2017 RSA Chase

Couldn't believe the Neon Wolf price. Seems like utter madness to me.

Big move for Bacardys on the back of what Willie has said. Still decent value for me... think he has the best form on offer and should probably be fav. Festival form a huge plus.
 
I have backed Coney Island for the JLT (NRNB) so a little biased but I think RSA would be a mistake. I think he is more speed than stamina and I suspect there will be nothing for non-stayers in this year's RSA.
 
Groan...I know that FM, it's been a very long day apologies.been looking at miles to many horses and trainers over the last few days.:sleeping:

Joking apart, I think Yorkhill will frighten a few away, and I think Coney Island should get 3m well enough on decent ground. He pushed Bellshill and Our Duke all the way to the line and they look solid stayers.

:highly_amused: the next two weeks can turn the sharpest mind to mush.

Based on that, with Coney Island 3/1 and Bellshill 12/1, I know which one I'd rather back now!

If they turn up I can see a war of attrition of the front end with the likes of Might Bite, Royal Vacation and Acapella. You might want to get four miles.

Can't understand why anyone would be scared of a very dubious jumper who beat Jett a couple of lengths on his latest start. Unless he gets a charmed passage up the rail I see can see him being all over the place. Think Willie will be praying that a few might be daft enough to be running scared. If he struggles to settle stamina limitations might be another negative.
 
Coney Island out I'm seeing on twitter
