  • You would think he might have an easy passage in the UK to the festival so it should be the Supreme, think Nico said the ground is good out there which to me marks up the performance as he will handle worse ground and get further which is a plus in a Supreme.

    • Very impressive for sure. Looks a tall leggy sort.

        Yeah looks a big thing similar to Douvan. Could be just my eyes though.

          • Maybe it was caue Nico's on board, but did he look a tad small?

            • Did Henderson say what the plan is for the next race - do we think he will follow the Jonbon route to Ascot and Haydock?

                I can see that. Big hooves to live up to.

                • ….Henderson re Jet Powered;

                  ”He’s not a horse you’d do an awful lot with at home because he’s quite an active sort of person and a bit on it at times. He’s done everything we’ve asked him to do and jumps well & you’d have to be very pleased. This is a nice race to start in and there’s a lot to look forward to. He’s a chaser in the making and will get a bit further so the future is in front of him. I think we’ll stay at 2 miles and tinker along quietly, there’s no rush. There’s a long way to go before he’s the finished article.”

                    He looked like a tall leggy future chaser to me

                      That was my thinking too, I immediately went looking for a 2024 Arkle price…

                        Yes agreed.

                        • Might be a long shot, but worth getting a quote from Sky for JP to win Supreme and Arkle 24?

                            Someone asked Skybet on Twitter before the race but they wouldn't give odds on it.

                              I know a few bookies had comprehensive ‘year after’ markets last season, I mean in Feb/Early March 2022 they had most/all 2023 markets up.
                              The problem is that come Feb Jet Powered could be a short price for this seasons Supreme and with Constitution Hill set to win multiple Champion Hurdles I don’t think they’d hesitate sending JP chasing.
                              Cue the 6/1 quotes…

                                Yeah, JP Arkle and CH to staying hurdling. If they both go chasing then they'll be kept apart.
