Handicap Shortlist - Cheltenham 2020

[DenmanSacre]

Bad news for me who backed him to win any race back in Dec at a healthy price :dejection:

A right old balls up - can’t fathom why he’s not entered in Ultima & Brown and NHC either as back up to this happening

Poor planning by Frank Berry

Yes.
A cheltenham winner who's denied a return.
fucking amateurs.

Interesting stat IMO.

Ten handicaps. Last year only 3 of the winners had a race-card number higher than 5.

Sempo 142 - very interesting

Gutted they didn't enter him for the Pipe as I'd eyed that one up from a while back.

Delighted with the rating of Sempo. They have to go for the Coral Cup off that mark.

Think the EBF Final may be the plan.

Think the EBF Final may be the plan.

Yes Nicholls seemed keen on name-checking that race, when talking about McFab recently.

Anyone got a strong view where Milan Native will end up running?

 

[Eggs]

...a few interviews on Sporting Life website this morning. Dave Ord asked the lead handicappers where they think the cut-off might be for each handicap;

Ultima - possibly 142
Plate - 140 should get in.
Northern Trust - 140 will ensure it gets in.
Kim Muir - 135 and above.
Coral - 137 to get in.
Boodles - 130
Pertemps - 135
County - 132
Pipe - 135
Grand Annual - 138 to 140.

He's entered in the Leinster National, so possible nowhere at all.

hahha thats interesting - close in some way off in others. In reality the handicappers wont know anymore regarding who goes where than we do so it's just an educated guess. I am keeping both fingers crossed for the conditional sneaking into the Ultima off 139!
