National Hunt Chase (4 miler) 2018

[BigChaang]

Should have said "hopes" rather than guesses haha...

Jury Duty has been cut to 11/2 with PP NRNB .... 12s available as you mentioned earlier.... Having backed Fagan and able to cash it out, I think I will and 1 pt ew Jury Duty

Do you not think Fagan will run Kev, or just Fancy Jury duty more ?.

Jury Duty declared in the Naas G3 on Sunday.

Fagan was a speculative early season one, hoping that he turned up.

Jury Duty has form in the book and a higher rating and am altogether better profile now IMO so yes I'd prefer him now.

Im not cashing Fagan out though yet

Gordon Elliott is in no doubt about which race Jury Duty should go for at the Cheltenham Festival.

"I would say the four-miler would look the ideal race for Jury Duty," said Elliott of the seven-year-old who is still available at 12-1 with some firms for the festival marathon.*

Victory here would see these odds shorten significantly as he is already a Grade 2 winner this season and only found the mare Shattered Love too hot to handle in the Grade 1 Neville Hotels Novice Chase at Leopardstown's Christmas festival.*

"Jury Duty seems to*be in great form and this looks a nice race for him. He should run his race," Elliott added.*





Looking for a solid run tomorrow under his penalty.

Gordon Elliott is in no doubt about which race Jury Duty should go for at the Cheltenham Festival.

You couldn't say Jury Duty wanted 4 miles on that run

Backed Moulin au vent 20/1 straight after race antepost. So hopefully he's mentioned as target also. I thought jury duty was the winner all over but Moulin au vent might not be in the race itself and obviously a completely different race. He wouldn't be asked to go for home as early. Carrying a fair bit of weight also.
Moulin au vent beat the thyestes winner along way staying on stoutly before that and revieved 8 pounds today.

Same here. Hard to see him go for any other race? His beating of Monbeg Notorious has been enhanced and connections managed to get Jamie Codd onboard A Genie inabottle last season for this race.

Here's what Meade had to say about a week or so ago:

We think he is a very good horse. He won his beginners chase well at Fairyhouse and we ran him back quick enough at Leopardstown at Christmas time, but he took a fence out by the roots that day and his jumping has always been his Achilles’ heel. If we can get his jumping ironed out, I think he will develop into a good horse and he’ll go to Naas for a good three-mile novice chase at the end of this month and after that then possibly he’ll go to Navan. I’d say he will be entered in the RSA and the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham

.

Meade has a good relationship with Nina Carberry with her riding out a lot of his bumper runners this season? Could have the option of her riding as well?

.

His hurdles mark is extremely appealing but I want 4 miler now obviously

 

[jono]

Noel Meade just now:

The four miler the obvious target but his jumping a big concern

Bar going back over hurdles it would have to be the race to run him in? I remember thinking Minella Rocco had no chance even with Derek O'Connor onboard in this race a few years ago due to his jumping buts it's one of the few races you can actually get away with it to a degree. A top jockey onboard and he's up there. Whether his jumping puts the better jockeys off his chances though...

*update*

and from ATR afterwards

Meade said: "There is no doubt that he has a lot of ability but he doesn't know how to jump. I don't know why as he's such a good mover.

"Sean said he jumps very flat and gets in under them. He made a bad mistake at the third last and that's where he got out of it.

"I thought I was going to be third but he stays very well. Hopefully some day he'll get his jumping right and when he does he has a good engine.

"We put the blinkers on because at home he was throwing his head around and it got him to concentrate on the fences and what he was doing. Sean said he settled better with them and we'll leave them on.

"His owner is very keen that he goes to Cheltenham. The obvious race is the four-miler but whether you would put an amateur on him I don't know."

 

[Folski]

Meade actually said he will more than likely stay in Ireland as he doesn't think he'd like going up and down the hills at Cheltenham.

Also taken 20/1 Moulin A Vent with WH.

The points raised about Meade getting Codd last year and the relationship with Nina are solid enough to take the chance that they could affect the price.

I also did think Jury Duty was a big player before today, so having beaten him, taking a bigger price than I have Jury Duty at is not that hard to justify.

I am not as put off by Jury Duty's performance as others seem to be and think they will still aim him here. Good ground in March and I think he will be there or thereabouts.

I'm not put off by him at all personally, very respectable run with an 8 pound penalty

 

[Faugheen_Machine]

JD traveled the best in the Pertemps last season and looked the winner at the bottom of the hill. I think there'll be much stronger stayers than him in the 4 miler and he'll fade in the run in but he'll probably look like the winner coming down the hill.

 

[Scooby91]

Also backed mossback ew 25/1 1/4 nrnb.
I really liked that race yesterday. Snow falcon isn't entered for the 4 miler. And despite his fall when still staying on. If he was to go here. He's no 25/1 shot. And that will do me for this race.


Jury duty 12/1 1/4 ew nrnb bog
Mossback 25/1 1/4 ew bog
Presenting percy 33/1 win. Likely nr
Moulin au vent 20/1 win.

Could Sizing Tennessee go for this? I think his form looks pretty good but I would be worried about his jumping & Tizzard..

I think I read Tizzard say he'd go for the RSA.... but Elegant Escape and Sizing could easily swap I suppose.

I don't think you would run him in the rsa on his last run. Would make more sense elegant escape rsa to me. And sizing Tennessee ultima handicap chase. But iv tried second guessing tizzard before this season
