I'm hoping this horse goes for one of the handicaps as looks laid out but in an interview with his owner he stated...

Duffy said: "Reve De Sivola is entered in the National Hunt Chase and the Jewson so we are hopeful. The National Hunt Chase is the favoured option at the moment."

Is this the 4miler ?? as he's not in the betting or is the owner referring to the old WillHill chase now known as the Spinal Research Handicap Chase.
Or do I need a slapping for being confused lol

3 mile handicap chase on Tuesday before the Champion Hurdle whatever they now call it. Not sure if he jumps well enough but could be a similar type to Wichita Lineman and that would be ironic if Darryl Jacob rides as I'm sure he will.

williams couple weeks ago - "He doesn't go for the RSA, he goes for the three mile handicap chase that used to be the William Hill Trophy," he said.

"I think he's a stayer more than a middle distance horse and I think three miles will suit him better. His run against Wishfull Thinking is very encouraging."

At a London previe night this week most of the panel made a big case for it if it ran in the Jewson and were urging a NRNB bet, which makes sense.

Really, considering that it has excellent cheltenham form and has NEVER run further than 2m 5f it would be nuts to run him in a 3m race. Why on earth try it now, at the festival?...

Nick Williams has not at all covered himself in glory with Diamond Harry - according to himself "mismanaged" (Exeter preview). To balls up this too with an untried distance would have me seriously considering his judgement for the big races and meetings.

not into breeding eddie? the horse needs 3 miles plus, theres no 2 ways about it
Report bigben • March 5, 2011 10:41 PM GMT
If the Step up to three miles helps his jumping, then he could be very well handicapped imo.
Report booster • March 6, 2011 8:18 AM GMT
I think that's just what he needs. If he's there 2 out, there won't be anything with a better engine. Does need to jump better early on though.

We'll see and you could be right, think not to try it before is an error...bon chance!
Report revedesivola • March 6, 2011 10:51 AM GMT
he seems to get outpaced at 2m 5 i think. the only thing that bothers me is his jumping
