Cross Country Chase 2019

[Kevloaf]

Iv backed him at 12s. as much as a token bet as anything as iv backed him every year At big prices.

Can't be backing these shorties in races like this personally.

As Albert Einstein famously said.... The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Especially at 12/1.


When Auvergnat was running clear today, my first thought wasn't the Cross Country, it was that he may be a better handicap chaser than I've ever considered before. Too late now of course

Transformed at home in head gear according to enda bolger. Was lazy during in his races.

I'd far rather back him at 12s than tiger roll at 3/1

Anyone think pleasant company could come here ?

"He travelled so sweet. Last week we put blinkers on him because he ran in a couple of hurdle races and ran terrible lazy.

“He was on fire everywhere today. Even though Donie (McInerney) lost his whip on the run-in he didn't need it.

Anyone views on Don Poli?

Has a good festival record, right trainer and race changing more to National prep for some

On ratings if still in good shape, then would have BIG chance....albeit new to discipline

I think the opposite. Being nimble and having a turn of foot is very helpful in this race.

Ballycasey @ 20/1 the one to cover TR with.

Same I was impressed with his schooling round before Xmas giving away weight.

Has Ucello Conti been mentioned for this by GE? I can't remember.

No mention of him running here at all though?

Don Poli had a sighter over the national fences, if he runs again it'll be soft ground at best and he'll be protecting our trying to lower his mark.

Won't won whatever race he runs in next and he's nothing like Tiger Roll as a horse (bar the owners and good course record)

Ucello conti entered for p2p on Sunday fm
So perhaps foxhunters
Requested a price on this from pp,8/1 boo hoo

DP has RPRs c.166 and good festival form.....and betting fairly short suggests poss run

TR best ratings are 160.....and obviously i'm all in on the Tiger as backed him on all his big races.....incl 40-1 for National (pre festival price)

Will take good horse to beat Tiger..... and this race may see for left-field entries....just think given its Elliott DP might be an interesting small stake bet, with a run

I see he's 10/1 NRNB so you might as well take that.

I don't think Don Poli is the right klind of horse for the Cross Country myself. I absolutely love Don Poli though... love love love.

Ucello Conti won his point today by 2.5L.

Prep for the National?

Always ask any race on ones like that. I got shantou flyer and stand up and fight both to slip through at 33s

 

[Outlaw]

Don Poli surely not nimble enough with the constant need to turn,twist and everything else that comes in this race. Would be a big surprise to me if he was.

He won't run in this.

 

[boopa]

If he does run it will be a pipe opener for the National.
