2024 Novice Chasers

[HesTheOne]

It’s over the NHC trip tho ….so suggests Browns maybe more likely this year if they go?

Yea you’d think browns is more likely if he romps home in the Kauto.

in Mark Howard’s book (if I can remember right with a killer hangover) connections thought he could win at 2m in the uk if he wanted but was more likely to go out in trip.

I backed him for turners and banc after the book but would think the latter is more likely.

I thought that FR GC target was for next year. Not a race many novices would attempt if I’m not mistaken.

He looks a weapon for sure

The trainer said that because the FR GC is the long term target, they would rather be stepping out in trip that down (even though they think he can win at 2m).

So French GC this season then. Not sure what that means to his chances of coming over as there are prep races in France in March. Ummmmmm

Barry O'Connell stating on RTV that Marine Nationale likely to pitch up at Leopardstown 2m1f beginners chase instead of Navan next week due to soft ground and forecast

[Atlantic Viking]

Marine Nationale more likely Leaopardstown at Christmas, doesn't want to start him off on testing ground is the jist of it. Mentions Leopardstown Xmas -> DRF -> Cheltenham.

[Exar Essay]

Barry Connell tending towards ruling out Marine Nationale from the potential Clash with ITP at Navan in the 2m beginners. Starting to contract his schedule a little too now, suggesting beginners in December, DRF, Chelts. So no meeting with Facile Vega until DRF at the earliest by the looks.

I did say there will be a stonebruise or something....didn't even need that

[darlojim]

Well you'd hope corbetts jumping will get better than them first 2 fences jesus

[DenmanSacre]

Corbetts Cross disappointing there.

Corbetts cross looked far from a natural

Not one for me at this stage

GCW is 25/1 with B365 - surely a rick. Everyone else going 10's or 12's

[Brooksie]

That was good from Grangeclare West. He was a bit sketchy at the first few but warmed up to it nicely. Shame they couldn't have jumped the last few in the straight.

I'm not convinced he will ever be seen at his best over 20f, it will be looked at as a good intro and build on that.
I know all the talk has been BANC but he could still end up in the NH Chase...
