I'm sure he did this last year with RWF, and pulled him out on the day.
He got his runs in early then left him 4 months until the Pipe, when he disappointed.
Maybe he got to thinking that the horse needed a prep last season, and he didn't give him one.
So maybe he should this season.
With the NHC not being a hcap then why not give him a prep.
All guesswork of course.
He loves to have a really good one in the NHC.
Gerri C is lurking around the top of that market too.
If Chem.En runs well/wins on Sunday it probably solidifies Gordons thought on him being the one for the NHC and Gerri can be focused on the BANC."Journeys to Glory, breathing in his head".

why does CE concede 3lbs? CE is the more experienced Chaser but Ramalies jumped well on debut. 50/50 race for most or can one lay a claim in favour of the other , does the ground favour Ramalies sunday?Last edited by 7barrows; 27 January 2023, 11:16 AM.

Question is would you back him on Sunday giving 3lbs to Ramalies on Soft. Would you have 7/4 Joint Favs or something?

So if he fell at the first fence it may not count. I’m sure that’s how it works for getting a mark, it’ll be down to the handicapper.
Someone else may be able to confirm Lobos.

Is it not a case that he needs to complete to a certain extent, so it classes as a run?
