11kv in general he would be the worst of the riders involved in the finish anyhow. Today I'd put it down to the way the trainer wants it ridden. If the jockey hadve been given carte blanche Im sure he would have made more use of the horse in a relatively slowly run race. I've no idea what the point of the Ill Est Francais tactics were either.
Simple fact is that Nico is weak in a finish and clueless tactically. Cobden or Bowen wins on Jango. Fact!
Not a fact,cretin.Merely your obsessive nonsense,Newmarket
Jango’s Achilles heel is his flat-jumping. Thought Nico did a characteristically good job of nursing the horse through the first mile after the horse’s early crunching error but another couple of minor errors proved costly. His jumping would need to improve to be considered for a Gold Cup.
Paul Townend less than brilliant in the final dash. Did the whip fumble cost him.
Banbridge gave supporters a great run but lacked resolution in the finish?!
The winner jumped sweetly, stayed well and most certainly can be considered for the Gold Cup. Imo.
Unlucky all losers in a smashing race.

A good race but I do not expect the form to hold up as the French horse got away with setting steady fractions which resulted in a sprint
Yes, true, but what a spectacle. All sorts of speculation and opinion to keep us going until March and still to see how the Irish preps. go!
Nothing to do with trying to concede 20lbs to the winner then?
1.06 is crazy
Harry had much more horse left under him but ir players got caught out by him steadying at the hurdles on his jumping debut. Not sure Nico did anything wrong there, better horse at the weights won

The latest of Aceform's ridiculous sayings.
Replacing Wild Hogs,yawn and FFs.

Nonsense, slowed right down at the last and gave his advantage away. Swap the jockey's different result.
However, I'm happy for Nicholls

How many times have you seen Nico beat Cobden in this scenario? ZERO! .... Stop making excuses for him. This is what happens when a 4th rate jockey who can't pace a race, has no tactical nous and is weak in riding a finish goes up against a Top 5 elite jockey.
He is Henderson's mate so it doesn't matter what he does.

As you would struggle to read Janet & John your remarks are irrelevant,Aceform and show why you are a potless,know nothing mug

You utter,obsessive moron

Cobden crouched low and pushing his horse along.
dB perched upright and bouncing, pushing his horse downwards...
Just saying...

naturally,the critics all Layed Nico for chunks then
You are an utter irrelevance,Aceform.
Newmarkets is a clueless moron who hovers over his keyboard waiting for any race that Nico doesn't win.
Naturally,neither of the cretinous pair have ever posted a Lay to back up their opinions

Even if you are deluded enough to think that Nico belongs in the elite rank of jockeys. Can anyone name any elite jockey who has had a major stable no.1 job that Nico is superior to. Lets say in the last 15 years so everyone can play along......
Post any of your Lays of Nico,Newmarket,it's simple enough

mostly wfa uti...3yos normally badly in against their elders too (judged by NH hcaps)
I am aware of that Wonders but it was a useful performance by the winner
FWIW,Hendo stated beforehand that it wouldn't be easy to give the weight away
for all I agree with the nico is finished argument & cobden is defo better on the figs, this race was more the 2nd horse running well
nico done little wrong imo likely 2 smart horses

Beats off the Cobden drive on the well supported Captain Bellamy

An adequate ride.

He has won a handicap chase when the first and second favourites both pulled up. Put him in the hall of fame! LOL
elisie - this scenario meaning Cobden is on a 1/3 shot and clearly on the best horse. Not a donkey derby handicap.
Thought he beat a one which was given a poor ride from Cobden there.
prices make little difference, you post about his riding ability, personally i couldn't care about the argument my view is if the horse is capable there's little between most riders
prices are everything because we're (I'm) talking about jockeys making a difference at the margin
my view is if the horse is capable there's little between most riders
agree on the general principle...perhaps 7lb from best to worst
but even 1lb here & there its surprising how many races that will swing in a year
more than you would think

Continuing into 2026….. not good viewing there imv
Going best turning into the straight.... Now it's time for Nico to work his magic. Getting the horse out of stride going into the last combined with his trademark powderpuff finish and we have 3rd place!
Surely 2026 is when he loses his no.1 role at Hendersons.

Are you pair of cretins actually suggesting that the horse should have won?
The horse never lifted a leg but Nico is up and walking
That is good news. He should retire before he hurts himself.
I wish no rider harm including this one,but he is better suited to the point to point field tbh…..
Little wonder you cannot win.
You pair of morons should be Sectioned

Nothing wrong this end tbh,do you know the rider personally ? You seem to get stirred upstairs when he gets a clipping…..
I object to know nothing cretins like you talking out of you chuffer,Aceform.

He's convalescing after that tumble. Will he still be paid for any remaining ride he's down for?
Only Implausible would think to ask that puerile question
UP THE IRONS As I have said before there are a few bloody idiots on here, watch them come out of joke,,
100% Nico would've found a way to lose on that. Last 4 races under the posh amateur F499. Now for Constitution Hill!
I see.
Now the cretin Newmarket wants to criticise what Nico might have done.
Your ludicrous obsession has gone beyond laughable

Hopefully he’ll sit tight in the 13.20……should win comfortably.
Could be wright form,but not jockey,stable seems to have hit a good spell and fav Salver could be a lay

A Rag of a horse.
Never backing it again. Let me down so many times.
I wonder who schooled it impeccably at home ? Probably a top work rider…..

According to the trainer the horse schooled impeccably at home and will love the ground…
The point to point rider looked dreadful tbh…..

Having dealt with many Trainers over the years I have yet to hear one say that the horse jumped like a yak.
Your ludicrous remarks about the jockey merely confirm that you are an imbecile,Aceform

I can just imagine you at a racecourse sneaking behind a trainer “ do you think it will win sir ? “

Quixall are you competing for Impossible's title? LOL
As an armchair punter I have little opinion apart from what I see.....but I am still concerned if that is Nicos full blown drive in a finish.
Fantastic ride......but...
Just my opinion.

Just a judge of someone’s riding ability…..
There are some very good horsemen out there who ride with style….this person ain’t one unfortunately….

It certainly is not a style an aspiring jockey would imitate Horatio but is and always has been effective

I must say I thought he would be beaten after the last....he is very possibly stronger than my eye allows me to see.
