Worse trained horse in NH racing history.
Half surprised he's not in the van with C Hill Southwell bound...
 
Might have slipped un-noticed and I was nodding off but before I did, I'm sure I heard Matt Chapman say something along the lines of he had spoken to Ben Pauling and he wants to keep The Jukebox Kid to right handed tracks.

…..Pauling suggested he could be heading to Irish National.

It’s in the stable tour I think

I’m really struggling with this race, can’t make a strong case for any of the potential Irish challengers, they’re either not gonna get in or not good enough.

My form reading skills don’t stretch as well in the UK. Can anyone more familiar with the lines make a strong case for anything beyond Newton Tornado who I fancy but can’t bring myself to back at the current prices. Will he be much shorter than that on the day?

Edit: I’m not a Wade Out fan at all.

The way I look at it is if Wendigo were allowed to be running in this off 147 then he'd be a really short fav. Wade Out beat him off levels at Worcester over an inadequate trip. The two horses that finished behind him on his next run at Cheltenham both won next time and of course last time at Windsor he was just having a day out.

It's unlikely but if they ran TJK here he'd go off fav imo. I've taken 16/1 NRMB as they don't fancy it but it does seem an obvious potential target and a bet to nothing imo if they do swerve

Wade out is seriously slow though. He'd be PU if he ran in the Leopardstown race that Backmeorsackme won

My thoughts on the NHC going forward now are it’ll be suited better to prominent types. Much like the Ultima.

He clearly isn't. Just watch the Worcester race back. Showed a good turn of pace there.

I was too, but I spent a bit of time yesterday on the race and Rebecca's horse, Newtown Tornado, just seems to tick so many boxes, has the look at of a Haiti #2....

I’m struggling aswell. Looks a really challenging betting race for me. Love it as a spectacle, but perhaps hope for some enhanced places on the day before a punt

Some bit of confidence WCD!

I’m assuming Lucinda et al believe he’s a lot better than his rating? Even being lumped with a 10lbs rise.
