Cheltenham Form Boosts

[Odin]

I have tried to find the interview but can’t…obviously I can’t comment without seeing interview, but my gut feeling was mares hurdle next year (at age of 7) and then a novice chase campaign at 8. But maybe they will bring that forward a year. And if they are talking staying chases, that really points only to Browns Advisory. And then gold cup? Shame as I really fancy her for the mares hurde
next year!

Also couldn't find the interview Exar Essay mentioned (and don't have access to racing TV) but happy to take him at his word that staying suggests RSA - it does fit with breeding

I also fancied her for mares hurdle though so be interesting to see what they do. If they fancy her as a gold cup runner she does have to go novice chasing next year though really

I have tried to find the interview elsewhere and can’t. I think it’s only available on Racing TV.

I assume you guys can’t access that?

I’d stress that Snowden didn’t namecheck a race or even state she would be a 3m chaser. He did however state that 3m chasers is what the owner wants and that he might finally have one. As I say, I won’t be betting her antepost (silly machine prices aside) but my impression was that she’d be tried over fences this year with an aim of stepping up to 3m.

It would make sense for them to go to the Mares Chase in her novice chase season. She’s the pace to win over 2m so step her up gradually and take on the boys in her 2nd season.

One I’ve noticed from the MNH is Endless Escape. Won a few races beforehand with similar form lines to YWIW and seems to want 2m4f+. Much lesser profile and might go under the radar in next couple of races depending on opposition

Thanks mate, yes I could access that (surprisingly) but it's the worst on demand player I've ever experienced - paused every 2 minutes and had to refresh the page to carry on viewing. Interview is at about 1hr 21mins for anyone interested in YWIW.

I agree with your summary - they said she will go over a fence at some point, which is same as quote after mares novice, but added she'd be schooled before summer to see where she's at. I think Mares Chase/RSA (Snowden mentioned she was entered in Bartlett and owner wanted her to go there) are most likely at this point and I'd argue RSA is where she will be if owner gets his way but also holding fire for now unless I can steal Exar's fancy exchange prices The key negative with the RSA at this stage is that to me it looks likely to be a strong or, at the very least competitive, edition next year which is a complete contrast to how it looked to me at this stage last year when Cocooner and TNG looked a little bit ahead (that worked out well )

Slow to spot but Apple Away did have a form line with You Wear It Well both beating the same Skelton horse - She’s A Saint. Interested in how YWIW gets on today.

Have to say Corach Rambler boosted the Ultima form last week. Monbeg Genius and Oscar Elite both running at Ayr tomorrow after showing up well in the Ultima. Better ground at Ayr should suit both as well, assuming there's not too much rain. Little each way double from me.

I'm aware The Goffer didn't exactly do it any favours in the Irish National.

Anti Bridgie runs today 14:00 Perth. Beat Apple Away at Kelso in December. Big price today, 2nd run after a wind op

Interested to see how Jonbon goes here against the older horses today. Not enough in the price to double him today and El Fab Champion Chase but that's what I'm hoping to see

[Benjy23]

Jonbon did it well despite a few sketchy jumps, especially early doors. Serious engine. Which gives the impression El Fab is almost unbeatable already
