2024 Novice Chasers

I have Marine Nationale backed pretty heavy antepost but I think that tongue tie on the last day and breathing operation which Barry told us was for no major reason is in fact now a big worry. After yesterday I’ll not be going back in drift or not.

[Stormez]

Thanks, hopefully something will come to light.

[HesTheOne]

Arkle is some mess now isn’t it

Did anything ever come to light about F2Fs potential non participation today. Is anybody concerned at all?

Wild guess — Im reading it as Mullins after shuffling GW and FV for the 2miler he didn’t want his current Turners and BANC runners facing off over 2m5f.. but the JP team did.

Just seeing its now a 3 horse.

Surely the Turners/BANC/NHC treble is the play before the race today? Although I’m still very cold the idea of Cheverley Park having a NHC runner and not a Browns.

Has Barry Connell said anything post race about Marine Nationale that I’ve missed?

Jockey Michael O’Sullivan could offer no excuses for the beaten odds-on favourite and said: “He travelled very well, I followed Facile Vega and was where I wanted to be.

“He settled, travelled, jumped and did everything right but after the second-last he didn’t get into gear like he normally does.

“He made a mistake at the last, but I was easing off him by then. No excuses.

“He was a small bit careful over the fourth-last, but other than that I couldn’t put if forward as an excuse. I hope something will show up as he’s better than that. It’s just disappointing.”

Yeah that’s possible and if correct we will see soon enough by how the three jockeys approach the race. I just get the impression Willie won’t be a happy bunny if GW gets beat today.

Thank god he did else it’d be a walkover!

If F2F wins today, then might JP team decide to stay at this trip & go Turners …as looks potential easiest & less tough on young horse?

Where would that leave GW?

Think depends, so many different variables suppose opens Arkle too, depending how the race and he goes!

[DenmanSacre]

Match race between Gaelic and FTF now. Embarrassing. Doubt we'll learn much.

[opatcho]

Was going to back Fact To File today, decent single bet. Had a nap and wake up to the news that this is a two runner race

Simply not good enough!

Either of them should be running in this middle trip distance. Get rid of it. Not enough horses for all three trips - that middle div needs to go. Shake it up

They’ve been p****ing around with GW, fact to file is being talked up as a Gold cup horse. Should be running over 3 miles and the banc

Time to make changes. Can’t see the number of horse ownership going up.

[Kevloaf]

I am trying very hard not to be incredibly disappointed that the Flogas is a 2 runner race.

What the feck.

Seven year old so not young, inexperienced maybe.

But WPM has never held back in the conference he has in the horse hence going straight over fences and he’s very much seen as a gold cup horse next year.

Crap isn't it. We'll find out zilch now. We'll all still be guessing about where they'll end up right up until Decs time. Pointless.
