2023 Novice Chasers

Well that was very very good. Mighty Potter is a tool over fences.
 
Potter much too good for them.

JDB I can't have for anything

GDM NHC looking the right race!

My initial take.

Horror show for James du Berlais over the first 4. A different mistake each time.

This has upset me. Can’t imagine anything getting near to Mighty Potter. Great performance.

That wasn't even close to his debut performance. Almost looked like they hadn't even bothered schooling him since!

Jacob kept taking him back after every jump too.

Glad Mighty Potter dotted up though.

Brilliant performance. Should go odds on now for Turners. Super run from Adamantly Chosen which Franks Gerri's form hugely. GDM very, very likely to go NHC after that. JDB poor, possibly ground dependant.

Surely they're all nailed on for this now.

Uncle Willie had all those Novice chasers.
Turns out only one of them's any good.

Mullins bingo is definitely a little clearer after that isn't it?

AI should go Turners, GDM should go NHC. Reckon Sir Gerhard joins AI in the Turners and JDB steps up for the BANC, maybe with Kilcruit. First time I've actually played Mullins bingo with some confidence.

Loved that from Potter, still looks raw too. More to come.

I've seen snooker tables make a better shape than JDB.

He made funny shapes on debut.
JDB is a fan boy horse and was never any good in hindsight.
Living off some French form from several years ago and fancy entries.
His French rating was as much of a joke as some of the RPR's this year.
I backed him NRNB myself before anyone starts.

I probably clutching at straws but I'd hope the mistake at the first spooked him and had no confidence for a while, otherwise it was too bad to be true...
 
Not all going according to plan for Willie. He could end up with no Novice chase winners. Who'd have thought that ! Gordon looks in position A for Turners and BANC now.
 
In JDB defence I suspect the early mistake jarred up his back which led to him not really making a good shape at the rest of his fences,if so I expect he'll be off for a week or 2,maybe some swimming for him.
