Marsh Novices Chase 2020 (was JLT)

Have gone in on Windsor Avenue for this at 50s. Scopes dirty after his last run so you can ignore that run entirely. On past form he’s no 50-1 shot and looks very over priced

Agree. Dipped in again. Keen he runs on Sat. IF he wins, and I certainly think he has a chance, he’ll be cut hard, and it confirms his destination and confounds the RSA idea to the dustbin.

If he goes close, i’m still happy as the extra furlong and hill at Cheltenham would only play to him.
 
50/1 gone on Windsor Avenue - it’s down to 33/1
 
Money would suggest a big run is expected from Caribbean Boy at Donny tomorrow. Collateral French form with the likes of Master Dino looks useful and perhaps connections are owed one? 33s for this, 25s any race looks potentially big, so taken a chance.

One ill try and catch tomorrow and back if he's long like winning well at the last

Good spotting MS. Sounede & Munir like to target this race and haven’t had much to aim at it this year so this maybe the one to spring a surprise.

Doesn't look good enough for the festival does he.

Drifted quite a lot too, out to bigger than he opened.


Out of the tracker he goes :)

It was strange betting patterns as he was hammered the night before and then drifted like a barge on the day. Perhaps he wasn’t suited by the ground and they didn’t want to bottom him first time up as he travelled well and was not particularly given a hard time IMO. Agree, he doesn’t look good enough for this but if they can get another run into him beforehand, he could still be interesting for one of the handicaps? Glad I backed him any race anyhow.
 
Any Fat Jockey has a update on Reserve Tank please , early season fancy but seems to struggle in the soft.
 
Be interesting to see what Sam Brown does tomorrow at Haydock.

Very impressive last time. 4 from 5 but fragile. 5 runs aged 8 isn’t ideal.

If Windsor Avenue wins comfortably, what then to his chances and price?
 
I’m hoping everything is ok with Windsor Avenue after his last run. Dirty scope was all that was mentioned.

If he wins tomorrow not sure how much of a cut there will be as doesn’t look a very deep race.

Sam Brown looked good on return but as MoM says very fragile horse.

Windsor Avenue is the sort of horse that will always be a slightly generous price. Really hope for trainer that he runs his race today and goes to the festival with a live chance, and ive backed him any race, so basically talking through my pocket. Although I do think that he will get overlooked coz all his form is at Northern tracks. There maybe merit in downgrading is form somewhat (although on the evidence ive seen i wouldnt be in a rush to) coz of the class of horse that hes running against but doesnt mean that he cant be top class still and he did look very good prior to Doncaster where it does sound like he had legitimate excuse.
 
Been in the Windsor Avenue camp for months now so really hoping for a good run today to put himself back in the picture
 
for all that it was a beginners chase at sedgefield Windsor Avenue has just put in a splendid round of jumping and could be one which will go through the season a little under the radar, a very nice introduction.

put this horse up in October and his last run can easily be forgiven. Would expect him to win this today and then all roads lead to this race. On at 50s and took some 33s with cashout also

*cashed the 33s and will probably just have a little on him on the day if he goes here still.

Had football today so catching up.

Managed to cash WA for cash back as had backed at 50/1.

Just don’t think he’ll be good enough.
 
Due to it being this distance i'll stick in here. Allaho entered over 2m5 in a beginners.

+ 3miles at Naas
