Sir Gerhard has multiple options over both hurdles and fences at Cheltenham, but Mullins is favouring the three-mile Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase after the gelding made a triumphant seasonal bow in a beginners’ chase late last month.

He said: “His hurdle form is good enough to go anywhere, but at the moment I’d be thinking longer trips, just going that bit slower.

“Over a longer trip there’s more jumps and more opportunity to make a mistake, but I just think for him, with his lack of experience, we’ll possibly take a chance in the Brown Advisory. That’s the way I’m thinking at the moment anyway, but nothing is set in stone.”

I love Sir G. Happy with BANC as his target. It looks the weakest of the 3 Novice chases. Apart from Gerri, there's nothing that scares me.

[opatcho]

Starting to go off Sir G, and go off him in the Turners. So I’ve cashed out my single on him for now

[FinalFurlong91]

Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole myself

hes had a terrible prep

Only one chase start and didn't jump very well

Also not certain to stay given how keen he was in the ballymore

Definitely not one for me

Gerri almost blue across the board again tonight, connection’s played a very clever game keeping expectations down from a hype point of view & Gordon has plotted his progress out perfectly with the bigger picture in mind.

As I touched on before there’s shades of Don Cossack’s plan about things which is understandable after Samcro & Envoi Allen’s early plateaued careers!

Blessing in disguise missing the Albert Bartlett last year, will do him wonders! That race tends to break a lot of horses and they never seem to fulfil whatever potential they went in with!

[Muswell]

Quite a lot of success stories too Minella Indo, Allaho, Bobsworth etc

Bit of a strange write up.

A dual Grade One winning chaser makes no appeal at 5/2, but a horse who's "only" won a grade 2 is good value at 4 or 5/1. If that's the case, Indigo Breeze is a cert for the Kim Muir...

Might have to have a saver on Flanking Maneuver if he turns up here after todays run. Any comments after the race to if he’ll come over?

wary of the *bounce factor*

It'll be a double bounce as he still has to run again. To qualify.
That was his first start over fences.
Also not entered.

edit, sorry mate, thought this was NH chase thread

He's not qualified the NHC somer, nothing to worry about, you've got yourself a great bet there!
