J.L.T Novices Chase 2019

Hasn't he said about him having speed?

Or was that the same quote?


I wouldn't fancy him in it anyway was outpaced in some runs.

JLT may have a strong fav tomorrow

He meant to say people see him as a 3 miler but I see him more as a 2 1/2.

But he accidentally said 2 1/2 and 2.

Ah okay.

Fair enough. He's absolutely right haha

The danger is that personally apart from defi. I couldn't be sure that whatever won would stay over 2 1/2. I think tizzard horse would in any other yard but he's unpredictable, and black op I really don't know.

Bookies look like they don't know what to make of tomorrow, I'd have DEfi Fav I think, but they can't make their mind up between the four
 
OTBS ran an awful race at Aintree last. Can anyone refresh my memory, were there excuses?

Had a setback, missed chelt and wasn't ready according to hendo but wanted to get him out.
From memory he also made a bad mistake.

I personally think defi wants it very soft / heavy and won't reproduce that run on the ground tomorrow.
However i could deffinately be well wrong.

as it's 2m 4f I don't think the ground would be an issue in terms of an excuse IMO
But it needs to jump a lot better.
I'm going to watch Lost in translation and crucial role races again and may back who I think is the best jumper of those two, at back of my head is LIT has made just one or two bad jumps but other than that he's ok.
So I'll be reviewing.
 
Black Op has the most to prove tomorrow. He is the worst price tomorrow but could clearly improve and be a worthy winner.

I can't see an angle for a bet tomorrow
 
I’m hoping for a big run from Lostintranslation. La Bague Au Roi has proved his form to be rather decent in hindsight. A good clear round and then no excuses whatever the result is.

Your luck has changed so that's a few lbs off his back :highly_amused:
 
I think it's a no brainer to back On The Blind Side before the race tomorrow at 20/1 with 365. (which I have - 2pts)
For Henderson to pitch him in first time out at the track speaks volumes for me. (something he's usually very reluctant to do) He's had other opportunities recently (including Haydock just gone) so for him to do with the field as it is is a decent indicator of the level he's held in. I imagine there's also a case for them maybe wanting to see how he reacts to the track after shin issues last season after winning here but i'd be surprised if the price is pushed out much even if he does flop such is the field he is facing.

A fantastic race instore though for sure - I'd probably be siding with Lostintranslation if I had to bet in the race purely with him being the biggest price. I think Defi du Seuil won a race that on paper looked stronger than it was and ended up a fortunate winner. Topofthegame would have won without being 20 lengths behind at the start and Black Op first time out was always a risky bet. I'd expect Black Op to improve for the run, On The Blind Side could be anything but at a bigger price and with LBAR boosting the form since - a mistake free round could see him win this.

Would very much weigh in behind this. I've added 1pt ew on OTBS, was very promising prior to being ruled out of Cheltenham and it seems there were valid enough reasons for his last effort.

I've also topped up 0.5pt ew on LIT here to a 1pt win Any Race. If he can iron out his errors he's shown some very decent efforts to date, and I'd be confident this is the target.
 
On The Blind Side (Nico de Boinville)
It’s been quite a long road back as he had a few niggly problems around this time last year which meant we missed the Challow Hurdle and we probably rushed him back a little bit for Aintree, but he’s turned a corner now and is showing plenty of sparkle at home. Obviously, it’s a tough ask to win around Cheltenham on his first start over fences, and this looks a good race, but his schooling has been excellent and he’ll love the good to soft ground. Whatever he does here I think he’ll improve upon but it’s good to get him out and we’ll have a much better idea about where his future lies after this.
 
Hugely interesting.
Master dino has an entry over here.
I'd love to know if hes coming back for chelt.

Plumpton bonus race too.
