Thanks Kevloaf.. appreciate the welcome. In Tizzard I trust.

Would love to see Mister Malarky come here. Looks made for this test to me. Stamina in abundance and cant see it out of the frame.

Im hoping he's going Ultima route. Wouldn't you fancy the horse in behind him at the weekend (now Mcginty) as more of a stayer for this??

As Q points out, the top 3 in the betting would have a better profile for this race.

CT will be disappointed. In the post race interview he suggested he ran to 144, perhaps it was wishful thinking.!

Handicapper been cruel there.

Over rated the run because of the name of the race

[Cashew King]

Mr Whipped amongst those scratched today.

It looks to be a done deal at this stage that Patrick will ride him in the National Hunt Chase. He wasn’t entered for any of the other novice chases at Cheltenham, so Patrick must have been in charge of the entries that morning!

Been having a look at the more experienced horse for this. Anyone know if Ibis Du Rhea or Cubomania are intended runners? Neither would be “sexy” runners but both have plenty of chase experience

Ibis Du Rheu - Paul Nicholls hasn't committed to yet but has said it's an option, it is his only entry at the festival.

A previous festival winner BUT he looks well held as a staying chaser. I've looked at him a few times.


Cubomania I believe is one for a handicap according to Gordon Elliott on twitter a week or so back

So looking like...

Ok Corral - Derek O'Connor
Ballyward - Patrick Mullins
Champange Classic - Jamie Codd
Impulsive Star - Sam Waley-Cohen
Discorama - Barry O'Neill
Ibis Du Rheu - Will Biddick


Only really Lisa O'Neill to slot in? and Codd tocommit to something, but has to be CC?
