Originally posted by Al Ferof View PostI've no idea if he will be targeted at Cheltenham, but Squouateur has been given some 'educational' rides over fences to say the least. Never dangeorous in any of them and in most cases over an inadequate trip.
Anything near 3m on good ground I'd be backing him blind, but as I say he has to be aimed there first.
Rated 141 over hurdles last season and fav for the Martin Pipe, he is one to watch out for as he'll probably need to win a handicap in Ireland en route to Chelts in March.

I was thinking the 2.5 miles novice handicap on day 1 would probably suit, although the race is that compressed is hard to get in the race.
Festival Handicaps are something I have never ever looked at antepost but I am changing tact this year and keeping an eye out.
If you could educate me around any novice chase handicaps that would be much appreciated

As the race has become very popular in the few years it has been included, the handicap can become very compressed with only a few pounds covering the top and bottom weight. Therefore it is a tough race to plot a horse as you run the risk of either not being high enough to get in or exceed the ceiling. Last year only 4lb separated the field so it bordered on a level weights race. Irish horses have an even tougher time getting in as Phil Smith reserves the right to alter their Irish rating for racing in the U.K.

Been manic since these prices came out, managed to see the 33's on Cause of Causes but kept forgetting to back him. Gone to back him now and best priced 20's damn you all for taking the prices!!
He's fared me well in the last 2 years winning the 4 miler and the Kim Muir so i'll still be joining in at 20's - thought he'd be about 16-20s max anyway. Can't argue with the case made for him and echo it all completely. No chance for me he'll be seen in the Kim Muir as I can't see him dropping down to 145. He made a mockery of it last Spring - one of the easiest handicap winners i'll ever see at the festival I think. The good thing is he'll likely need another win to get him into the Aintree Grand National having missed out last year despite winning

This one looks interesting for Nichols if he,s keeping him back rated 135 over hurdles.Owned by done, Ferguson, fogg+mason
Chameron
Info: 3g Laveron - Chamanka Form: 11
Our latest purchase is a really exciting prospect, although being a big, strong individual I must stress he isn’t a Triumph Hurdle sort but a chaser of the future. He won the Listed Prix Finot at Auteuil on his debut – which has supplied us with some top-class horses. The form doesn’t always work out but Chameron came out and won again at Auteuil six weeks later so he looks a nice addition to the team.

Younevercall was impressive earlier in the season at Kempton in a pertemps qualifier and has been put away since off a handicap mark of 143. He has improved no end since going up in trip and I think 3 miles in the final will see him in an even better light.
Golden Doyen for the same race. Also put away since getting up in a slow run race at Cheltenham.
Ordinary World/Don't Touch It for the Grand Annual.
