2023 Novice Chasers

Looked good indeed. The only issue could be jockey booking which pretty much decides the NHC given the huge disparity in the quality.

Derek O'connor, Rob James or Barry O'neill wouldn't be the worst..

Of course the standout 2 are Paddy and Jamie but they aren't as bad as plenty of the amateurs haha

derek o'connor wont be available if there's a JP runner most likely so between barry O'neill and rob james most likely depending on circumstances

Yes of course, but there doesn't appear to be a standout potential horse as of yet for him. He will get a very nice ride if he isn't retained.

[Exar Essay]

Very impressive. Not sure what he’s beaten, but did it with ease. 20/1 seems very fair … same price as Bardenstown Lad!!

Derek rode Vanillier last year, so it does happen where JP doesn't have a runner although last year's running was a bit of a weird one with so small a field.

[Bonjers]

Riding Vanillier over fences would be enough to convince you never to ride in the race again!

Was just happy to just have the declaration. It's the route he takes to March that matters mainly. Be nice for him to run well of course. Not backed him today. Mullins horse will likely be too lively for him over this distance.

Happy with that. And onto Cheltenham in October.

365 out to 33/1 if you're looking to go in again.

Nope. Got what I want on already. Won't get greedy. There's another 6 to do in the race yet !

Surely Gordon will have something better than ash tree meadow for the NH chase? He’s gaining experience and following the tried and tested races but I can’t help but feel underwhelmed by him

Worth remembering when Galvin won today's race he beat a 119 horse into 2nd. Today's race was miles better. The first two pulled well clear of a 144 rated horse and the winner is a really progressive type. It was a hot little race. ATM's close 4th to Hewick looks very good indeed now based on that winners subsequent performances. He'll be much better over further as well. Don't give up in him.

Gerri Colombe would be of interest for me too. Not sure Gaillard Du Mesnil would be that worried about Ash Tree Meadow at this stage.
