2026 Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Handicap Chase

Best guess at what number will get in this?

Ryan’s Rocket 27 and Highlands Legacy 28 both gotta be unlikely.

Prefer him for this though. Plenty of double entries still so a fair few will defect.
I’m amazed the course switch barely gets a mention here.
There’s been a few recently realise the Mares moving to the new course could be significant, but same with this race as it switches to the old course….

This is a big point and I do consider it for the races being switched….maybe not enough tho tbf. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.

I'd much prefer him in this. I'm in him at 20s ante post and slightly worried that they'll take up the entry in the Plate if they think he isn't getting in this race.

If that happens I've done my money as he won't be able to be balloted out.
 
I always look at De Bromhead at 2m. At the moment he has a number entered ie Intgepocket, Downmexicoway, Zurich (more likely the Plate), Special Cadeau, and Jasko des Dames. It’s the latter I like. His 1st hcp was in this race last year off 131 when he was 7 1/4 L 5th to Jazzy Matty rcg 4lb. He would have been a lot closer bar mistake 2 out. He now meets that horse on 3lb better terms. He came here in Oct (c and d) and was 7l 2nd to Calico rcg 6lb. I think this has been a long range target.

Agree - backed him a few weeks back. Comes out very well on all the trends as well.
