Indeed, and he's actually had more experience of the horse already than most of the jockeys will get with their rides, having ridden for about half a circuit in an actual race. Hopefully he'll have picked up some tips on what the horse might do after the fall as well!

If he jumps and travels like he did yesterday, he will be mighty hard to beat in the 4 miler. Fingers crossed he goes there. As my original post suggests I backed Edwulf early when I thought it was possible Codd would ride. The way these amateurs switch back and forth, I don't think any jockey booking is sure until final decs. Would be very happy with O'Connor mind.

Apparently Elliot has said if the ground dries out, Codd will ride Tiger Roll.

If Tiger Roll is that good, how come Elliot only entered him in seven races at the Festival? (Conditionals, 4-miler, Kim Muir, Ultima, Plate, RSA and JLT.)

Maybe he is so good he is going to run in multiple races

Jamie Codd was one of the busier riders in action at Leopardstown's gallops and schooling morning on Monday, when his mounts included A Genie In Abottle, on whom he will bid for a second National Hunt Chase victory on Tuesday.
The Noel Meade-trained six-year-old is 11-2 favourite for the four-miler, and after schooling him Codd reported: "I'd never sat on him before, so it was good to get to know him with next week in mind. We popped a few fences and I let him stride on up the straight. I liked him." Codd, who has notched five festival winners, added: "I'm expecting to have four rides next week. In addition to A Genie In Abottle, I ride Cause Of Causes in the cross-country chase and On The Fringe in the Foxhunter, and I might be on one of Gordon [Elliott]'s in the Kim Muir." |

what a horrible price this genie horse is for this codd or not...it's similar to the acapella horse in the rsa just horrible
no doubt they'll both win but it really is rancid what odds people are prepared to take on these 2 horses |

Beware The Bear probably Hendersons only runner in the 4 Miler according to Henderson.

Glad to see EDWULF & ARBRE DE VIE taken out of the RSA. Think they have a very good chance in this. I've also backed Champers On Ice so hope he runs here as not NRNB.
If all 3 run I'm in with a chance? Hopefully they'll get good jocks. |

Delighted to see Edwulf out of the RSA. Come O'Connor, you know you want ride...

Rich Ricci confirmed Arbre De Vie for the 4 miler on #Racehour podcast.

He is a top (arguably the top) Irish point-to-point rider. https://twitter.com/bononeill1?lang=en |

Don't know who's riding ur steer but Barry o'Neill is top class

By:
mikey legg who's pretty decent but Mr B O'Neill seems to be the man so maybe saver on bigbadjohn although i think flintham will stay better

Well done to those who backed Tiger Roll. I couldn't see a Triumph hurdler winning a 4 mile chase but he looked in total control from halfway.

I thought Codd rode a poor race. He jumped off will and got a good position. However he allowed himself to drop back to the rear before being forced to change position and ride when the race got serious.
He should have stayed either tracking the pace or midfield |
