2025 Mares Chase

[darlojim]

I know you don't go by ratings, but on RPR she got the same (143) as she did when 2nd to Dancing City. So, more than creditable run, but not the improvement you would of hoped to have seen, especially not if you have backed her for the Mares Chase. She is showing as having a handicap mark of 146 so the NHC and Kim Muir would have been ruled out anyway. Still time to supplement for the BANC where only Ballyburn and Croke Park would be rated higher accounting for the weight allowance...

Out of interest what did Spindleberry get then?

145. Be a 7lb swing at Cheltenham in the Mares. Don't believe Spindleberry gets a penalty for a listed win.

Only penalties for Grade 1 and Grade 2 wins

Yeah been quiet on here regarding her since yesterday

Was a really poor run even taking into consideration the weight she was conceding.

I'd said previous that Derek said further the better, softer the better, and that might not be far off but all in all it was very underwhelming. She would have been a good ride for him in the NHC thats for sure

How do backers of her feel? Their opinions may be different?

She's (as of right now) my best result in the race

My opinion is that 13/2 NRNB is fair enough, as she's only run on soft or worse and she'd have an E/W shout at that price


On anything at all resembling good she won't run and if she did she'd have no chance of winning


I'm expecting her to be a NR now

Mark Walsh on Dinoblue
Paul Townend on Allegorie De Vassy

Re-match between those two for the win isn't it really?


Spindelberry not that interesting ante post now as Paul will be on ADV so if you liked Spindelberry (and I assume most on here would have already taken the NRNB price) will be a bigger price on the day than now


Limerick Lace you'd assume also needs soft, but at 7/1 she's a better bet than Bioluminescence at 13/2?

Only By Night the only other single figures. I'd been assuming Arkle for her but they may re-think?




and ante post Telepathique I'm just ignoring as a Lucy Wadham horse won't be shorter today than on the day

20/1 bar



Anyone got a strong fancy and reason to get excited about the race?

Probably summed up fairly enough

I was happy with the result, as prior to the race yesterday, was worried as someone who weren't on her after how she performed against DC.

Do agree she's very likely to be a NR now I'd say

I find the race a bit of a mess to work out now. Will Gavin let Only by night take her chance now with Bio maybe unlikely to go and Limerick Lace seems weak enough on Betfair (also 1 or 2 rumours she was out today aswell)

Tiny bit now ....

What do we know

[Lobos]

Ground come good for Dino. No problem getting up the hill this year.

She'll win today.

[FinalFurlong91]

Never in doubt

I'd like to thank jonny dineen for putting her up on upping the ante

I wouldn't have backed her had bet365 not offered the 9/2 price boost

Was a no brainer at that price

She'd have won last year had she been ridden like that. Was glad she didn't as I was on limerick but she would've.

[Benjy23]

Wonder how far she'd have won if she stayed

Ground made all the difference didn't it. Ridden up with the pace today as he knew she'd get home. Great bet and a super price.
