Foxhunters 2019

Chosen Dream got a mention on here at some point? Anyone who watched today’s race have any thoughts on his run? I missed it so any help
 
I don't know the answer to that was just writing the ones I know are targeted here and to my knowledge are sound. And working out how I'd price It on form alone.

Nicholls replied to someone on Twitter that Caid Du Berlais is being aimed here a few weeks back even though the horse isn't 'officially' with him.

Shantou Flyer running tomorrow with Rhinestone Cowboy number 2 onboard.... even money against a very competitive field - no thanks
 
News to me ;)

Haha.

Assume the 1st is dunsdon.

I wouldn't knock him at all if he dosent win tomorrow. Won't be the jockeys fault. Long lay off and competative race.
Would be a big suprise to me if he hacks up here.
Needs a place.
 
Correct! Dunsdon is a complete joke.

Fancy quite a few against him so keeping it simple and laying him against the field
 
Winner has done that very impressively today, Shantou Flyer looked like he needed the run but nothing to worry Stand up and Fight either way
 
Absolutely delighted for the Rowley's they pre-train our Million in mind horses, great people and they go to Chelt with a live chance.
 
Stand up and Fight shortened today across the board.
Any reason why ?
 
was the only thing I could think of, but seem's a bit drastic.

Yeah, thought the same, especially as Ucello Conti was only trimmed in a few places and he did win yesterday without his price being touched
 
I keep getting drawn into backing Stand Up and Fight in a double with anything I fancy.... Dereck O’Connor supposedly said it’s the best hunter he’s ever sat on and the way he won at Down Royal was mighty impressive..... In a way I’m concerned why he’s still 6-1 as I would have him a lot shorter.

I just think he has been far too big for a while..... I’ve been building a pretty big position on him for a good while and suspect quite a few others have been too. The only other this could be that Dereck has told the trainers who he is going to ride so they can seek alternative arrangements and that’s got out in the yards and they’ve jumped on too.
 
If that is the case it’s a big over reaction to a 7-1 shot running below par....
