lobos View Post
did anyone pick up a nice win today and Cheltenham for him?
He had the handbrake on for most of last season, looks a danger if getting in!Comment

How many will Elliott and Henderson run here - think it must be 8 or 9. Thanksforthehelp is a big player in this if getting in but I'd say it's unlikely with some of them having the option of having multiple entries to stop the lower rates horses getting in.Comment

He'll probably get in easy I reckon.Comment

Not sure it'll be easy but do think he'll make it as he's got several behind him already and would only need 20 to come out even if he were bottom weight.Originally posted by Quevega View PostComment

I think so too. 4 of the UK horses rated higher than him have not even qualified for the race. I think there are two from the Irish lot that are not qualified and one that is too low in the weights, plus Shewearsitwell who looks to be heading to the Mares Hurdle.Originally posted by Quevega View Post
I don't think he's too far off being in already, tbh.Comment

He doesn't need 20 to come out, based on his new rating and the ones that are still entered but not qualified for the race he's probably not far off already being in. Think maybe 3 or 4 to come out after deductions of the ones that are not qualified, ones that are too low in the weights etc...Originally posted by Lobos View Post
There are 40 entered in the race and 24 run, so he'd never need 20 to come out.Comment

Blimey......that was easy. What a huge difference the 4 places made this year !
I'll have to back him now and make it a big one. He looks absolutely thrown in. Shades of the Boxer all over again !! My no Handicaps before the week plan has to be screwed up!Comment

I said it'd be a tight squeeze him getting in... didn't say at which point (marks/decs)!Originally posted by Moby123 View Post
