JLT Novices 2018

Ok guys .. it is getting late in the evening, and i have had a few drinks ,but could someone please explain to me how Finian's Oscar could possibly have captured anyone's heart?


Aintree 2017 ?

This race looks very trappy to me but seems Terrefort is only one paper tipsters want.

I would agree but then CSS has franked the form and the race isn't that deep. I couldn't have him at the current prices but to those on at bigger I say fair play
 
Shattered Love all day for me. Happy with Kemboy at a bigger price, but she is my idea of the winner
 
Could do with Finians to kickstart Robbie Power having backed him at 25's to be top jock, don't hold out a lot of hope though, unless he follows up with Supasundae and Our Duke but you never know
 
I have come round massively to Shattered Love

I think most people's bets are on FO from the start of the season :highly_amused:

I can't even describe how I'll feel if FO wins today.

I am in the same boat, Finian's Oscar is by far my best outcome for this race, through AP bets, but either Shattered Love and Invitation Only would not be disastrous either.

The Irish have won the Arkle, Four Miler and RSA so far... I expect a clean sweep today to be honest.

Invitation Only
Shattered Love
Kemboy

but hopefully FO :p
 
Terrefort now fav

A huge move for shattered love too. She was 25/1 the other day.
It's a trappy race . If Anyone picks the winner with 1 you've done very well.
there's only West approach/ modus/ kemboy I can discount with any confidence.

I picked the wrong race for Shattered Love :( But have her covered for this one now!
 
Well done cod. She travelled lovely.

And well done to you too! Knew she was a star, made such a case for her in the RSA, then they re-routed her here haha! Still, she done me proud.

On a side note, Finian's Oscar was far from the worst jumper in that race and apart from one or 2 he didn't meet right he ran a good enough race IMO.

Yeh he ran well imo. Invitation had no chance a very long way out (my placepot is down) . Modus jumped poorly as I thought he would tbh. Terrefort ran very well. But the winner won with authority
 
Was waiting for 1100 pts for Finian's Oscar :highly_amused:

Still, 10/1 winner and 20 or 25/1 place - can't complain :p

The Irish novices CLEARLY ahead IMO
 
Without the two successive mistakes I think Kemboy would have been third. I think he looks an awkward ride and no surprise if they drop him back in trip and ride him more forcefully.

This made me go for Shattered Love. Happy days
