The NATIONAL HUNT CHALLENGE CUP Novices Handicap Chase

[Eggs]

….Elliott;

’I’ll run two or three. I thought Will Do could be the pick of them. He’s got loads of experience, and I think a bit of drying ground will really suit him. You’ll see a different horse if we get drying ground. Duffle Coat and Stuzzikini could go there too. They’re both a bit hit and miss, but on a good day they could run well.

I see now is the hour not even fav here now

Been a small amount of negativity about him on the previews because of the likely better ground.

Haiti Coleurs seemed to have been tipped up in every preview so far so not surprising.

What top jockeys do we think will ride here now that it's not just for amateurs? I'm trying to work out if Willie letting Paddy ride Transmission instead of one of his own is a plus for Transmission. Surely Townend won't ride here (I presume Captain Cody is Willie's main dart) and would have presumed that Paddy would have been on CC

It's a new situation so for the odd point or two it's just not worth sticking your head above the parapet.

Patrick Mullins is on Transmission as things stand, Neil Mulholland has said.

10lb penalty then for that horse

[Pisto]

Can’t help but think the Kim Muir would have suited Transmission better

[Muswell]

They may have had more joy in that division

Patrick riding Sa Majeste may have had an impact on that.

James Bowen would have ridden Transmission but he's banned.

You could be right, I’ll have a look at the double SM here and Transmission NHC

Great news. Wondered why the money had come for him. He was brilliant on him when he rode him. Both of them suited each other. NHC is definitely the correct race for him as well as he stays forever.

The NHC isn't an amateur race anymore, Patrick is stones off a professional imo.

I'd put that as a negative for Transmission.
