2025 Cross Country Chase

[Durham Edition]

….JoB re Busselton;
‘I was happy with his run over hurdles at Navan over the week. The plan for him is to go to the Cross-Country Handicap Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. I thought he took quite well to the obstacles when he ran over them in December, and we’ll probably put blinkers or cheekpieces back on him at Cheltenham.‘

Fakir;
‘We’ll see how he is in the coming weeks. If he’s well, I’d say he’ll most likely run in the Cross-Country Handicap Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. He ran ok in his first attempt at that course in December and I’d be hopeful he’ll come on from that and be sharper around there next time as he’ll need to be.‘

Great news on the blinkers I'm sure I heard someone saying that his best runs are when the blinkers are on. I don't know how to check this on the RP website.

Little b next to his weight in the form. You'll see he wore them on 25th September 24 but hasn't worn them since. Most big handicap runs have seen him where them, including when winning the Kerry National in 2022

The 9-1 NRNB looks tasty now for Vanillier.
Only given 147 for the National.

Would they do him dirty?

I know they 'can' do that but I guess it's rare?

100% Quevega! And Stumptown given 157, I know who I’d have favourite between the 2 and it isn’t Stumptown

[Studfarm254]

Also the Goffer down to 137 is quite simply stunning!

[darlojim]

Yep the Goffer 137 will do me lovely

….i’m still waiting for the Galvin offer

[Frankely My Dear]

Agree. John carpenters vampires one of my favourite comedies of all time.

I haven't seen it but want to now. Made me think of Mr Vampire where they could stop them by sticking Chinese post-its to the forehead. Liked it when I was young, might be a pile of shit if I watched it now

Noticed this is on there at 80-1.

….thanks, had some of that. Noticed Galvin’s odds have had a bit of a slow haircut, now a best 11/2 doesn’t seem that long ago it was 10s.

[Kevloaf]

Yeah I'm taking the Galvin 80/1 just because I love him
