I think this beast is a very good price. 32 on here and 25/1 with the books.
As a backer last year, I thought he was running a decent enough race before unseating Townend at the Chair (and had jumped very well until that point), and he had been in the top 3 in the betting for a long time.
10lb's better off with the Midnight Club after their last run when there was very little betwween them, yet more than double the price. Another year older and wiser and got some experience of the race. Looks like he thrives on decent ground.
Suppose the only worry is whether or not Willie prefers Sandown. AP could still ride too?
Any thoughts?

Got out of bed early to get that price Hemsby
 Well done mate |
|
By:
Can't see AP getting off Don't Push It tbh, although AS isn't the worst shout at all
|
|
By:
Yeah I suppose sentiment will dictate he will probably ride DPI. Synchronized would probably be second pick too.
|
|
By:
Will Synchronised run ?
|
|
By:
Suppose the betting says no, but cant understand why it wouldnt run myself.

Am on Arbour @ 20s nrnb, e/w 5places.
|
|
By:
Considered that myself das, but greedily wanted the extra 5 points :)
|
|
By:
They pushed him out to 22/1 after I took the 20s
|
|
By:
if he wins i will top myself
check last years nh thread |
|
By:
I'm sticking with him this yr plat, no rope required here
 Been saying for 5yrs he was a future GN horse. |
|
By:
still hasnt won a valuable chase nor a graded chase but im sure ill save on him
|
|
By:
Exactly platt... if you fancied him last year, i think you have to back him this year. Didnt do much wrong (other than fall obviously!) and his prep behind The Midnight Club was better than anything previously imo.
A chnace to be proven right, albeit a year later  |
|
By:
Didn't jump well at all last season, though he jumped well lto, but need to watch the race again. 10lbs pull with his stablemate looks nice.
|
|
By:
I thought he jumped fine in the race, until he fell
 |
|
By:
Comes across as a horse that had a problem to me. And just maybe, they've sorted out whatever it was.
|
|
By:
In general last season he was poor CCM, did seem to enjoy the big fences until unseating alright.
|
|
By:
Has the profile of a GN winner but flatters to decive imo. Reminds me a bit of Snowy Morning with his eyecatching runs.
P.S I retain the right to change my opinion come raceday. Ta.  |

By:
i dont think that he fell last year ..........yer man fell off......i was on 100/1
 |
|
By:
He doesn't get the trip.
|
|
By:
Oh!............yer mean the jockey
|
|
By:
This horse that won over 29 & 30f doesn't stay iyo Ramruma?
|
|
By:
Yep, have to say the trip is the least of my worries.
|
|
By:
gave him a chance last year and he let me down doesnt look the biggest horse and i think is a cert to hit one and fall or unseat his rider hope he come back safe and sound
|
|
By:
Backed this horse last and am considering it again this year but a little bit concerned that it hasn't won now for 2 and a half years!
|
|
By:
Can't remember what price he was last year but do remember Mccoy saying "he should be that price to get round, he's by supreme leader, and supreme leader's don't jump well enough".
|
|
By:
Really? Dont recall that. Whats Up Boys was by Supreme Leader wasnt he? And he nearly won it. Obviously AO knows far more than me, but seems a funny comment to me.
|

* AP
|
|
By:
i dont think it makes to much difference if he is by supreme leader he could get round however on what we have seen on a racecourse you would have to be concerned that he would hit one. If you look back at the supreme leaders chasers other than whats up boys they have not been the best of jumpers.
|
|
By:
now young Townsend is out, i´d say D Casey gets that ride as he rides a good few for JP
|
|
By:
Backed him last year, on again this year...anyone worried he wont make the cut???
|
|
By:
Clear highest rated of those on 10-03 so should make it.
|
|
By:
"This horse that won over 29 & 30f doesn't stay" in AP's opinion imo, downallstar.
|
|
By:
I put it up on the blog at 70/1 on here. Bit weak on here still, but must have a big shout if lining up.
|
|
By:
He has not bagged a Class 1 or a Listed event in his career. I think he should have proved himself by now.
|
|
By:
Bit disconcerting that Ruby said he had a difficult choice, but mentioned TMC and 2 others, neither of which were AS!
|
|
By:
I'd have to agree there CCM. Perhaps he is a win bet rather than eachway.
|
|
By:
I backed him last year and was never confident at any stage of him getting around. He looks a bit too small for me.
