Daryl Jacob NAPs James Du Berlais in the Turners for day 3 on the Sporting Life preview night. Clearly towing the party line, but at least seems to confirm he goes here.

They might wanna set him off now if he’s to have a chance :angel:

James de Berlais in the new Journey with Me and American Mike for me, was convinced he'd be heading to the BANC.

Also Hendo's revelation that Balco Coastal runs here and not in the Plate has hurt, he acknowledges the horse has come on plenty since Sandown and is well ahead of his mark but he seems intent on taking on Mighty Potter.
Just like Mister Coffey avoiding the Kim Muir in favour of the taking on the G1 horse in the G2 NH Chase, GDM.
He must like place money.

All pocket talk of course...

I think he'll go with a chance. I have to draw a line under his run at the DRF. I think he'll set the fractions in the Turners, which he was unable to do at the DRF because Gaillard done this and JDB was almost restrained and taken back, and he didn't like it, plus made a fair error at the 2nd fence. Willie won't mind the pace he sets as it should also aid Appreciate Its chances too, but also JDB ran freely on debut and yet it was a great performance from him. IF he's allowed to go and do the same again at the festival in a race nearly 1 1/2f shorter than the DRF race I do think he'll go very close.

I really hope they send him out to the front and he goes hard enough.
 
On all known form it'd be a bit of a shock to see James Du Berlais feature in this race...

I'm quite heavily invested but that pre chase debut 'any race' and followed up afterwards but I've been disappointed.

I think he has essentially just not lived up to the 'hype'.... which he may well do at some point, but backing him now is a bit of a stretch and can see why some would just have no interest in him at all for grade 1's

He hasn't a hope In hell if he jumps anything like as bad as he did at the DRF

I hope I'm wrong as I backed him at the start of the season without cashout but he looked a bit small and didn't attack his fences at all

This is where I'm at with him.

Although I doubled down NRNB in the BANC pre Dublin so I'm happy enough to be getting my money back there to be honest :glee:

Absolutely.

He'll need to go from the front, IMO. Didn't like to be jumping in and amongst other horses, well not compared with a his debut where he got a solo.
 
Balco Coastal definitely comes here and with a chance apparently.
Personally I have Mighty Potter as a monster, can't see BC getting near him...

I think he's a great ew play at the prices. But MP is a big winner for me, so it's also for a bit of cover!
 
Chance Sir Gerhard comes here now with the soft going?

Ummmmmm, not sure what to make of that.....was getting used to it being a match between Gerri and him. Now he has Harry, Appreciate me , Banbridge and Stage Star to contend with.

That Spectre is wrong and Gerri Colombe is a good thing in the BANC
