Cross Country Chase 2019

Should have backed him when I requested him 4-5 months ago!

Without NRNB?

Too risky especially as it's never been mentioned still. Just an entry?

I've not heard him say it
 
I’ve been pretty convinced if the Don comes to Cheltenham this year it will be for this, with an eye to the GN.

I’ve not put my money where my mouth is yet but a free bet or 2 at 14s wouldn’t be the worst thing I’ve used them on

Be some shout! I wouldn't think he's the type but they've tripped hunting with him etc so I suppose it's more on the radar than I've considered.

You going to start a thread for the 'main' Yankee soon HF?
 
Yes was just thinking that it’s time to get the discussion going now that the weights are out
 
Just seen that the Tiger was last matched at 3.5 on Betfair and there is no money for backing him. As only 22k has been bet on the race probably not anything but bad thoughts have started to go through my head...my week would be destroyed
 
Mods are going to have to starting dishing out fines for purely speculative talk about Tiger's well being. Twice in two days now ;)

Looks fine now.... Jesus give a man a heart attack!!
 
GE: My best chance is Tiger Roll but there's no such thing as a good thing in a 3m 6f Cross Country Race.

Sure Gordon, with a Cheshire Cat grin etched all over your face :)
 
When I see there has been a post on this thread I instantly look up to see if there are any new posts in the 'Out for the festival' thread. Surely I am not the only one!

Definitely, heart missing beat time for me.
Already been hurt by Cilaos Emery, Penhill and Laurina heading to the champion hurdle, a Tiger Roll defection might just finish me off...

I'm the same with Santini Ista, would be the final nail in the coffin

Yep, think we’re 2 of many in that boat though I have been steadily getting with Delta Work since the equine flu issues but I’ve multi’d Santini with more and is my preferred winner.
Here’s hoping...

Yeah I've tried to get with Delta work, I did the boost of Delta Work and Paisley Park just before Penhill got ruled out.

Clondaw Cian only horse not declared for Cross Country
 
Urgent de gregaine should have a huge chance today with the ground. 12/1 ew with 4 places added.
