2024 Novice Chasers

Corbetts Cross the one isn't he that could blow the race apart

Looks like he may run, would go off fav. and likely Derek

Is CC an intended runner in the NHC does anyone know?

[Quevega]

10-1 Now so didn't last long.

Meetingofthewaters available at 33-1 Betvictor right now.
Bit of an error that one.
Already on myself but surely some takers for that.

…33-1 on Oddschecker but 8-1 on site.

…33-1 on Oddschecker but 8-1 on site.

Yeah, lasted 5 minutes or so.

…looking like they all are, 8-1 best price NHC.

Can’t imagine that’s because of the entry

He is entered up all over

Doesn’t have an entry for a qualifier yet

[Quevega]

Bookies piss taking. On Entry Day as usual.

They've cut most horses entered and aside from Grangeclare West, none have gone the other way.

Yep. He'll need that entry soon. Not many races available.

He’ll be earmarked for the grade 3 at Naas at the end of the month I’d have thought.

Entered at DRF in 2m 5f chase. NHC Backers will be hoping he doesn't take that up or else that'll be it.

I am sure I heard Ruby say in the PP podcast that Embassy Gardens ( already qualified ) was going there and that leaves one at Navan

They could run the 2 at Naas of course

[Lobos]

How many does Willie normally run in NHC??

Will he stay 3m6f?

He'd be doubtful to imo, has plenty of speed

And doesn't jump the best

If he was fav and iv had a good start to day 1 I'd be going in heavy against him I reckon

Allaho wasn't beaten out of sight, and Thistlecrack never ran in the Albert Bartlett mate? Paisley Park did though and you're right, he did return better than ever when winning a Stayers Hurdle the following season.

You're a fair judge, but to me it wasn't one of the best novice chases so far. Connections don't even know what to do with Corbetts Cross by the sounds of it, Three Card Brag I've already mentioned and Nick Rockett won well enough next time out but they seem to be thinking he's a Grade 2 animal, not the top level we were probably hoping for at the beginning of the season.

He certainly is one that looked like fences would bring out the best of him, and like I say, I may have got him wrong, either way I wish you the best of luck with him, but he's not for me

I was sure Thistlecrack ran in the AB

We aren't going to agree with every horse - I'm just hoping this is one you've got wrong!
