2024 Novice Chasers

That's my worry. I don't want connections leaning towards the Gold Cup. Not for me but they might be people who view getting placed in the Gold Cup is a better achievement than winning the BANC.

I'd think that's very unlikely

Just watched Embassy Gardens debut back again. He was very impressive. Jumping was great and just gallops away. Big stride on him. Looks ideal ride in the NHC. Has pace to go BANC as well if they wanted too.

Money has finally arrived for Gaelic in the Irish arkle.
Was daft price at 6-1
So was Dream to Share at 6-1 for the Bumper.

Makes complete sense for him to go for the Arkle trial to test him LH . If he still hates going that way then there's no point at all travelling over imo.

Yep, most expected that to be the case and to also test Marine Nationale as Willie don't like these graded races being gifted to others.
Anyway, caution needed because last year the markets for these Dublin races and Paddy Power's shenanigans was proper roller coaster stuff.

I'm very surprised at Facile Vega's price as I'd have thought they'd forgive the one run like last year as it was to bad to be true and Patrick was being over thinking things as he can do from time to time. Maybe they are heading for the longer trip or another race (not irish arkle) with him.

[Lobos]

Agree. Gone very, very quiet on Vega. Wouldn't be surprised if there were an issue with him ? Has there been any recent news with regards his well being?

Jamie Codd says if he could ride any horse in this years NHC it would be Cocooner

Such a shame he's not riding at the Fez. I always back his blind in the amateur races and it rarely fails. Brilliant jockey.

Think he mentioned him before too.

Salvador Ziggy is the stand out for me, ignoring his trip to the States, and on all known chase performances. That handicap run off a big weight was extremely good.

The exchanges have also been pointing this way over last week or so.

Imagine Gaelic beating Marine in Dublin. ?
Said same weeks ago, but getting closer now.
He'd definitely go Arkle if he did, assuming no mitigating circumstances.
