2024 Novice Chasers

Do you have a link to that article?

It was in his ATR email column Jump Start.

Absolutely. I'd have him ahead of Ziggy. He's on my team already, I'm hoping for an entry soon.

He'll need to be less forward than he was in his novice hurdle season. He wanted to get on with things, so here's hoping he's settled down a bit.

For me, he's the stand out for Willie/Patrick in the market.

He'd be a fascinating contender for a NHC, given how he races, that'll really need to change. If it does though his form is great.

I can send you the Email if that works for you.

Novice chaser and dark horse to follow 25/1 for the National Hunt Chase “Minella Cocooner is coming back from a decent break, but I think he could be a very good novice chaser. His novice hurdle form was excellent, winning a Grade 1 and running well behind The Nice Guy after that. He was beaten in a sole run over fences last year, but could well benefit from that. I wouldn’t rule out Grade 1s over three miles, but if he ended up in something like the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham, he could be as close to a good thing as you can get.”

Great to see everyone hopping aboard the Cocooner train

I was pretty alone when I suggested he could be the NHC back in July

Now all we need is the easy part which is to see him on the track

You was probably alone because apart from, you, Lobos, Eggs and a couple of others there was barely much discussion back in July from others

FWIW he's been near the top of my list for the race for a while, so you're not alone now Jim We just need thay entry!

Can’t be having him . Even when he’s declared to run, I won’t be touching him. Just doesn’t smell right

I can’t have him either with his style of running he won’t get home imo
Can’t see Nick Rocket coming here either
Paying more attention to breeding in these races nowadays and a Walk in the park doesn’t scream NHC to me
I was in Galway when Favori de Champdou finished second to Affordale Fury
He jumped great and stayed on really well at the finish having been left a bit flat footed when the winner quickened
I will hold fire for now as Eddie O’Leary is quoted as not been the biggest fan of this race
Can’t particularly blame him as the prize money compared to the likes of the Irish Grand National is dire

[SeanRock]

Yeah as Jack mentioned earlier he’ll definitely have to start racing less freely than he did in his beginners & over hurdles to get 3m6f well. There’s a good chance that a prolonged period of box rest could have tempered his enthusiasm, he should really be settling down as he matures.

How fickle everyone is. 2 months back we were dreaming about NHC glory for Salvador Ziggy, now we're in love with the Cocooner. 2 months time, I wonder who it will be?

Do you just have 1 antepost bet per race and stick with that throughout the whole season IR?

[SeanRock]

I don’t think you can judge people looking elsewhere after Ziggy’s trip to the USA. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t still have a great shout, he definitely does but it’s only natural.

[SeanRock]

PP out of nowhere pushing Letsbeclearaboutit out to 20’s from 14’s in a market they’re usually not to active in. Their traders must be lurking !

[Studfarm254]

A self proclaimed gambling genius. sure

Giovinco looks an interesting shout, Apple Away definitely does not.

Ballybreeze in the 1.45 Friday. Still 7/1 available with b365. Also doing Brook bay in the 4.05. Admittedly it’s Jonjo though so wouldn’t surprise me if it’s last. You can thank me now or later, just whatever suits, no pressure

Try and stick to the allocated threads, there is a November meeting thread to discuss things like the above
