Possibly. Not sure if they'll try to get him better handicapped next season for the Grand National. -
Did GDM stay the trip?
Looked the winner then didnt find at allComment

Stattler was a massive takeaway for me this year. Looks GC and Grand Nash. I've taken 20s GC but not sure how what main target will be. No doubt the owner would love to win the GC after their Galvin hopes last year but also came agonisingly close in the GN. Any thoughts or heard any trainer comments etc. ThanksComment

Weight in comparison to his rivals possibly? He was running off 154 and giving over a stone to the 2nd and and best part of 2 stone to the winner. He seemed to keep on well enough, just a bit slower than them. Wouldn't have him as a non starter.Originally posted by FinalFurlong91 View PostComment

Think G.D.M clipped the last or second last as well. ( i might have to watch that back).Comment

Demandrivingdouvan going over hurdles next season! Gordon wants him out at punchestown before a hurdles campaign next season.Comment

Did Cheltenham take the edge off him as well as the weight? I don't necessarily think 8/1 is a good price now, but surely it's better than the 10/1 stattler we had this time last year?Originally posted by FinalFurlong91 View PostComment

The Donnellys and Willie also have Ramillies as a staying novice chaser next year.Originally posted by FinalFurlong91 View Post
Willie had the below quote for Ramillies at the start of this season and was just one I had marked for potential NHC 2023.
"He shows me a lot at home but has disappointed on the racetrack. He’s a fine, big chasing type."
He Should be one that comes on for a fence.Comment

Yes, he looked (to me at least) like he was about to take it up fairly comfortably until he hit the 2nd last which checked his momentum.Originally posted by FinalFurlong91 View PostComment

Another thought some may be interested in is Frontal Assault who will also be a second season novice for the NHC and may well be Gordon Elliotts dart for that (certainly the most obvious candidate at this moment). He's generally 12s but Skybet are offering 25/1.Comment

A tired jump? He barely got off the ground watching it backOriginally posted by Lbur4288 View Post
having not already backed him will definitely swerve him at 8/1, is he definitely being put away for the rest of the season as well?Comment

I saw it as a genuine error rather than outright tiredness but we all see things differently. I've no reason to go back in at 8s but I understand why people wouldn't, it is poor this far out but could still look good again in a matter of months.Originally posted by FinalFurlong91 View PostComment

Before the 3rd and 2nd last it's like the dodgems between a few of them and his stride is probably not where it wants to be, makes a bit of a mess but still gets over it. Stays on well enough to cling onto 3rd. Given that, the weight carried and it being the end of the season i'm happy enough with what I saw. The 4th was only having its 3rd run of the season and had just won a big pot at Uttoxeter. Plenty of other decent types well behind. Wouldn't be rushing to go in at 8/1 but the 16's that was available straight after was more than fair.Originally posted by FinalFurlong91 View PostComment
