J.L.T Novices Chase 2019

Hugely interesting.
Master dino has an entry over here.
I'd love to know if hes coming back for chelt.

Plumpton bonus race too.

would you think arkle for Dino if he goes to plumpton and wins?

Not sure maybe, maybe JLT. He's a huge interest. I need to find out it's a plan. Looks it going for the bonus race

More tracks should do it - they could use 50p off every £5 pint they charge for
 
I think it's a no brainer to back On The Blind Side before the race tomorrow at 20/1 with 365. (which I have - 2pts)
For Henderson to pitch him in first time out at the track speaks volumes for me. (something he's usually very reluctant to do) He's had other opportunities recently (including Haydock just gone) so for him to do with the field as it is is a decent indicator of the level he's held in. I imagine there's also a case for them maybe wanting to see how he reacts to the track after shin issues last season after winning here but i'd be surprised if the price is pushed out much even if he does flop such is the field he is facing.

A fantastic race instore though for sure - I'd probably be siding with Lostintranslation if I had to bet in the race purely with him being the biggest price. I think Defi du Seuil won a race that on paper looked stronger than it was and ended up a fortunate winner. Topofthegame would have won without being 20 lengths behind at the start and Black Op first time out was always a risky bet. I'd expect Black Op to improve for the run, On The Blind Side could be anything but at a bigger price and with LBAR boosting the form since - a mistake free round could see him win this.

Trainer Nicky Henderson said: “He's got to start somewhere and this is it. He was very good over hurdles and is just coming to himself now. He's schooled well. He's just taken a bit of time to come to hand, but there's been nothing wrong. Some horses just take a bit of time.

On The Blind Side: was very good over hurdles and has schooled well over fences, says Nicky Henderson

“I don't like throwing them into races like this first time, and it's a good race. But he's got to get started and this is somewhere nice. Haydock in heavy? No thanks. Lingfield in heavy? No thanks. The distance is right and the ground will be right."

Jeez. Surely he won't come over. Are there any prices on him for the festival? He'll be a banker for me should he come over. I reckon connections may want to retain the Arkle but who knows for sure.

14's 'any race' if that entry stands I'm going in on him.

Don't want to ruin the price, but I can see the string of 1s by Master Dino - is Tunis he's beating good?

What's the collateral form?
 
Vinndication is 10/1 NRNB with Skybet now

Also I’ve tried sneaking Mister Dino into sky’s Arkle and JLT markets by asking for a bunch of horses and putting him in the middle

I wouldn't go overboard as they were juveniles. but they're better than the English juveniles. Mullins sent a battalion over including.. stormy Ireland that couldn't get near at auteuil . He'll also get an age allowance.

I think you'll get alot bigger than 14s any race someone will be dumb enough to price up huge. He's a serious player.

Oh f*ck someone's added him already. Dissapointed at that.
 
Lostintranslation back to fluid jumping and surged up the hill.
 
Pretty good from Lostintranslation!
Wouldn't rule out Defi Du Seuil for the JLT either but LIT was good.

Black Op can't jump. On The Blind Side I have no idea?
 
Warren Greatrex will have to reconsider his La Bague Au Roi plans as well :p

She'd have to go close here
 
Good and the bad that for me....2 points on Lostintranslation at 25s and 2.5 points on Ontheblindside...expect to take a cash out hit on that one
 
Not sure I like the form too much, but it's in black and white so maybe I should focus. I'll have a think.

Mick Fitz cursed OTBS before the race
 
very nice performance by lostintranslation
 
Pleased with that from Lostintranslation, good round of jumping and ended that nice and strongly, the 22s any race ticket is looking a bit nicer now after that!

Not quite sure what happened with OTBS seemed a bit slow going at fences, be interested to see what he gets priced at now as that was a tough test first time back and first time over fences, I'm sure he will come on for the run.
 
Very unsatisfactory race ,poor jumping in general and The Blind Side ran like he wasnt right from start, Lostintranslation probably best of the four with cheltenham in mind. Dont think we saw a JLT winner or even a placed horse if im honest.

OTBS and Black Op jumped poorly and DDS was sketchy at times too. But, given the fact the winner now has course form to go with his form behind La Bague Au Roi, I'd say it’s a decent enough performance especially as nothing else has really come forward for the JLT yet.
