Is a novice jumping out left something that can be worked on or is it bad habit that never really goes away in a horse? Asterion Forlonge does have a great engine but not sure if he has enough gas to compete at the main chase races, he may improve though??

I think that's right. He could well end up being the most talented of Willie's that go chasing this season, but may end up being confined to Aintree and Punchestown for the end of season Festivals. Let's face it he did all the hard work in the Supreme, and his jumping cost him lengths. If he'd jumped straight how close would he have been to Shishkin and Abracadabras?
There's definitely some money to be made from him, and if Willie can apply some gear that gets him jumping straight he'd be the forgotten horse He's one of those horses that'll have me hovering over the button in his first race this season.Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.

TWAR negates the specific race concerns though.Last edited by ComplyOrDie; 31 July 2020, 10:12 AM.

Same thoughts apply to Risk Factor also. So as much as the race is over 2 miles, I wouldn't necessarily expect either or to rock up over 2m at the festival, should they even make it of course.
