2021 Marsh Novices Chase

[Atlantic Viking]

If I had all the spare time in the World I wouldn't waste a single second of it reading a Henderson blog. Collating all the possible scenarios then using Kevs wheel of fortune would prove more reliable.

 

[Imperial Commander]

Ha ha, no-one has to read it who doesn't want to!

 

[Kevloaf]

Haha, Brooksie getting a question to Patrick.

Still banging the Asterion Forlonge drum :applause:



Didn't sound promising for you






However, it did sound like Monkfish would be aimed at Punchestown for a clash with Envoi Allen..... so let's hope Gordy plays ball!

 

[Brooksie]

Haha, didn't sound promising at all did it

 

[Kevloaf]

Who is actually an intended runner here?

We can rule out easily....
Energumene, Royale Pagaille and Monkfish....

Sporting John I'm pretty sure they've name dropped the 3m race?

Shan Blue and Protektorat, are they both going to run (Who would ride who?)

Allart is probably an intended runner, given that he's avoiding Shishkin,

Andy Dufrense is rubbish. Same trainer, could run I suppose?

Fusil Raffles?
Franco De Port?
Chatham Street Lad?
Chantry House?



I feel like there is a really obvious "without" bet, but can't work it out :welcoming:

 

[OverTheLast]

I'd be keen on Franco De Port in the without market.

 

[OverTheLast]

Great video but even just seeing EA wandering around the stable with a bairn on his back makes me nervous :biggrin-new: In my minds eye he's tucked up cosy watching netflix in a stable covered in the best bubble wrap money can buy.

Hahaha, brilliant.

Franco 9’s ew without Envoi....
likely to run here and be willies #1 with PT on
Only beaten by energumene all season.. and race to cut up.
looks crying out for a step up all year

Hendo said Allart is doubtful and sore post fall.

 

[Ray]

Shan blue is near enough confirmed protektorat they have said will go up in trip, either the rsa which i doubt or at aintree...franco de port looks ideal for this he stays on well at 2 miles and looks to need a little further. But shan blue will defo be the second best horse in this race for me! Jumps so well and should stay on up the hill

 

[Willdunn99]

BlackBow could be one a little outside the box. He’s got an entry. He’s flattered to deceive on many occasions, but could be worth a try up in trip to see if it brings any improvement.

ran reasonably well at Cheltenham in the bumper before coming 5th. Although old course not new course.

you can boost to 28/1 WO envoi Allen NRNB. Not a bad poke if it cuts up effectively only needs to finish top 4, how hard can that be

 

[Comedy of errors]

Chantry house is entered up at wetherby on wednesday, last chance saloon for him to book his place, I think I read somewhere they’ve done work on his back, he has been poor this year but at the start of the season he was maybe second fav was it, it will be interesting to see how he goes, I got the feeling Henderson at the start of the season thought he was maybe his novice chaser at around this distance

 

[Pendil1111]

yeah !
It was a reference to the way the lad talked compared to Gordon.
Obviously a shit joke if I have to explain it. :sorrow:
I'll try and do better.

I got it Q

He did indeed say that start of season re CH, but then during season he said they would step up to 3m.

I would be careful re SB, I would not be surprised if they went to Aintree with him rather than Cheltenham, hope I’m wrong as he could be a big threat imo.

Fusil Raffles would be my choice without fav, likes Cheltenham and seems one of a few Hendo horses not really been affected by weather etc

I don't think he's fluent enough to feature in a proper race around Cheltenham. Loads of niggly mistakes that doesnt find him out in plain company, but will in top IMO.

And to think, I backed him for an Arkle :beguiled:

You may be right Charlie, but apart from one mistake lto, i thought he jumped well. Not sure how much of a proper race this will be!! Going to be very few runners i suspect. I need to do some sort of bet as not on EA at all.
Certainly wont be any serious punting going on though.
