can someone enlighten me as to why N J henderson has not gave this horse an entry into the Jlt? im absolutely baffled, all best form over 2m4..go back to november cheltenham open meeting and he won the steel and plate novice chase by 10 lengths after also been hindered by hanging right near the finish. Next run, up in tripped fails to stay gets beaten by present man???? then back to 2m 4 wins cosily. would be a great ew bet for jlt imo.
so why why why only entered into the rsa??????

Taken from Henderson's blog... Will OO Seven run again or straight to the RSA? "He will go straight to wherever he goes at Cheltenham. I don't know if it will be the RSA, which must be quite an open race if Might Bite is close to the top of the market, and he might also be given an entry in a Handicap as well." - if he turns up in one of the handicaps & doesn't get burdened with too much weight then agree makes decent appeal...

O O Seven's handicap rating is 152, I struggle to see it winning of this mark so I would be 90% confident of it running in the RSA. Hendo always thought of him as a stayer which is why he didn't get a JLT entry (surprised he didn't get an entry!). 25/1 NRNB looks a good EW bet to me for the RSA in what looks a pretty average race

^^ He's not currently priced up for any handicap either from what I can see... unless I've missed something.

Can't see him winning an Open Hcp this competitive off 152 with 20+ runners when he struggled off 148 in a 6 runner Novice Hcp. However, Henderson has Might Bite & Whisper for the RSA so he might be forced into trying. He can only run in the Ultima or Brown Advisory as his rating is too high for the other Hcps. If backing you must use NRNB.

Henderson has said in his Stan James Blog that the RSA is the likely target for OO Seven although he will have entries in the Handicaps. He also said WHISPER is now being aimed at the JLT although he will speak with Davy Russell who will be riding.
