2023 Novice Chasers

[DenmanSacre]

That was a proper race. Banbridge hugely impressive. Arkle all the way for him.

Racing Post novice chase next at Leopardstown? Could take on some of Mullins horses and see if he is a true 2 miler or not.

He's definitely a true 2 miler.......we've just seen it there ! Quick ground as well.

so banbridge the third time lucki of the 22/23 season

Can still cash out Banbridge for the NHC with Bet365 for anyone wanting to.

beating a 156 rated hurdler, hardly... thats way wide of the mark to compare him to TTL...

Still not 100% sure. Tommys Oscar was too far back to really challenge on a track that suits front running chasers. Beating the English and beating the pick of Mullins 2 milers is also a different level.

2L infront coming to 2 out, finishes about 10 infront hands and heels at the line... Gotta jump them

He wasn't though was he ?
Agree with second point though.
More than likely end up in the turners if well beat over xmas.

not really my point, my point is everyone thinks they've found a festival winner, winning supposed trial races at this meeting. Be it the Arkle, Triumph hurdle, Ballymore.

I thought Tommys Oscar was going to put it up to him, was going the better of the 2 coming round the bend and then was hampered which seemed to lose momentum.

Not saying he would have won but would have been closer imo.

yep got checked pretty badly losing momentum, would have been a fair bit closer.

Don't think anyone's gone that far have they ? No one's counting any money yet. Just appreciating good performances and very good rounds of jumping. If people can't get excited about that then they are in the wrong game. The Paddy Power GC was a sensational race. Exactly the reason I go racing.

[Winging The Last]

Hopefully Grand Jury is alright there. Was giving TSL a real go then, had Davy at work then before he fell

[AaronLad]

I thought that was very good from banbridge today. 160+ performance. puts him well in to the arkle picture.
