That was painful.

Still feel like he had every chance until he decided to run through the fence rather than jump it!

Hope both are OK though. Derek was still down, last time I saw.

Indeed! He was going some pace into it!

thought Derek could have taken a pull a little.

Fancy a Lucinda each way double in the opening 2 races myself!

I agree that's a price you can play, I'm just worried that he needs bottomless ground to be seen at his best and unless anyone has a reliable 8 week forecast it's a total guess up.
It it were to be good to soft on champion chase Wednesday I couldn't have a bean on him...

Agree Ista. Will need it deep and if it is then Gaelic beats him anyway.

Can't see him beating Jonbon on that ground tomorrow so more than happy to leave him alone. IMO he'd be the best of Willies to step up to the Ryanair but connections appear to have other ideas. Maybe if he gets hammered tomorrow then they'll have a rethink.

[Benjy23]

Would have to agree this is a decent cover bet for those who don't have him. I hesitate to say good as I expect Jonbon to beat him on Saturday and I'm not sure if a bet I expect to be a loser can be a good bet? Can it be a good cover bet in that situation?

Aye, this was my problem with the bet. I wouldn't back the first leg at 2/1, so can it really be good value I think mathematically it works though and I've convinced myself I'm happy with that...

If he beats the 2/1 fav for the champion chase then he likely goes that sort of price himself.

Istabraq I don't like to guess the weather but there has been plenty of 'soft' ground champion chases recently. I agree he'd prefer it that way. But so would Gaelic Warrior. And I'm not sure there's much else for the race (if he's already put Jonbon away). Although I'd be trying to find something else on the day

Myretown was one of my very early 'Under The Radar' horses, back in October.

I'm not sure I'd want to be backing him for the NHC, I see one of the shorter handicaps being an option, whether the Ultima, or even the Plate, however, he would require one more run after today to qualify for them, plus a hike in the weights to get in.

I'm expecting this trip, off this weight, to be a big help and, although a competitive enough field, do think 9/2 about him for today is a cracking price.

Tempted with the 12s Energumene at Hills.

Tempted with the 12s Energumene at Hills. 2s for Saturday so you're looking for him to go 10/3 or less for Champion Chase with a win. If he beats Jonbon in the conditions on Saturday then it'd be hard to see him not beating him again at Cheltenham...

I've been against him for CC all season but it's not a race I have a strong view on at the moment.
