RSA Chase 2018

I thought Invitation Only would have made your list.
 
Our being styles do differ but I can see the upside to backing anyone one of those 4. I still couldn't bring myself to back all 4 for Cheltenham though :highly_amused:
 
Put in the hypothetical flogas
fountains windfall
Presenting percy
Willoughby court.

Against the current 5.
Invitation only
The storyteller
Monalee
Alboum photo
Sutton place.

I'd give the 1st 3 very little chance of winning

I'd happily back all 5. If I hadn't had them covered at big prices. They're not all going to run in the same race. They may not all make it there. And you would have bog/ cashout anyway.
I'd be suprised if you wouldn't be in a very good position.

Obviously the likes of IO / alboum photo a lot of people would already have at 33/1 or bigger on the exchange. so you could leave out the ones you already have well covered accordingly

I think PP and FW are stand outs for the RSA and doubt I'll be changing my mind after Sunday.

I'm interested in Sutton Place for the JLT but do worry about the ground for him so will wait until the day with him.

Yeh everybody thinks differently but I can't have them personally.

Rathvinden isn't without a chance in the rsa either. I basically really rate this years flogas field for the intermediate to staying chases at chelt. Its In another league to any of the trials iv seen the market leaders run in. And i think theyd be well held.

Time will tell but I'm convinced you're wrong. The beauty of this game.
 
It is difficult with the Flogas to know where a winner would go though...

The Storyteller surely would stay at the JLT trip for example?

At the moment I'd be hopeful Al Boum or IO won the Flogas, as I've got both at big prices for the RSA.

Monalee I haven't got on, thought he'd been too short all season....

The Storyteller if he won would stay at the JLT trip for me?

Sutton Place I will back each way, I have assumed he won't run at the festival but with a Flogas entry I'll back him E/W for this and the JLT...

I don't know for a fact the trips any could vary between the 2 races. Anyone who's not on at big prices nrnb the way to go. That's why I usually cover at the 3 figure prices on the exchange earlier in the season.

Iv got
Monalee 16s rsa
jlt 85.0 / 10s nrnb bog ew

Sutton place jlt 20/1 / 12/1 nrnb bog ew
90.0 rsa

Invitation only 33/1 rsa
33/1 jlt

Alboum photo jlt 11/1 ew nrnb bog / 120.0
Rsa 16/1 ew nrnb bog / 120.0


The story teller
16s ew nrnb bog jlt
75.0 rsa

Rathvinden 80.0 48.0 RSA

Tombstone 600.0 RSA


So this is a huge race for me

Yeah very good spot to be in. JLT I'm doing good in, RSA just been a bit of a muddle... which is strange when they're both quite similar :highly_amused:

I wouldn't rule any of them out, but haven't ruled out Monalee, FW or PP either - still not got a strong opinion.

I've backed Percy, Fountains, Al Boum, Invitation, Elegant Escape, West Approach all at 33/1 or bigger and added Sutton Place at 10s tonight...

I do have Death Duty as a non runner too.

Mia's Storm and Bryony Frost will be two mares ahead of her :highly_amused:

I had death duty also. For the jlt and the rsa.

Also had West approach/ ballyoptic at 1 point but managed to cashout for full stake on them 2.

West approach makes no sense to me. He seems to run better at 2m5 but when he runs over 3 he seems slow. Might sound crazy to some but id put him in the jlt. He seems to cut out at the end of his races over 3. Will be interesting to see him at the weekend if he runs.
