Betvictor Hcap Chase- Cheltenham Saturday

He is 5lb better off with Astracad for the run last December. He won first time up last year. Needs to improve his jumping for me, fallen twice, though it's his second season so he should be better.

He has a hurdle entry also ??

Keighley, who trains at Condicote in Gloucestershire, said: "We plan to run Havingotascoobydo in the BetVictor.com Trophy.

"He suffered a serious spinal injury last season which is why he missed the Cheltenham Festival but he has come back really good. He schooled nicely this morning and is in really good form.

"He had a long summer off but he was sore while out in the field and did a lot of flat work and dressage.

"Where he got the injury it was obviously very painful and he lost all that muscle on his back, so we put in a hell of a lot of work into building that muscle back and it would be a great achievement to get him back to the track, never mind win. It would be a fairytale story if he could come back to the track and win a big race.

"It was gutting to miss The Festival as he was one of the favourites for the Pulteney Land Investments Novices' Handicap Chase but the BetVictor.com Trophy looks like a nice starting point for him this season.

"If he puts in a good show there he will go to the Paddy Power Gold Cup (Cheltenham, November 17) after that and hopefully he will be able to creep in off a nice weight.

"I hope there is still improvement to come from him. I know it was a bad injury but he is still a young horse and hopefully improving and going the right way - it would be great to pick up a nice prize with him this season.

"He seems to go on any ground and maybe good ground would be absolutely ideal."

That would put me right off tbh. He was never that great at jumping fences last season now he needs to prove he is over a serious back injury. No thanks.

what u like sint

Nothing yet, just going through them one by one. You?

Quite a tight affair innit ! Jamsie Hall must be of interest after his excellent Kerry National run, he's got alot of experience compared to most of these, notably Ixora(likes it here) and Easter Meteor(surely got more to come). Triangular is classy and experienced and can be competive off 139, while Tiger o Toole always seems to miss one out and prefers a flat track imo. Tartak is a horse on my radar, will be waiting till he's a bit lower tho (140 ish) !

In short Jamsie Hall to nail Triangular at the last

Royale's Charter off a feather weight the value for me. Wont be backing until a confirmed runner however. Of the others Kauto Relko could go close as had a great chance of winning last time at Market Rasen only for Paddy Brennan to jump off at the last and pull the horse down with him (5lb rise since however)and ive had my eye on Gilbarry for a while now. Jonjo got his rating down by a ton in the last 18 months but like a lot of his you never know until the day if they have decided to pull off the handbrake!

Divers is on a good mark but very unlikely Ferdy will ruin its mark before the Paddy Power.

Great to have the jumps back!!!!

I think one is being overlooked here, REBEL DU MAQUIS shouldn't and won't be 12/1 if he runs. I'll be awaiting finals before plunging though, at which time price may be gone. He has a sh1tload of class and was actually dropped for his first blow in 200+ days at Market Rasen. Nailed on if he runs IMVHO.

not got into it yet...2moro !!

Does anyone no of any runners that won't take part. I fancy one but need a nice few out to get in

Been lookin, impossible to know till decs tomorro - like Kauto Relko myself

^^

REBEL DU MAQUIS - Either a leg fell off and then was sewn back on again or the market does not know what to make of this one.

I still think there's value there big time.

I've also played Nadiya in a double with Cityscape though. I got 12's about Nadiya.

Bloody interesting race this.

Bobowen, ridden by Geraghty looks a consistent type and might make the frame.

Very difficult had a small bet on Nadiya De La Vega. Good Luck all
