Can we get a discussion going on this race which may be one of a few where ante post value remains. If you have a fancy or some knowledge of running plans please stick them in here.
I was looking at the market and there are two that stand out to my eye: Chaptoturgeon (10/1 best price) & Barber's Shop (best 20/1)
The former won at the Festival and Barbers Shop was second in the Paddy Power to Imperial Commander no less. Both classy sorts imo. I see Backstage is a fairly short priced favourite but he is not a horse I have ever liked and I would be against him at a single figure price
I would say that was a pretty weak race today and one unlikely to throw up the winner - OTF could maybe improve past Salsify but could be some good quality handicappers against them this year

I'm annoyed that I missed the 16s on Salsify, I still think the 12s is decent value though. Chapoturgeon is entered in a Hunter Chase at both Fakenham and Sandown on Saturday so it should be fine, and Barber's Shop is in about five this week so we'll see how he looks. Silverburn is entered in quite a few this week as well, I hope he can get a win for his big bro.

shando.....have to agree. Something is niggling at me with Cloudy Lane,,,he will stay, no doubt about that, but I can just see him not maintaining a position on second circuit and then staying past a few for 5/4th place

BJG - good stat that. Everyone looks to the best form an ex chaser has shown and doesn't allow for enough reduction since joining the hunters ranks - I love a young hunter with a career in front of him as opposed to an ex classy 10/11/12 year old chaser.

The stat could correctly be expressed as 4 of last 7 years won by traditional hunters which is rather less impressive.
However, horses aged under 10 still have aa cracking record (19/21).

Stron - strange how I knew that stat but still backed Juveignor a couple of years ago. Classic case of heart ruling head, something that 25 years of festival punting on I still haven't mastered !

I amde it a schoolboy error then and I still make it one now, but thanks for making me feel better. Fact is, stats/trends are an accumilation of what's gone before, and there's a reason some stats/trends keep re-occuring when the conditions of any race do not alter - 5yo in champion hurdles, novices in champion races etc, there's a reason these things very rarely happen....

Horse, I think that's essentially right. However, one needs to be careful. For example, Gold Cup (winning) horses are not trained and campaigned now in the same way they were 20 years ago. That has indoubtedly affected the race and weakened stats from 10-20 years ago. I think the same is starting to be true with the Foxhunters - it's now been targeted by top yards with some decent horses in a way that hasn't been done in the past when it's been left to hunters/PtP horses. If so, stats on things like background, and perhaps age, will change in the next few years.
The view I try to take with stats is that if the stat makes sense rationally it's probably OK. However, somebody posted a stats analysis of a Grade 1 race the other day where they'd discounted a horse because it is top rated. That sort of think strikes me as the wrong way to go.

Yes for sure, and of course every now and then you get the exception such as Master Minded who without doubt was the best 5yo chaser in history, these events must be taken as 'one-offs' and they merely distort the stat/trend. I take your point re changing priorities of top yards and the fact this race may well be targeted in a way it wasn't before, but I'm still reluctant to back a horse that has been through the handicap sphere and is on the downgrade before tackling this race, an unexposed improver (therefore from traditional hunting background) will always get my interest.

I disagree actually. As much as I am interested in rising stars (I back On the Fringe last year - mainly because of lack of horses with decent form under rules - and Kingscliff when he won) I also look specifically for a decent handicapper who isn't too long in the tooth. Chapoturgeon and Gwanako were the too I pulled out this year.
Thanks for your hard work on the qualifiers BJG - I asked BF to put Gwanako in the list as I thought second in a PTP was good enough. Was kicking myself as he won easily today (despite backing him at 2/1) as I only had a tenner on at 40s until I reread it. Main reason I limited stakes was that I wasn't sure why he was allowed to be that price and nothing else there to back him. Now I know

I think Munkerty Tunkerty has an outstanding chance....has the running style which has proven effective in theis race, jumps well, stays and is improving with each run. Besides that I know the sister of the trainer and they are really excited about the chance they feel they have.

My Flora warmed up for a tilt at the Christie’s Foxhunter Chase with an impressive performance in the Mens Open at Chaddesley Corbett on Sunday, beating the useful Findlay’s Find by a cosy five length margin.
The mare was heavily eased all the way down the home straight by Tom David and in truth, the winning margin could easily have been a distance.
Trainer Sheila Crow was content with the eight-year-old’s final outing before the Festival: “She had to win impressively today [to prove she was ready for Cheltenham]. She did it nicely, in her own way.”
In her previous outing at Newbury, My Flora was prominent throughout and eventually fell two out when beaten. Different tactics were employed on Sunday however, being held up early and gradually picking off the field in the final circuit before asserting herself on the race four from home. The runner-up, Findlay’s Find, a prolific winner of nine Points last term, was simply no match for Crow’s charge who totally outclassed her nearest rival, forbidden to use his turn of foot.
My Flora had won over course and distance in December and the trainer was certain that she made the right decision in taking her back to the Worcestershire circuit: “She wouldn’t have liked Haydock yesterday. Today we thought they (Finday’s Find) would make it steady and then go on but people don’t realise how much foot she’s got.”
When asked what was the ideal trip for the Foxhunter hopeful, Crow replied: “If she settles, I don’t think she minds [the race distance]. She’s quick enough to win over 2m4f. She’s just at her best when she relaxes. I ride her all the time and you just need to give her a squeeze and she zooms.”

