2026 Novice Chasers

1/7 sounds decent enough to me!

And this year's BANC is wide open imo.
 
Have i been a total muppet by putting £10 on miradbad tomorrow and then backed for arkle at 80/1 ! I get the impression that it could be harrys arkle ride and it wont be that price on the day!
 
Well the two 2m chases in uk tomorrow should give us a little clarification regarding the arkle.
I’m expecting a shorty being stuffed and running at Southwell next month😉

Lots of positive reports of Kopeks work at Punchestown. And a video of him well clear doing the rounds.

Might have to go in again before tomorrow's racing or he could be odds on.

He's moved from 5.0 to 4.0 today on the back of it.

Would you take 5/2 nrnb or 3/1 ante post? I've got enough on him but the 5/2 is extremely tempting

So he's 4/1 with 365 and only 3/1 on the exchange ?
One of them is wrong....

4/1 ante is worth the risk for me.

Been adding that to multiples the last week or so

Just need Denise to release the cashouts now so I can get even giddier
 
Yeah that makes more sense as there’s 8.6% difference between 5/2 and 4/1.
Personally I’d split stakes.
If Kopek gets there, there are positive noises, and his price is nibbled leading up to the Arkle, I can see him getting hammered into a strong fav, 7/4 not impossible in my opinion….
 
I’d say it’s a difficult one.
We are not going to see him on the racetrack now, so it’s listening to people and working out who’s worth taking notice of. One race over fences all season and health problems.
Lulamba runs well tomorrow he will stay fav imo, and he could be a shorter priced fav if it’s an impressive run.
On the other hand a failure tomorrow to perform then it’s all different.
Hopefully he runs well tomorrow, Kopek pleases everyone in the lead up, and we get a clash to savour in March.
