Originally posted by Can't Catch Me View PostCompletely agree with that, but it’s early days for him and he was a Grade One winner over hurdles so you’d think they would be aiming slightly higher then a handicap at this stage?
Another nudge towards the RSa for IO then.,.. too many options in the JLT

Yeah was hoping he’d make up into a JLT horse for exactly that reason!!
"I thought he might be one of our two-milers this year but, looking at that, he needs further," said Mullins.
"I was hoping he'd be a Grade One horse (over fences) but looking at that it will be quite a climb."
You might be on to something though...

16/1 for Saturnas in the Close Brothers Novices' Handicap Chase.
Paddy Power have introduced him at 10/1 (I haven't requested that)

Not particularly for this race. But keep an eye out for Gordon's entries on trials day. He entered the storyteller up last year for a handicap to check his mark for the martin pipe.https://scooby91horseracingtips.com/

I think we can safely assume that Ballyandy doesn't go for this unless of course he runs a shocker tomorrow.
I shouldn't think they will want Coo Star Sivola to bolt up either. A decent run just going up a couple pounds would be ideal.Last edited by kinloch brae; 26 January 2018, 01:03 PM.

Mount mews would be interesting here. Ran very well had plenty left when he diddnt jump the last too well. Would have been a handy winner but for that.https://scooby91horseracingtips.com/

another jp possible ( via the donn)
Hell’s Kitchen
Hell’s Kitchen put up a really impressive performance to win the 2m 4f novices’ handicap chase. He settled well in front for Barry Geraghty and, even though Mister Whitaker closed on him over the last two fences, he found plenty on the run-in, going on to win by a length and a half, with the pair of them clear. The time was good too, marginally faster than Racing Post par.
JP McManus’ horse has always been a horse with lots of potential, and this was a really encouraging performance. Winner of just one of his three races over hurdles, he is built for fences. This was just his fourth run over the larger obstacles and just his third completion, and it was a career-best. He is learning to settle better as he is gaining in experience, and he should continue to progress as continues to learn to settle. The handicapper raised him by 7lb to a mark of 144, but he has the potential to go beyond that mark now over fences.

Quite possibly, but hes deffinately over rated as a horse in general. His last standout performance off level weights was in his bumper days.https://scooby91horseracingtips.com/
