2023 Novice Chasers

[ComplyOrDie]

Monmiral looks like he needs 2m4f

Thoroughly impressed by the speed and accuracy of jonbons jumping, he pinged the 5 down the back

Quite possibly so. Was an easy cash out decision for the Arkle, anyhow, and minimal losses for the potential upside should he have beat Jonbon.

[Lobos]

Nice form boost for Constitution Hill as well. Not that one was needed!

[HoldenTheReins]

The price for Jonbon now is ridiculous. Will probably be around that or better once Mullins unleashes his.

If they are any good that is. Bookies taking no chances these days.

I hope Jonbon looks like a star today. I know it's early in the season but we've had a few decent horses out already and I've been a bit underwhelmed by most of them. Hoping we see one to get a bit excited about this afternoon.

Very impressed with Jonbon, nice to get properly excited about one! Thought Monmiral jumped really nicely too, maybe he'll be tried over further or just avoid Jonbon in the future.

Impressive debut, superb jumping on the whole, but the price is too short. I doubt we'll learn much more than that before Cheltenham

Still could still get evens on the day and would rather take that than the price offered now. El Fab wasn't far behind at Aintree but has to take to fences obviously.

Great start that, jumped very quick on a nice sharp track vs two decent rivals.

Not far behind is generous to put it lightly. He won a neck and El Fab wins without a mistake 9 times out of 10 IMO. It was a great debut don't get me wrong, but I suspect Willie has at least 1 that would have done the same. Agree re price stance.

Agreed. Was only his 3rd race for Mullins also.

Agreed. Was only his 3rd race for Mullins also.

The other side of that argument is Jonbon had a very hard race at Cheltenham 3 weeks prior to Aintree, I haven’t a penny on Jonbon as he was always a bit short for me. I’m in the El Fabiolo camp!

Agree. Wouldn't be taking that now as a single

I don't see many of the other prices lengthening either while Jonbon's significantly shortens. On the sort of plus side, that's one half of this race 'sorted' if we see El Fabiolo come out and give a similarly impressive debut.

One 3rd with Banbridge.....

[Faugheen_Machine]

Not much to add. It was everything you'd want to see from a chasing debut. Both him and Monmiral were pretty much foot perfect over the first 5 fences and it was good to see Jonbon shorten when he needed to, and not losing ground in the process. I was impressed.

He's a short enough price for now but it's going to take an outstanding performance for something to leapfrog him at the head of the betting.
