I can see him treading a similar path to Gaillard Du Mesnil and if he doesn't lose his novice tag throughout the season he could end up in the NH Chase the following season, but ultimately I think he has plenty more boot about him that GDM has and think he's more likely to lose his novice status during this season.
…he’s as low as 14-1 BANC now which makes the 12-1 TWAR look ok, especially if you use the Hills double odds boost to 24-1.
TWAR is probably the best way to go with CK as he could go to any one of 3 Novice Chase and may yet end up in the Stayers should he stay Hurdling or not take to fences.
….Lucinda Russell confirms Apple Away will be going chasing and is ready to run as soon as the ground is soft (link to stable tour in the stable tour thread). Ditto for Giovinco.
No concern starting him off there are all Outlaw. However, Dan knew he would have a fitness and experience advantage, and was very confident about beating Knappers Hill. Nicholls was just giving KH a prep for the Rising Stars. Essentially there were plenty of reasons to take Knappers Hill on. KH will likely be the higher rated fo the two come season end though.
The reply was for Somer with him querying as to why rather than yourself, Yeah I know you have a line into the yard(I actually spotted you post race on ATR given Dan the thumbs up stood next to the winners enclosure), I read the quotes pre race so knew he was very bullish about any of the rivals getting the better of his given his prior chase experience. As an aside any highly rated hurdler who's had two or more years hurdling prior to chasing it's not the worst angle in trying to get them beat given they get priced very defensively on hurdle rating as you know.
Here’s the last I will say on KH. I stand by saying it’s dog shit! If you were the owner would you be happy that you were beat and at that price? English NH racing is going down the drain so would that run give you confidence to have a horse in training in England?

I'd be weary taking a debut run on soft going literally. Will he feature at Cheltenham, highly unlikely, but he was a low 150's hurdler and you wouldn't put it past PN to improve him a bit so dog shit seems a bit far, but each their own.

Won 3 Grade 2's to date if that constitutes Dogshit I'd hate to take you to my Local gaff up at Rolleston and listen to you muse over those types. He's getting nowhere near CH so can't really fault him rolling the dice chasing can you ?
I think he’s another of Nicholls horses that will be campaigned to amass as much prize money as possible, probably without winning big races at the big festivals.
Hes done this with a fair few over the years .
As previously mentioned he’s already earned 270k!!
He’s certainly not dogshit anyway.
Just ridiculous comment.
You can tell not much decent racing is happening when people are arguing about knappers hill
Especially in the context of the Festival I agree. Kauto Star is his race. Cheltenham festival is not. Definitely not dog shit but hopefully not dog food if he goes backwards any more.

Weren’t aware he had gone backwards.
That was his first nov chase against a more experienced one.
And should be no surprise if people argue against stupid comments on here imo.
