2024 Novice Chasers

[FinalFurlong91]

Gaelic Warrior barely jumped to his right in last years Ballymore. I've watched the race 3 times in the last fortnight.
Aside from the last 2 or three he was straight enough. And pretty quick.

Patrick did say he hung to his right and this might be the weak point, although I re watched to look at Patricks hands to see if he had his left hand brake on, and if anything he just seemed keen and this looked to my eye to be what probably made him fade a little up the hill, but even then he stayed on well enough, just nowhere near as well as IEP.

However, I wasn't sat on him and Patrick was.
But he also said Appreciate and Tullyhill felt like 3 milers in their novice season. And a lot of jockeys blurt out stuff immediately after the race that's not always factually accurate.
Maybe his arse is numb like mine after just sitting through Dune 2. Excellent film by the way.

Proper cinema film and a must watch, best film iv seen in a long time

First book is an excellent read

Dune gets gradually weirder and weirder after that

Gonna be tough for villeneuve to adapt dune messiah to the same very high level for the third film. But very much looking forward to it in a few years time.

Yeah it was ace.
The 2 films seemed to cover the first book and my mum says the next stuff gets weird. Always been a tricky story to film but this lad has done an astounding job so far.
He might have to stray a bit for the next part.

One of my favourites is Blade Runner 2049, fucking loved that.

Dune messiah gets weird
children of dune gets very very weird

Blade runner 2049 was great I agree. The director seems an expert in making visually stunning films.

Yeah him and Nolan still making films for the cinema.
Villenueve creates worlds like George Miller.

All ifs and buts, but what price do we see ginnys destiny Thursday morning if Grey dawning and Facile vega are lining up against him?

As of earlier today, Facile is a runner here with Paul.Willie not running FV v GW so he goes Arkle both with PT.
Very confident in FV (yes we heard that before..)

[Jrow]

Good news for my 120/1 GW arkle, FV Turners double

[Kevloaf]

Idalko Bihoue

100/1 for the Turners

Beat long time fav Ginny's Destiny in a handicap over 2m4f on the Old Course in October


Obviosuly no chance and 300+ on the exchanges so probably goes for the Plate, but at least it's something to cling on to

Cheers mate already on Facile at decent price in my book, he'll end up going off fav won't he?

Almost certainly!

A few wins for Willie on Day 1 and 2 and he's FAV

What price you reckon kev, 15/8 7/4 ish?

I think Ginny has to drift so maybe only 5/2

I see he's only best priced 7/2 now which makes sense

I think he has to yes if he puts it all together he beats these, trip should bring lot of improvement. Just doesn’t jump like a 2m horse, too slow. Good gallop and ground will suit

I think GW will go off short too and win!

Music to my ears, took chance on Facile at 11s for turners and Gaelic at 8s which was nrmb for arkle, whacked a fair bit on so hopefully beat the price and hedge on the exchange

Thanks for the info R4H much appreciated.
Im actually looking at trying to get Grey Dawning onside ,think he’s a huge player in the Turners if that’s where he goes, and FV being fav could help.

Although I am concerned for GW and a left handed 2m chase, I have done the double with FV, so your input is good to hear.
