Just watching last years RSA back. Monalee's jumping up to 2 out was absolutely foot perfect. Raced keenly to put it lightly, but absolutely tanked through the race. I was in the JLT camp last year and was gutted he went over 3m cause 2m5f at Cheltenham looks absolutely tailor made for him. I know HDB has said he is leaning this way, just hope the owners agree.

Concur. I was on him anyway, and I thought his run really showed how good Percy was cos I thought Monalee was tremendous

He would have been much closer to PP had Noel not had to battle with him the whole way round.

Waiting Pariently
Won’t do the alliteration as do not wish to piss anyone off ))
Hope we see defend Betfair Chase on Saturday
How gutsy was Cue Card last year?

Just for the record I love WP

Laid off some of top notch at 11.5 . For no other reason than i have in my mind that he had a bad reaction to his original flu jab

Hendo said this back in Nov -

Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon on December 9 after having to scrap plans to run him at Ascot on Saturday.

Henderson had hoped to give the classy performer the chance to win the Christy 1965 Chase for the second year running, but has had to wait a few more weeks to get him back on the course.

“He had a bad reaction to a flu vaccination about month ago, but he is getting there,” said the Seven Barrows trainer.

“It is amazing, you do get some horses that do get it and you can’t do anything about it.

“The Christy 1965 Chase would have been perfect for him, but the Peterborough Chase will probably now be his most likely starting point.”

Doesn't that mean he had the jab within the last 6 months?

No. Likely just out side the window. As hes said today. He can't run at the weekend.

he was out for a few months after the jab because he had a bad reaction to it. Thats why he he had a late hurdles prep. Dosent mean he will again. But id have softened the blow significantly

That's the one.

If that quote is correct, he said in November that the jab was 'about (a?) month ago'.

Hes said today he can't run at the weekend because of it. So I ouwldnt take the prior quote literally to the day. He must have fallen just out side the 6 months, either now or by the time chelt comes round.

That sucks! We all wanted Coral Cup!

Reckon he's thrown a few curveballs. Said he will have an entry.

That was what I thought with that.

Although my glasses are pretty rosey today.

 

[jonthehammer]

I still think it will depend on what hurdles mark he gets.

Waiting Patiently running today on..
Good to Soft - Good in places.
Full weight twats in that yard.
Probably say that at ascot it's different grass or something similarly inane.
shouldn't annoy me as much but it does

:highly_amused:

I've been hoping 365 would push WP out over the last couple of months but remained at 11/2NRNB, which I've finally taken.

Just think its a bet to nothing.

nothing is the key word.

She sounds reluctant to ever run at Cheltenham. Would always have to be nrnb. Watch her interview on This Racing Life on RTV. Basically she's afraid he'll fall jumping on undulating tracks.
