National Hunt Chase (4 miler) 2019

Already have at 36's on betfair but topped up 25/1 with Coral on Discorama
 
Surprised to see Mullins reference the RSA at all post race - potentially looking to divert attention away from the 4miler. Can’t see him going anywhere but here given the way he went through the line today. Cracking race in prospect vs Ok corral
 
Yep, I was very surprised he was still 33s.... imagine they book Codd!!

Codds aligned with Gordon.
There's plenty of decent amateurs now. It's something that's overplayed imo.

Lisa oneil
Barry oneil
codd
O Connor
Patrick mullins
Will biddick
Deegan
Waley cohen

There all as good as each other. I couldn't care less personally which one of the above would be on one iv backed. I'd just be hoping its one of them.

Discorama the one to take out of the race? Outpaced early and ridden a long way from home but finished best of all and who knows how close he would have got to Ballyward.

Still 33s in places and as low as 10s elsewhere.... worth a few quid ew as long as the fall doesn’t leave a mark.

Looks a good bet to me. With the obvious target risk
 
Don’t know why I didn’t pull the trigger on ballyward before today
Considered it a few times
All in on ok corral,will have to stick with that now
If I was on ballyward at big prices and the 4m is the target I would of preferred Patrick to ride him today
I know he can school him at home but he would of learned more in a proper race

O'Connor / Mullins / Codd
are better than the others.

Lisa O'Neill and Barry O'Neill aren't as good, Sam Waley-Cohen isn't as good as either - Biddick perhaps is getting closer.

Any of them could win it, but the big 3, are a big 3
 
Totally agreeKev... they also get to pick their horse from big yards. I can’t see Ballyward anywhere but here otherwise patrick has to ride for someone else.
Dereck won’t desert SUAF I wouldn’t think. Codd who knows....

Barry oneil the champion point to point rider isn't as good. ?
 
...Discorama into 14-1 from 33-1 overnight with BetFred.
 
Im a little concerned with the Mullins talk of RSA for Ballyward??? The worry is that Mullins has nothing in the RSA.
I don't need another Elegant Escape happening in this race. It would be a killer as I've been sweet on this horse putting him up here some time ago. Fingers crossed that its not another 4miler stitch-up.

I was initially worried but less so now. Whereas MOL or JPM would tell Willie where to send him, Graham Wylie does not really interfere with what the Mullins team does. Given Ballyward was their only entry for this you would have to think this was the plan all along and Patrick will no doubt take the ride and try and emulate what he did last year. The combination of all these things all point towards the 4 miler IMO. If they switch it up il be as gutted as you

I think you're probably right Charlie. Just me being a tad negative. Wouldn't want for a better jockey than Patrick for this race Imo.
 
Had 33's about Ballyward, as per page 3 of this thread, then Folski ruined any hope because of his age :devilish:

Glad he has come back into the reckoning, as before OK Corral & Kilbricken Storm :highly_amused:, Ballyward was my first hope.

Nice one COD. You were a bit earlier than me sorting your lists out.
I've 33s,25s,20s.
Ive also got Discorama any race 25s,22s. Was hoping he'd end up down the handicap route????
Not interested in any other bet in this race yet.

Some nice prices you got too Doctorwu :)

Fingers crossed he makes it and runs well. OK Corral is still my biggest winner now though, but either of them would do tbh.
 
COD,
Last seasons AB is that your chosen 1st port of call?

It wouldn't normally be, but given the conditions of last seasons festival I had the true stayer's for a race like this going close in the AB, and it at least looks like 2 of them, OK Corral & Ballyward may well end up here. Santini certainly would have been on the list too, but the early money for him was all RSA and that was decision made IMO for that one.
