Marsh Novices Chase 2020 (was JLT)

Surprised Fakir has been backed into Favourite.... not because I don't understand the form chance and the weights, but because Samcro is Samcro.

Think Ronald Pump maybe value bet.....ahead on ratings of Samcro on first run and not that far behind FD

Always hard to assess form after a run and run vs Melon may turn out to be form of season, or not.....but at odds small punt on RP for me.....tho love to see Samcro become a star
 
I’m a layer of Samcro if anyone wants a piece on the machine! Hedged slightly for Chelt should he win
 
With Samcro @ 16/1 for this and Fakir 25/1 for the Arkle I’d love nothing more than see Samcro win today. May have to cover Fakir for JLT just in case
 
Fully expect samcro to win today, and think he will.
but wouldnt be too disappointed with a very close 2nd taking into account the 8 pounds.
 
What do people make of the elliot quotes re samcro always being on a nebuliser?

Reading it has been used it the past for chronic bleeders

Gordy must have a contact with someone on the Sky cycling team. Aul Samcro could be a wildcard for the Tour De France next July
 
Annoying that I backed him today. But I dont think anyone would doubt hed have won that, and won it well.
 
Jumping was awesome and put samcro under pressure.
Looks a machine the winner
 
samcro looked fine until he fell
 
Obviously happy Fakir won but not nice to see Samcro fall. At the end of the day it doesn't matter how much you cruise if you don't jump the fences you don't win. Fakir was much slicker all the way around. I am happy with my Fakir Arkle and Samcro JLT bets
 
Thought Samcro looked the winner, and still more than happy to continue chipping into him

Only down side was I had him in a treble with EA rolling on to DDS for the Ryanair

Yep, i'd say they both look good - hope he's alright
 
Fakir’s jumping was outstanding but Samcro loomed up impressively. What a shame indeed. Fakir back to the Arkle and doubled with Samcro in the JLT?
