Mares Chase 2021

[Topofthegame2021]

She and Elimay are JP's only entries in the Mares Hurdle. Elimay is clearly coming here so.......

Yeah I see that - he’s not exactly adverse to running horses against each other.

I can’t cash out anyway because it’s suspended so I’ll just let it run for now.

I've backed DDC for both races and TWAR so I just want her to turn up !

JP doesn't avoid his horses clashing does he, it's not a given he splits them given their different trainers and jockeys.

Assuming Dame De Compagnie isn't coming here because of Elimay is inaccurate, it's just less likely than it was.... that's how I meant it earlier

[Eggs]

....11/2 is now about the best you’ll get for Elimay.

Very fair indeed still..

So Elimay looks very good as does Colreevy. We wont see BDD till March, so put these scenarios in order of likelihood:

1. BDD, Elimay and Colreevy all Mares Chase
2. Elimay and Colreevy Mares Chase, BDD Stayers
3. Elimay and Colreevy Mares Chase, BDD Mares Hurdle
4. BDD and Elimay Mares Chase, Colreevy Marsh
5. BDD Mares Hurdle, Elimary Mares Chase, Colreevy March
6. Colreevy to Limerick, BDD and Elimay Mares Chase

4, 3, 2, 1, 5, 6 for me.

4, 3, 2, 1, 5 for me.

Colreevy to Limerick and BDD & Elimay to the Chase would be my guess at this stage.

Going to add this.

....Elimay is still 7-1 in Sky a/r market (5-1 in their Mares Chase list).

Probably haven’t noticed, imagine it’ll be gone soon.

[Kevloaf]

Regarding Colreevy

Didn't they win that Limerick race with Salsaretta in 2020.... She 'skipped' Cheltenham for it.

I wouldn't be surprised if they just picked up the 30k prize money for that at odds on?

Vroum Vroum Mag won it in 2015 too when she was a novice too?

It's not like he's short on runners....

Fantastic find Eggs, I owe you a beer if we ever meet. Gutted I missed the price everyone else took then really annoyed 7 went 5 post race really quick. Happy with 7's

[Spectre]

Maybe the other way round? We know Colreevy acts at Cheltenham and has run well there twice. Elimay was humped on her only visit.

[Garrison Savannah]

Elimay is 2/1 to place in the Mares Chase if anyone fancies playing that market.

That’s with Sky.

Elimay isn't a novice though

He is for the Marsh though.

I think Limerick looks most likely based on what he said today.
But I believe the owners persuaded him to run her in the grade one against the boys at Christmas.

So it may depend now on the owners preference rather than Willie's.

Limerick (who they may have an affinity to for all I know) or Cheltenham for a third year.

Of all his novice chasers, she's earned the right to go to Cheltenham, alongside Energumene and Monkfish.

I think if Envoi Allen drops out, it'll be a no brainer.

It may also depend a little bit on how Pencilfulloflead performs next time up.

At a rough guess I'd rate her at about 150, so she's right up there ratings wise, with an allowance.
