allaho rsa chase

Big fan of the horse. Have been taking 20s the last few weeks. Hopefully they will run him in the flogas at the Dublin racing festival next. Travels so well through his races.

Yes he's interesting, if he runs in the RSA I'd like to see him make it a real stern test, he has been caught out before staying on well again, firstly at Punchestown and then last time. Incidentally, just how strong does this years RSA look, it has got a whole heap of depth to it, looks the best Novice chase by a good way.

yeah duffy its looking a hot un again this year lets hope for a big field .

I like this one and have had a few quid ew.

good luck chelters

I was at Navan today, M. Idaho was very impressive and will be my bet for RSA .

worky you mean minella indo?

Yes Foyle.

I think there could be a case (like last year ) for backing both , they have very similar profiles and MI looked a natural at Navan . But Allaho is a year younger and could (at 3x the price ) be value to find plenty of improvement .

won as the odds said he should ,happy with that could go jlt and have covered that to a smaller extent .

It’s style of running gives the impression that it will stay all day, and yet always seems very tired at the end!
Has it ever been taken on for the lead? I’d imagine it will in March.

Came from off the pace in the potato race last year , and was also given an entry in the 4 miler (which probably means nothing ) . Mullins comments seem to imply its a horse thats hard to get fit ,

RSA or JLT ??

wpms said after yesterdays win "he will take up an engagement at cheltenham  we will see ,wether its the rsa or marsh ,ill have a word with paul and see what he says " i would think he goes straight to cheltenham unless paul thinks he needs another day out " a coin toss id say bud thats why i have also had a bit on for the marsh .

Looks like JLT if you believe the price movements on here .

the more so today

This won’t stay the trip in the RSA.
My notes say horses of similar pedigree also are mainly 2 milers!
No wonder it’s looked knackered in a few races!

I know it was 3rd in an Albert Bartlett last year, but I’ve watched the race back and Ruby was at his best, hardly moving a muscle, conserving as much of the horses energy as possible.
Townend is no Ruby!
The Albert Bartlett has been known to finish a horse off in the past due to the relentless gallop they go so I’d be against Minella Indo aswell!

prob  for the jlt rather than the rsa

Good

willie says RSA today. Though he has time to change his mind 12 times before the race

the jlt it is then!

Pleasantly surprised at that,will help my Marsh bets.
Please don't change your mind Willie

yes i am happy with that and would be delighted if it was any other trainer saying that ,but its willie and he changes his mind more times than we change our socks .

struggling to figure anything out in these yo yo markets. this horse in particular is very hard to figure out which race he runs in

I just noticed on one of the atr blogs saying this horses final sectional time at Fairyhouse was very impressive.
Glad I’ve not laid it, but still won’t be backing it.

As much as I think he is better off running in the marsh I think you'll get a run for your money here foyleswar luckily for you he also has 2 valid runners in the marsh although I think easy game will probably end up at fairyhouse we will see but I'd make him odds on to run in the rsa. Good shout pal whichever way he goes

yes harry possible he will go rsa i would have said probable but willie has been known to change his mind on the odd occasion ,anyway a bit of a mission just trying to predict what races  these novices will end up in let alone trying to pick the  actual winner  . just part of the game i suppose .  have a good  and profitable festival guys

totally agree with that which makes betting on the races very hard. if the betting is anything to go by i think you'll get your bet running in the rsa. like you say though trying to predict willie mullins is not easy

Have same bet as you Foyles , grounds for optimism are that he is a year younger than Minella Indo , travelled widest of all in the Bartlett and had to do a bit of weaving turning in , albeit well beaten . Plus Ruby has been very RSA positive . That said if Champ jumps cleanly ..........

if minella indo runs like last year will take some beating,looked to be tanking through the race and you would have been confident it wouldnt get home but seemed to storm up the hill in decent time,going to take a good one to beat him if in same form as last year unless lack of chase experience tells

Alaho still in this

Runs in RSA according to article on Racing Post website

Forty

That faugheen v easy game is the formguide for me
Easy game had a bit left imho
That form far and away the best ive seen
Amongst the novices
Would worry about battleoverdoyen tbh

Would or wouldn’t irishone?

Would

I’ve been really disappointed with him this season

Will he be out in John durkan this week?

hope so harry good to see the decent uns out , ryanaire dist looks like it could suit !

Be nice to see the horse foyles no doubt be pulled out for another owners horse but looks a race for him and will answer a few questions as well

Normal insider trading...looks like Betfair sportsbook already know he’s a non runner Sunday

In the John durkan

Well he runs Sunday so they didn’t know be good to see him

I will add... at last a really good John durkan memorial chase. A field the race deserves

wow what a race in prospect if all line up in the john durkan ...allaho ,min,battleoverdoyen,samcro,chris dream,le richebourg ,tornado flyer,melon.

Looking forward to see how Le Richebourg shapes, hoping he will develop into a Champion Chase prospect.

Tomorrow I think that Battleoverdoyen is being dismissed in the market, he was mightily impressive first time up, he put that race to bed quickly before they turned in and then idled on the way to the last before sticking on again.

He's not the sexy horse though is he, I'm a Samcro fan but why is he shorter than him after getting comfortably beat by him last time. I can't have Chris's Dream at his price at this trip in this class.

Battleoverdoyen has been too bad to be true at the festival twice but it could be, that that track and time of year is just not his cup of tea but the market is taking those runs into consideration.

I think he should be 2nd fav.

difficult race to fathom and still not made my mind up ,might even just watch!

Well no matter how you cut it that was bitterly disappointing from allaho not that we could see anything but he was tailed so now with big questions to answer moving forwards

Did anyone hear what actually happened to Allaho. I heard he hit a fence, but to get tailed off so badly suggests there was more to it than that

jockey said he hit a couple of fences , seasonal debut not gonna thrash him and beaten on last 2 seasonal debuts ,must admit not ideal though

I agree it is too early to write him off just yet
