2026 Mares Chase


Townend's brief mention of hurdling here is reflecting in the exchanges with nothing really moving.
Think he's lining his ducks to some extent. Lot can change yet though.
But general Bookies prices are way off the mark IMO
 
The Mares Chase isn't for Novices is it so losing her Novice status doesn't really mean much to be honest... Reckon Lossie goes Champion Hurdle it's almost certain Jade will revert to Hurdles.
Bang on. She's Mares Hurdle bound for sure
 
Yeah when I seen she was out again today I thought the same. Could that also add fire to the Lossie decision has been made for the Mares?
OK....Ive bitten

Not a chance
 
Another nice boost to the Kala Conti form as well. Put Jade away easily over fences. It's stacking up.

Yeah it is another boost, although we know that Mullins horses have not been great on there first run so I'm hoping she goes here and improves.
 
Requested a price on Kala Conti from PP for BANC. No reply. They are running scared.

Why would Kala Conti go anywhere else but the mares chase ?

I don;t really see Only by Night being an issue with this.
 
I came on here thinking JDG is a hell of price for the Mares Chase, only to read that she's certain to run in the Hurdle race.

Back to the drawing board!
Could be a good price but I suspect Paul would be on Spindleberry over her. Need to get on Paul's ride really.

The thing is , PT knows he'll be riding Spindleberry in the Mares Chase so he's already got a top , top ride in the race whereas he has nothing for the Mares Hurdle if, as expected, Lossiemouth goes CH. I'd say Willie will almost definitely be thinking along the same lines.....as should most punters!!

It really isn't rocket science.

Anyone taking 20/1 for the Mares Hurdle? That's a big price is she's PTs ride.......

Actually, I think I'll cover her for that
