JLT Novices 2018

Kemboy has a favourite's chance tomorrow but PP stand out as not being sure whether he goes here or the RSA (or indeed anywhere).
 
I know he runs in a 3m hurdle race tomorrow but have we concluded that Finian's Oscar will not be coming here at all?

I'm sitting on a few bets I can still cash out on but didn't want to act too hastily.

If they were my bets, I'd be cashing them in CoD

I think he wins tomorrow, so therefore ends up in the Stayers. As FM says, if they were mine, i'd cash.
 
The 8/1 available on Willoughby Court after Yanworth turned him over tis looking a solid bit of business now.

Is anyone concerned about the form of the Ben Pauling stable ?

The stable were all given there flu shots in the last few weeks apparently so it's to be expected.

Perhaps trainers should declare when their horses have had the flu jab ��
Would be more informative than the breathing op

Cheers guys. Decided to cash out on the doubles, as he is in plenty of multi's that I'm unable to cash out of so I won't be gutted IF he still runs in this race and wins it.
 
Finians oscar. He dosent stay 3 miles. As you could tell behind bacardys in punchestown.
He's not as good as they thought he was. Just put him in the jlt and see what happens.

Would agree with this, but they'll probably 'avoid' the festival like they did last season, albeit he supposedly had a problem last season.
 
Latest episode in how a farmer ruined a racehorse. I accept that maybe Finian’s doesn’t have the level of talent that everyone thought, but the job of a trainer is surely to maximise the talent of any horse. Finian’s Oscar would be this years JLT winner if trained by Henderson or Mullins, he has enough talent and enough of an engine to be the rightful favourite. Slate House, Vision Des Flos, Sizing Tennessee, all horses that Tizzard doesn’t seem to have a clue about with regard to best trip or path on which to take them
 
Has anyone heard any reports of when the Tizzards have done their flu jabs?
Not for one minute saying that this would be the reason for poor performances this weekend, but it would make a difference if we knew.

Hadn't read this thread before posting it in the stayers, but I agree, 3m he doesn't stay and isn't quick enough for 2m..... not as good as they thought, so JLT the only winnable race I also agree with.... (albeit I wouldn't fancy him either)....

Skip the festival and have a go at Aintree is surely on their minds?

Ahhh, the infamous, yet miraculous 'breathing op' probably means he'll bolt up after that....;)

And I cashed out some of my bets the other day :highly_amused:

It's the obvious choice.... now...
Doesn't stay 3m (or hasn't proven that he can) and this trip seems his best.
I have him "Any Race" from back in September, but if I had him unbacked - he would stay that way. We could well get a run for our money - but just can't see him winning.
