Johnny Henderson GRAND ANNUAL Challenge Cup Handicap Chase

Gordon been teasing a chase handicap for three season for Fils Doudairies and handicapper teasing him with a lower chase mark. Not much lower mind but off 144 that's competitive range.

And you reckon Mozzie isn't thrown in ??!! He'd pick FD up and spit him out giving him just 6lbs!! :eagerness:

I was hopeful they'd run him in the Galway Plate last year off 137

Thrown in off 150 then surely he’d win this seasons Arkle?

Not necessarily, given Found A Fifty is rated 153, and already beaten him this season, but he'd certainly have a chance.

FWIW I don't think he's thrown in the GA, not even close, this is very much 'money down' talk, IMO.

My Mate Mozzie rated 150 through one of the top 3 worst grade 1s run this season. The winner may win the Arkle but that race was a farce for a 2m chase and as far away from the gallop they'll go at Cheltenham as you'd get. I couldn't have him off 150 - just props up the market for the ones with a real chance.
 
Do this every year, but name me one novice that has won a Cheltenham handicap off a mark of 150+ ??

So has Triple Trade and Dancing on my Own, with Liberty Hunter and Madara winning on the new course. 150 is a hell of a rating to win this race off. Sky Pirate done it 2 years ago off a higher weight as an experienced 2nd season chaser so its possible but he wouldn't be near my shortlist.

Think that's the one "novice"
Unless i've forgotten one or two.
 
Mozzie surely will run in the arkle now

He's pretty much no chance off that mark
