National Hunt Chase (4 miler) 2019

I cashed out Ballyward 33/1 after he hung right on chase debut. Wasn't taken by him physically either. Not my best decision.

we all make decisions like that pal
 
Great to hear.

Ok Corral 153
Ballyward 152

Think it's very unlikely there will be another runner come into the race with a higher rating, with only really one of the RSA types coming over that could beat it.

And we know just how strong the highest OR horses rank in this race. Literally the best horse almost always come to the fore

I'm looking no further than those two Jono. Ok Corral takes the world of beating imo but Ballyward is a worthy rival.
 
If you rate Ballyward impossible not to include Discorama in too
 
That’s the key question Q.... if it’s Codd can get very excited! Doubt it will be but can dream...
 
Nolan said before the weekend he didn't see him in graded races and with his new mark (which will inevitably be over 145) his options will be limited.

Ultima, RSA or NH Chase. If he doesn't see him as a graded horse then it'll be handicaps.
 
Wylie should make WPM pay the bill of they do.:devilish:

He has little chance in this season's RSA so they probably will go down the 4m route anyway.

Do you know how much the supplementry entry is F.M ??. Wouldn't have thought it would bother G. wylie ??.
BUT .... I really want Ballyward in the four miler , so just wondering .

Ballyward has got an entry in this, I think it was his only entry

£8.5k. A drop in the ocean to GW.
 
Is Ok Corral still in the entries for the Sciliy Isles?

A good run there will annoy me, I think?

They already have horses for the JLT though don't they?

Can you did up last years research you did on that jono... worth reading again in regards to Highest Rated.
 
What on this earth, is Any Second Now doing at 4th favourite in this list? 16/1

I backed him over Christmas, when 5th and granted, I thought the step up in trip and combination of blinkers would be the making of him.

It wasn't - he ran 'well', but has absolutely no right in this market does he?! (Other than wearing the correct silks!)
 
Is Will Biddick going to be on Ibis Du Rheu or Mr Whipped?
