2026 Novice Chasers

He's already got others entered though.
I mean as in El Fab was withdrawn from the 2m chase. But has retained his entry here. Implying, maybe only mildly, that a hurdle campaign may be in the offing.

Not sure if mentioned previously but both Salvator Mundi & Kargese entered up in the beginners chase at Leopardstown on 27th.

Same race that Soldier In Milan is entered up in.

Interesting that both are in the Grade 1 too. Given that Kopek is ruled out, I wonder if they'll be split between the two races?

Westport Cove surely goes in as he’s shed his maiden tag.

Not impossible but would be surprised if he sent Mundi or Kargese to the Grade 1 without a maiden win.

I’ve taken the opinion that some of willies will improve for run. Have done Kargese for arkle and Jade de grugy for mares

Final Demand, Jimmy du Seuil and Kitzbuhel have entries for the Kauto Star.
Final demand doesn't but Jimmy/kitzbuhel yes. What do we make of this race lads ? Slaver and WenDigo in here too. Looks a good one
 
Willie must feel that he’s gone more than one proper horse for the BANC to split them up at Christmas
 
Bit of a concern I have about the Mullins horses is that last year all the horses he sent over to uk before Cheltenham all got beat. Not sure what the stats on that are the year before
 
Absolutely. Cracker. Personally I really fancy big jimmy.
I hope Jimmy comes over - will be having the Xmas money on him if he does. Suspect he’ll be a class above Wendigo and the other English horses.

Impose not doing the Coral form any harm and can clearly remember how Jimmy motored away from him to put the race to bed.
 
I wonder why Final Demand had the entry at 9.17 but they took him out before the noon cut-off.

I didn't give this too much thought as the first horse I thought of (Lossiemouth) proved it to be wrong...

I don't get it?
