RSA Chase 2019

Delta Work is winning over an inadequate trip. Sign of a smart horse.
 
Liked it that much iv gone back in at 14s. And that's rare for me.
 
I think it's important that some viewers are aware of recency bias and bookmaker tactics.
The shortening of both Santini and Delta Work are prime examples of over reactions (Don't get me wrong they both could be a lot shorter come the day and the drinmore is usually a decent guide)
With Delta Work in particular, should he be beaten over 3 miles at christmas or in Feb, especially by a stablemate. And Santini and others show good form over here. I could easily see the JLT being seriously considered.
Having said that. I'd have took 14's today (with cash out though)

Agree with this, with the giggy chasers I tend to back any race and then top up with a specific race as I have the cash out option. Though saying that I topped up after the race at 16's with bet victor, kept it small stakes as no cash out but that was by far the best price on offer. I do hope DW will hold his own going forward, had some of the best for over 3 miles last year........

He already has held his own that was a deep race. 16/1 14/1 was a gift.
 
I’ve gone in on the related form double on front two. The pulled 8L clear of Jetz and 12l from Cadium and 16l from Discorama. I don’t expect they will meet again.

That’s it - le richebourg price is unchanged but I thought that was his best run

I do think this could turn out to have been a very strong renewal of the Drinmore.

Deffinately his best run. Hes ground dependant though. Had it in his favour today.
 
I was expecting the price to shorten but it was already too short. The price is about right now.
 
Can anyone get a price up for Delta work - R.s.a 2019/Gold cup 2020 ??.
 
I was thinking about a price for the Gold Cup. I would want a wild price. You don't get wild prices these days. I would want around 60/1.
 
If you had to pick 3 horses to make a shortlist for this race, that have already had a run... what would they be. Mine are:

Delta Work - HAs Festival winning form, a close 2nd in a G1 too, has taken to fences well and won the Drinmore today. Impossible not to have in the shortlist.
Santini - Also impossible not to have on the shortlist of most likely winners. Price is way too short but he won so well that he's a clear pick.
Struggling a bit for a 3rd that's had a run that is on my shortlist still... I suppose La Bague Au Roi is in the top 3 I've seen so far...but I've made my thoughts clear on where I think her limitations are.
 
Added duc des genievres at 180.0 form tailed off last season but he stayed on well in the ballymore and had good form before that. Should make a nice chaser.
 
If they were inclined to get him a mark scooby, I've got him on my watchlist for the Novices Chase.
 
You'd have to be delighted with topofthegame there. Huge run.
 
Very promising run there from Topofthegame considering he gave the field 20 lengths at the start. Think he was spooked by the start tape flashing past him. Cobden gave him a lovely ride easing him back into the field and his jumping was bang on. Hopefully see him stepped up to 3m at Kempton over the Christmas for the Kauto Star.

Will Be some race. Santini / topofthegame / la bague au roi
