If Tiger turns up he wins, there is no decent opponent to worry him based on the current market.
Can anyone explain why horses from the Foxhunters never enter this race? I don’t understand the criteria of a Hunter Chaser except having a hunting certificate and finishing in the places of a few hunter chase races. Why wouldn’t Hazel Hill or Road to Rome have a crack at this cross country race? they would probably be more competitive than most of the current opponents to Tiger Roll? Is it based on ratings? Josies Orders is rated 130 and Tiger Roll 159 whilst Hazel Hill is rated 147. I appreciate the layout of the fences is different but why wouldn’t a hunter chaser have a pop at the Cross Country or vice versa?? Forgive my stupidity but the amateur riders aside surely the Cross Country Race is easier to win with a decent horse than the chaos of the Foxhunters? Plus it’s better price money in the Cross Country race
Very, very interesting entry in XCC on Friday. Vyta Du Roc now with Gordon. Still same ownership as far as I can see. Gordon gave COC and Tiger a cheeky introduction to the XCC at Cheltenham, both tailed off. The following March both won the big one at the Fez having been suitably backed before the race. Could he be at it again ??? Taken the 33's just in case.

Was only 7th last year when with Hendo.
You might be right, but Yanworth with Bolger training might be bigger risk to the mighty one in March....if he takes to it
When COC won the strong fav all year was JP's other horse Cantlow. COC was smashed into 4's from all odds and won as he liked. The following year COC was the strong fav all year but his stablemate Tiger was smashed in from big odds and won as he liked. Just have a feeling VDR may spoil the Tiger party.
Tea for Two was just starting to creep into the race last season when unseating about a mile out, Jumped OK in the main up to that point.
For those with a 365 account it may be worth a small play at 33/1 before Friday as any half decent showing will likely see his price plunge...
