2023 Hunter Chase

[Native River]

Noticed Storyteller in the race at Down Royal, very solid horse. Is he even valid to run at the festival in this as I know he placed in graded races in 2021 and can never remember the cut off dates for this?

Sax has backed him for it so he must be

Great, good enough for me that!

Won three P2Ps, gradual improvement through them.

Its D-Day at Down Royal for him and a couple of other decent class older ex-graded chasers, vs Vaucelet though.

He has qualified

[Lobos]

If he wins then he deserves to go fav as Vaucelet is meant to be the tops !

Chris' Dream just won a P2P again. Not sure if he is coming here.

if i knew he was i would be quite keen

Think that should be him qualified after winning today - he now has won 2 PTP races so he meets the criteria to run. Finished 2nd in a Grade 1 in Oct 2020, I think this falls outside the timeframe of when horses can do this (Samcro 2nd in G2 in Nov '21 cannot qualify for this years renewal).

Son of the owner had name checked the Chelt Hunters Chase for him a few months ago on a podcast, so that looks like job done today. (See post 7 on this thread also)

The Henry De Bromhead trained Chris's Dream supplemented his Moig South victory in November by making all the running under Maxine O'Sullivan to beat Welsh Saint by a very smooth three lengths. The Brian Acheson owned Chris's Dream is now qualified for the Cheltenham Foxhunters.

Best price now of 10/1 for anyone interested... 11/1 with Ladbrokes if you get the boosts.

Not added myself.... as can't work out what his 10th in a Gold Cup in 2020 tells me

He’s a bridle merchant that has no guts in a battle. I’d have to be hard up to side with him anytime but especially at Cheltenham!

Finds nothing off the bridle is the absolutely worst
Closely followed by having no guts.

Do I trust you enough to not go back and check all his runs though ..... I think I do

[Liammet]

Decent looking Hunters Chase at Thurles on Sunday if all turn up

Billaway and Winged Leader against the up and coming pair on Ferns Lock and Ultimate Optimist

Unlikely Christie will run all 3

Billaway usually needs his first run

Still no sign of Good Bye Sam
