2025 Novice Chasers

Lovely horse, I really like him...but Ginos just going to breeze past coming off the final bend and kick on isn't he.

[Hurricane fly]

Assume something is wrong with IA.

Seemed like the rest were hunting for marks! how you let a horse go out on his own with an 8 length advantage (from FF and IA) and never even try and close. I just don't know what the riding instructions must have been.

[Lobos]

Winner not likely to be Supplemented after listening to trainer/owner.

Owner thinks Cheltenham is a graveyard for young horses!

[Brooksie]

Sir Gino just wins Leau du Sud and Majborough to fight it out for 2nd

[DenmanSacre]

He will have learned a lot there. Fairly poor at 2 then winged the next. Gonna be some pace on in this Arkle and hopefully finally see SG vs Maj. I think SG will be superior over 2m but Maj will be a force next year if stepped up.

I did tell you all ile atlantique was a yak

Just took him another race to prove me right

Kind of indictative of the mainland just seen a fantastic horse race,2 very good grade one chasers battling it out and afterwards, handstands aintree, kalif aintree and hendo now probably sending his to aintree, all have reasonable logic and im not having a pop at all, all quite understandable but it just makes me feel slightly deflated about it all.

Maj has a fall in him if he continues to jump like he did there - Nevertheless a very exciting clash in store come March

Agreed, Lots of GC winners used to go the Arkle route first,they'll meet once then they'll be on very different paths.

Yes he’s caught the same bug as he did last season. Put it in my diary for 2026 too

Bit sketchy at one or two, but a very very powerful beast.

Much like El Fabiolo in the race a couple of seasons back.

Serious horse. Just has a special horse heading the market.

[Zachx02]

I reckon Gino has Majborough beat turning home in the Arkle, just a different calibre animal in my opinion and no disrespect to majborough there

Just don’t think the rest were quick enough to cope with the pace

Should have pulled him. Carnage was right ,he's a deep ground specialist.

Thankfully I made the right decision and cashed him for a profit. Couldn't see him beat Maj or SG. Will be a very good race between those two. Cheltenham will suit Maj better than today for sure.

Not so sure myself
Could be a classic!!
