Before the market was suspended Sam Winner was trading a point shorter price than Le Bec. Ridiculous.

What do people make of Corrin wood for this? Having done the trends he's a standout and I've just gone and watched his last two chase races as unfortunately I hadn't been able to see him.
First things first, I don't think I've seen a better jumper of fences in the 3m sphere all season. He's bold and can gain a good stride of two at each fence, he's that good. Having said that I've been left with one or two niggling doubts. Firstly, he jumped quite right at warrick, more so than at catterick. That's fine in a 3 or 4 runner race but will it adversely impact his chances in a bigger field at chelt? Secondly, does he need if softish? Whilst he's definitely not a TDS who needs it so bad the other horses are wearing armbands, he did appear to ku eyes to have a slightly pronounced knee action. Finally, his he good enough and for that matter, are any of the English? Take one look at the RP ratings and an English horse is as good as home and hosed. I just went to look at the Timeform top 10 but couldn't find on their new website. He got stuffed on a number of occasions over hurdles by ok horses but no world beaters. I know in the past not being a good hurdler hasn't been an issue but feel that has changed a bit recently. I'm a little confused about this beast and any other thoughts would be appreciated |

@Tory re Corrin Wood -- another worry is that he was entered for the 4-miler which might be taken to mean he has a touch of the slows.

And i'm not sure Grade 1 chasers is really Donald McCain's bag. I don't recall any in recent years anyway. But CW has looked good so far, what puts me off is his style of running. He has to lead.

Never been tested at Graded level....last 11 of this all won or placed in a graded chase. Apart from that a good profile. Leading is a good thing in an RSA. You want to be prominent, unlike in an Arkle
|
|
By:
yes, but he has to be leading, and he goes a good gallop. Will have to have some engine to sustain it all the way.

What are your picks for this race Ballydoyle and Sintonian?
|
|
By:
I've placed ante posts on :
Ballycasey 10-1 Morning Assembly 16-1 Shutthefrontdoor 25-1 And to be honest, not confident about any of them. The last one won't show as they have Carlingford Lough who I might just go in for as he has taken care of Morning Assembly already, who was 7 lengths ahead of Ballycasey in a 3m hurdle. |

Have had some nice early calls on the RSA in the past - Denman at 7s, Bob's Worth at 10s, Boston Bob last year :(
But this year I just don't get it. I keep looking at the race waiting for some clarity to come to me like a magic eye picture, but this year it is just staying fuzzy. |

Same.

Roger, I backed Just A Par originally at 25/1 to Win. He now won't run. My main bets now are Many Clouds and Le Bec, 25/1 & 20/1, both eachway. Also had a saving stake on Wonderful Charm some time ago as he is clearly PFN's best novice chaser. I need one of the above two to place to break even, bit of profit if it is Many Clouds as he is my main bet at bigger odds.

Not impressed with any of the Irish horses thus far, would go with Morning assembly of the lot but he has no prep which this race has never been Won before without one.
|

By:
Thanks for pointing out the graded chase thing Bally. I do know that for some bizarre reason thought his last was a grade 2!! Will redo the stats
|
|
By:
I think blinkers have made Annacotty, will he go here or the handicap chase, lto at Chelt he unwisely got into a right duel early on and still stayed there until the end..
