National Hunt Chase (4 miler) 2019

Looks more and more like just Gun digger in this for Giggi ?
Only guessing though.
owt could happen
 
Jacob gave Le Breuil as his best outside ride for the ultima last night. ??

Thats news to D.Jacob as he said last night he rides the horse in the Ultima and it was his best outsider of the fez :highly_amused:
 
And exactly how many times has he won this race? Anyone would think it was 6 or 7.
 
seen the price collapse on mortal? with what was said last night youd think it would be drifting like the kon tiki

I'm not sure if this is a thing or purely in my head (haven't checked) but i always thought Le Brueil needed to go right handed to be seen at best effect.

Won 3 out of first 4 then 2 out of last 11, 2 horse race at Huntingdon and a Class 3 at Fakenham. It doesn't suggest he is exactly brilliant in any direction.
 
I'm staggered at Le Breuil.

I need to re-assess this race.

I did not expect to be needing to do that a week ago :highly_amused:

It was in my head. He's just not very good, although he was highly thought of as a novice hurdler.

I won't be falling into the trap of getting him onside again this year FM anyway! Not after my unwarranted confidence going into the Coral Cup last year. He's definitly talented but he not hardy enough & lacks real guts in the finish of his races! What makes connections think this race is suitable is beyond me.

Cue him hacking up next Tuesday...
