J.L.T Novices Chase 2019

Looking forward to Lostintranslation going shorter priced fav shortly :)
 
Could easily see those two fighting out the finish at Cheltenham, Vinndiaction disappointing
 
I thought all 3 were a bit 'Messy' at times, decent ride from Barry at the run in.
 
Get in Defi! Knew he could turn the tables with LIT and glad I justified the Vindication bet for profit!
 
BG also saying the ground is dead and its hard to get away from fences. May be a different story come March. It will be a good battle whoever rocks up as there is no standout in this.
 
Vinndication never travelled today, didn’t seem to enjoy the ground and you could see from early on he wasn’t going to win today. I’d put a line through it personally
 
I think he has taken a big step up in class and been found out. Cashed out my JLT bet.

I think he ran well tbh, wasn't beaten far at all. Cheltenham would be a better staying test. I won't be cashing the 33s anyway and see what they say nearer the time

Keeping mine at moment as well. I have him covered for both races so will cash one at some stage.
 
Not writing the horse off at all but I've cashed all bar one 33/1 EW bet on Vinndication. I'll keep the bet on the off chance just to see what comes out over the next few days from connections but I expect i'll be cashing out in full and personally think the chances of him going are dead in the water now.

Think everything had to fall right to get Kim Bailey to be persuaded into going to Cheltenham and then this race. A win, keeping the pace, on good ground would have I think been too much to dismiss them going for this race but we unfortunately had the complete opposite today.

Again, plenty more to come from him, don't think that was his true running but i'd be amazed if Bailey sends him to the festival now
 
I am surprised Bass didn't take Vinndication to the front tbh, that is the normal tactics. Not sure he enjoyed being behind either. I am keeping faith for the time being. Its only 1 defeat.
 
Any one know if Voix Du Reve is OK after his fall?
