Cheltenham Festival
There is currently 1 person viewing this thread.
Just starting a thread about this one.
Liked him a lot last season and he always looked like he would improve over fences.
I was really impressed with his debut lto and am quite surprised that you can still get 16/1.
Anybody else fancy this one?

Absolutely in 100% agreement. His form over hurdles is very good... jumped efficiently , quickly and accurately lto. Staying is his game and he looks like fences could make a man outta him particularly the strenuous RSA chase which takes a hell of alot of stamina to win. He should hack up tomorrow with Adams Islands the only danger
|

By:
Signed in. Wins the RSA imo.
|

By:
Had vowed not to get involved ante post this season after some horror no shows last festival but I have backed Wymott too.
|
|
By:
Hoping for a big performance tomorrow.

This is the Wymott fan club [:D]
|
|
By:
The good thing is unlike a few others he will def go 3m at the Festival.
|
|
By:
^^^ So will Rupert and give a right good hiding lads
 |
|
By:
Big fan of the horse, but at this stage I think MdH and Time for Rupert look like being exceptionally good horses. This fella is going to have to do alot to put himself in their category imo
|
|
By:
Rupert certainly a worry.

anyone of you think quickish ground may be his undoing? was entered at chelt on sat in the 3m novice chase won by time for rupert the only reason i can think of why they gone exeter instead wolud be the guickish ground at chelt saturday as why pass up the opportunity to get valuable chelt experience
|
|
By:
another one that should be running in the 4 miler...along with reve de sivola
 |
|
By:
He jumps great. Had to work hard for that today. But Exeter can be quite a test. It was not easy for Royal Charm earlier either.
|
|
By:
if that wins the rsa i,ll give up
|
|
By:
Looks a great staying prospect and will definitely win plenty races but he looks already like he will be suited by some give and maybe more than 3m. Not sure he quite has the class for an RSA of MdH, TFR and a few others though.
|
|
By:
Wymott and Wayward Prince are my 2 bets for the race. My only ante post bets for Chelt 2011. I know Time For Rupert has better form so far but Wymott has not been seriously tested yet.
|
|
By:
Saw Wymott at Bangor for his chase debut. Much more impressive there than at Exeter, so my jury is out on whether he will need cut and an even greater test of stamina than might be the case in the RSA.
Liked the look of Jessies Dream the other day, on ground that wouldn't have been ideal. All the hype about MD, JD could be one to creep under the radar a bit. But Time for Rupert looks a more than worthy favourite. |
|
By:
I honestly dont think Jessie's Dream would, all jumping well, have any chance of beating Mikael in the RSA. Mikael was going so within himself before he knuckled it was unreal cant remember seeing a horse gallop so effortlessly and within himself for a long time as MDH.
|
|
By:
Is he to classy to run in the 4m race ? He looks like he could gallop all day long.
Wasnt as impressive at Exeter as he was at Bangor 1st time up. |
|
By:
i thought the horse to take out of the exeter race was definity
|
|
By:
im with u alvarado. if this lad wins the rsa, il give up
|
|
By:
Thought he showed his inexperience a lot whereas Rupert has looked thoroughly professional from his initial fencing debut and looks a worthy and formidable favourite.
|
|
By:
I bottled making any early bets on this race because I couldn't split Wymott, TFR and Quel Esprit. I can't say I find splitting them much easier now, but this fellow has to be the pick of the prices. I'd just love to know for sure (like everyone else) exactly what Mullins' plan is for Mikael before I get involved. Come the start of March that could still be up in the air though!
|
|
By:
I agree that Wymott seemed to waver a bit on the run in at Exeter but that is a very tiring finish and the second was getting a stone and could be quite good. Wymott probably blew up a bit and Jason would have been trying to give him an easy race. It was the effortless way he went clear 3 out that impressed me.
|
|
By:
Looks like I spoke just too soon regarding Mikael. Apparently the Gold Cup is also an option. FFS. I'm fed up with talk of novices taking on the senior ranks.
|
|
By:
That is why I have backed Wymott, I think the RSA will be his target. If he is not good enough to run in the race he wouldn't win it anyway.
|
|
By:
agree sageform. 100% this is his target, he wasnt overly impressive the other day but he jumped well enough and I feel he will improve again.
|
|
By:
I backed him e/w for the RTSA at 25/1 before his race at Bangor and was impressed with that and his Exeter run, think he'll only improve here on in.
In McCains Stable Tour of Wymott he said :- I’ve never had an RSA Chase horse but if ever I’m going to have one this could be it  |
|
By:
So it turns out the form his last run wasnt all that bad in the end.
|
|
By:
 any1 know what happend to peveril? |
|
By:
RIP im afraid.
|
|
By:
 |
|
By:
It was such a shame about Pevril.... i did think that the Nick Williams horse was well in contention despite jumping badly...
Wymott is becoming more and more attractive by the day ...form of his wins have been rock solid |
|
By:
jumped really well imo, has to have a cracking chance
|
|
By:
Adams Island (3rd in the Exeter race) won on Wednesday at Doncaster and Silver Kate (in 4th) won at Chepstow on Welsh National day. That now means 2nd, 3rd and 4th behind Wymott have all come out of the race and won and add to that Tarablaze who was 3rd behind him at Bangor. With Peveril very sadly leaving us today, this will be Hemmings' RSA horse and everyone knows McCain's horses somehow still go overpriced. With Kauto failing today and Long Run still a questionable Cheltenham horse, maybe Time For Rupert's connections will consider the Gold Cup this year. At the current prices he is a very attractive bet.
|
|
By:
Even if TFR stays RSA this is still the e/w bet of the race.
Unlike most Novice Chasers this season he will def be going for the race and after his next run I think he may go clear 2nd fav. |
|
By:
His last hurdle race last season at Haydock, he beat Wayward Prince. Again the form stacks up. TFR worthy favourite, but at the prices Wymot's for me.
|
|
By:
Wymott getting weight from everything tomorrow, has to win this to be a realistic RSA contender?
|
|
By:
dont think it will tbh