With you all the way... Barbers shop shytes up IF it gets there in one piece, If the jock holds his nerve and IF Chemical Nickie rembers to stop the pills in time
LOT of "IFs"... BUT any thing that can run in a Gold Cup/Hennesey and get within a furlong of Denman shld be good enough!
When did we last have a gold cup calibre hores running in the foxhunters, or put it another way, one that cld genuinely make the first four in a gold cup that year?
I'm old enough to remember Double Silk (SUPER STAR hunter who was cruising second circuit of the national when brought down and broke ribs) - he was 150-ish BHR... still a good 7lbs or more behind Barbers Shop at his best

Already placed in two Gold Cups, I thought Harbour Pilot would be a shoo-in when dropping down to the Foxhunter. Nina did well to stay in the saddle but horse was never going to win. Cost me!

Thanks for the posting on My Flora, its good to know he has qualified, and is in good form.
I listened to Timeform radio the other day. They had two specialists on point to point racing discussing the race.
It was an interesting listen for 20 minutes!
But when asked who they thought would win, they had both already backed My Flora!!
I also liked the sound of Bradley as an outsider. he won the other day, and is my other pick at a big price.
Will be doing a reverse exacta, so think of me if it comes off!!

When Kingscliff returned to the Foxhunter, he was 12 and had gone. Harbour Pilot made a shocking mistake and was also 11 at the time with plenty of miles on the clock. I don't think these examples should be used to state that Gold Cup class horses can't win the Foxhunter. Baby Run was a 130-odd rated chaser and hasn't been all that far away from picking up the last 3.
I think Baby Run has inspired a few people to take decent horses that would otherwise be up against it in handicaps hunter chasing - in practice even winning the Foxhunter might not affect the handicap mark significantly so why not let them enjoy themselves and grab a bit if prize money
I am very interested to see how horses like Chapoturgeon, and Barbers Shop/Gwanako (if they qualify) perform. This is exactly the profile of horse I was looking for this race and I will focus on in future.

She was beaten at Newbury, but they felt she didnt like being ridden prominently.
They have changed the tactics since and goes there with a good chance imo

Certainly hard to muster much else from the PTP ranks - maybe she will be better for the extra stamina test and the winner will be inconvenienced by it but she is only a few points bigger and I expect time to show that race to be the first time she took on decent NH horses

I respect your opinion Demps, you know your stuff:)
I feel the fact she is only 12.5 means the shrewd point to point boys (of which I am not one!) are backing her.
There are plenty of horses that turn over form at Cheltenham, I'm hoping My Flora is one of them!
I'm looking forward for Bradley too. This one has a decent chance too

I asked SWC a few weeks ago and he said the plan was for RC to go straight to Chelt for the Foxhunters!

I recall reading a quote from the Queen's NH racing manager saying that he'll run if he can get qualified and he'll probably be her only runner at the Festival. In last Saturday's RP I think.

horse9 Big rumours today that Backstage may not qualify, owing to a win under rules back in 2009 with a pen value of £30k...
The above is correct - Backstage is not eligible to run in any British Hunter Chase in 2012, including Cheltenham.

I would hope that bookmakers refund all bets on the 'you can't win, you can't lose' basis, as this horse NEVER had a chance of winning the 2012 renewal.

To be fair to the trainer has he ever said the FH is the plan? I think he might have known tbh - it's the bookmakers that should be embarrassed, making a horse fav who could never even enter let alone win. They spend most of the winter listing horses for the Centenary that are rated outside the band too. Clueless or something more sinister?

"This time 12 months ago the Grand National was Plan A for him, but this season the Foxhunter Chase at Cheltenham is his Derby."
"If he can run up to that sort of rating at the Festival, then he should be competitive."

Didn't see too much wrong with it myself - main thing for those on AP is to get him qualified and he has achieved that no problem
I thought he jumped very nicely and ideled abot and who knows what the 2nd is - beat The Midnight Club at levels in a PTP when TMC was a year older - Merry Vic hasnt runs since and TMC was arguably unlucky not to win the National last year. If he beat TMC today I think Barbers would now be a short priced favourite
I am very surprised to see him available at 16s

gotta be honest beating merry vic whos been off for an age and would be a 1000/1 in the foxhunter itself gives barber shop a ton to find just to finish in the right half of the field.if today is as good as he is then he has NO CHANCE.. maybe he had an off day but somehoei doubt that as he wasnt very impressive when he won last btime.

I hope you're right Demps as I have a few quid on BS. I just worry about whether he'll stay the trip in a strongly run race at the Festival. That said, it's good to see him back in the winner's enclosure - I've always had a soft spot for the horse.

stayed well enough to be 4th in a Hennessey off 156 - race won by a certain Denman. If he can get within a stone of that form he will gag up. That's the problem though - can he run anywhere near that level these days?

jud , you have to accept that yestrdays moderate win and his previous win prove emphatically that he CANNOT run to anything like those heady days, if you ignore what he USED to be able to do and price him up for the foxhunters on thesew two hunterr wins(recent form is all that matter really) then hes a 100/1 chance . on what weve seen he cant win a decent mens open.

Thought Herons Well was travelling well in this last year when unseating and particularly unlucky to be brought down in the Aintree Foxhunters. Plan has been to return for another tilt at this, though abandoned meetings have put paid to a seasonal reappearance a couple of times already (including tomorrow). Could be of interest for me at decent prices.
Surprised this was only endorsed by the post immediately following (albeit I scanned the thread fairly quickly).

Yep, I saw that mate though have n't watched the race. Have watched last year's Foxhunters a couple of times though and still really struck by how nicely HW was going.

Of course I could be just chasing last year's losses

This race is a joke. The jockeys are hopeless and all of the horses are old plodders. Anyone thinking about a wager in this race is a total headcase. And whoever started the thread must be seriously lacking in the brains department.
