2024 Novice Chasers

[Lobos]

Have to be happy with that from the Novice SAF. Doesn't happen very often at all.

On a line through The Real Whacker he's bang there at last years BANC and I'm not sure anyone is thought of higher than GC was last year?

Fact to File? They think he's a Gold Cup horse from the trainer whose won 3 of the last 5.

Grangeclare West bought for considerably more at open sale than GC 9 months after GC was bought. Hurdling didn't go great but still rated higher than GC in that discipline.

Last year's BANC was pretty shit. I'm not sure Gerri would have been favourite for any of the previous 5 or so BANCs.

I think there's a retrospective downplaying of GC, he went off 5/4 for a reason and from memory was a strong favourite pretty much from the turn of the year. If he has been in that bog 2022 I don't think I could have found a cash point with enough money in it for the bet I'd have wanted!

Fact to File may be talked of as a potential GC but plenty of horses are. He has still never gone 3m and has a loss to American Mike this season? Not sure how anyone could hype that over Stay Away Fays resume from this season.

Wowsers. Garlic has a big , big challenger. Ginny's was ultra impressive. AKA Stage Star last year. Say no more.

Not sure he’s the stable number 1 with HA around.
Be interesting if they both get entered who HC picks to ride.
He has said before that he thinks GD is below HA and SAF standard.
But now he has yesterdays performance.

It feels like GDC all over again in terms of last minute (to us) race switches. Gaelic ends up in the Arkle as the only one who could serve it to Marine (I hope not and he still has to prove it at Chelts), Facile goes Turners because he's shit (relatively imo) at 2m and the BANC is a lottery, which I hope doesn't matter as Stay Away Fay takes it (pocket and hope talking).

There are always changes that fuck our AP bets up, we just hope that we've got the eventual winner covered. For me I'm going to get some big point 3/4-horse accas locked in with those I hope/believe will win (C.Hill, Lossiemouth, El Fabiolo, Dinoblue, Marine)

Forgot Sir Gino and Jade De Grugy...

Forgot Sir Gino and Jade De Grugy...

She was ultra impressive yesterday as well. Looks like Kenny has found another Honeysuckle! She wins imo.

Is Nick Rockett declared for a 3m race to enable him to qualify for the National Hunt Chase ? I thought he was declared to run at Naas today in the 3m1f Novice Chase but not listed. Time is running out.

Not yet. All eyes on whether he is declared for the Ten Up in Navan, 2 week today, 11 February. That's a 3m novice chase.

[BuckingThe Trend]

Ah. OK. One last chance. Got to go there hasn't he.

The 9/1 probably won't last with Embassy Gardens then .....

Do we have any more clues where Broadway Boy goes?

If he goes NHC, then he’s prob best horse in race & looks one of value plays

Market seems obsessed with finding the Willie horse & not yet seen one that looks good enough to win this

[Nwfb89]

Ginnys destiny given a rpr of 161 for yesterday

His price has held for the NHC on the exchange since he was beaten at Warwick so I wonder if they'll head in that direction.

Not sure who they'd get to ride if he did line up in the NHC.
