Cilaos emery is 159 and factually is the highest rated hurdler going novice chasing.

Ah yes, so he is, CE was 153, was looking at the wrong thing. DDS is 157 so not an awful lot between them and clearly DDS is back to form now too. Hoping we see CE soon though!!
 
Vinndication entered up for the 2m 4f grade 2 novice chase at Cheltenham on Saturday, if he lines & wins there’s no way Kim can convince connections to skip the festival imo. In fairness this is probably a sighter.

I hope he runs here and not Ascot.

You & me both Kev

If he runs I’d imagine he’ll be half his current price for the JLT afterwards.

What else is entered.
. Can't think of anything being aimed at it from the top of my head.
 
Be a few in there looking for a sighter of the track and a mark for the Novice Handicap Chase I'd say.

Poor turn out. Surprising. He should win that really if he goes there. can't really see any of the opposition being a player come March.

What don't you like about Vinndication?

I think he's a reet nice type.

Biiig chaser. Heart like a lion. Wins the JLT by 1L.

Easy

Might have mis wrote it or you misread it. I don't dislike him. I think the opposition entered up against him is very poor. Won't learn much there.
It's a no win sit...
If he gets beat he's no chance in the JLT.
If he wins he's beat nothing of note.

True enough, I think the form of his Carlisle win may prove to be good in the future, unfortunately Euxton Lane is no longer with us. Over hurdles he beat Champ the current favorite for the Ballymore giving him 6lbs. He was obviously wrapped in cotton wool to a certain extent last season with a good chasing campaign in mind. I like him, wears his heart on his sleeve & he won’t be stopping up the hill in March!

33's is great value, ill certainly be topping up on Friday if he's declared.

Nah I didn't misread, just was guessing/poking around to see why you hadn't weighed in or against him yet :highly_amused:

The only thing we'll learn is if he'll handle Cheltenham I suppose
 
Vinndication:

The 33/1 shot for the JLT Novices' Chase has been given an entry in the Ryman Novices' Chase at Cheltenham's International Meeting on Saturday.

Bailey is tempted by giving him some Cheltenham experience, but admits a race at Ascot the following weekend has always been plan A.

"We've put him in a race at Cheltenham so we'll see what the weather does," he said.

"He wants soft ground and we will take a look at the race.

"He's in really good form although the form of his chasing debut hasn't quite worked out yet, so we'll see."

Will be a shame if he skips what looks a winnable race at Cheltenham in favour of Ascot. If that happens i'd say it's almost certain he won't be festival bound
 
Form hasn't worked out yet. The 2nd hasn't run, the 3rd has died, the distant 4th was beat by arguably the best novice chase performance of the season.

He's obviously desperate to swerve Cheltenham. Hopefully the owners let him know who's boss.
 
I'd want to see him left-handed before getting involved.
 
good to see Hardline get a mention for this in the Lydia column today. Im not sure if he comes here but have him covered for this and any race markets.

Got smashed to pieces by Voix Du Reve over a trip too short for the pair of them I suspect. I don't see the form being turned around for any reason.

Big Voix Du Reve fan, hope he comes here over the Arkle.

I suspect Hardline would have to come here really, Mengli Khan looks like the number 1 for the Arkle.
