2025 Novice Chasers

[Lobos]

Has it ?
I can't think of a rogue winner...

Whacker, O'Failans Boy, Lord Windermere...

Several more going back

Remember when they called it Fav graveyard.

More favs in recent years with the tiny fields/inclusion of Turners Chase though.

Stretching it a bit to call those 3 "rogue winners". The Real Whacker and Lord Windermere were both only 8/1 and O'Faolains Boy was 12/1 in a 15 runner field when the fav was 13/2.

[Ballybeen]

Really looking forward to seeing how he gets on Eggs.

Last season over hurdles he pulled hard and was held up but imagine they'll let him bowl along in front (like he did in his two previous chase runs) and he could take some passing if it turns into a slugfest.

He's second top rated behind Ballyburn on rprs and it'll be interesting to see who gets the ride.

Paul is the only jockey to have won on him (record of 1121) but he'll not doubt be on Ballyburn and I imagine Danny will ride Dancing City as he did in the AB last year. Could be Brian Hayes who rode Lecky in the Bartlett.

Be great if he makes the frame and at least that objective no longer has the ring of cloud cuckoo land.

Bring it on......

Or more worryingly, Mr P W Mullins.

I backed two of them and they were single figures.
Who is the biggest priced winner in last 20-30 years ?
I'm not sure there's been anything 16/1+...

[EnvoiAlien]

Bostons Angel at 16's
Rule Supreme at 25/1
Can't recall many other double figure winners since the turn of the century.

That's 5 then that have won outside of the top 3 in the betting on the day in the last 25 years.
Which one outside of this year's top 3 could Surprise??

[Zachx02]

5 year olds in the Arkle stat still stands!

[robith]

Have to say that was actual amazing how close Majborough came to winning it given those final 2 jumps

[Hurricane fly]

Great race

Was begging for the line as an Only The Night backer, but incredible by Nico.

Maj has had jumping concerns and they've let him down eventually, somewhat similar to El Fab but he got away with it

Can't wait to troll through the forum and quote those who argued it against me back when

[Burrough Hill Man]

Speechless.
Backed Only By Night

[FinalFurlong91]

I was going to say the jump at the last cost maj the race but looking at the replay jango baie made an almost identical mistake

300/1 in running apparently

Bet the person who layed that needs a stiff drink now

Was a champ esque finish

[Yosser]

had 3 in a 5 runner race, 3rd 4th and 5th feck me. You can have that one bookies. Rest of the meeting is mine. 33/1 on L'eau Du Sud too

[Lbur4288]

I will absolutely be listening to trends more for next year

[Carnage at Taunton]

Loved that after the last from Jango the super sub.
Did not go how I thought it would the race and imo a tad fortunate to win, but take it.
Way he ran he might have won today’s novice.
Mid distance his forte I think but ground could see him a threat over 3m I reckon.
