National Hunt Chase (4 miler) 2019

I won't be falling into the trap of getting him onside again this year FM anyway! Not after my unwarranted confidence going into the Coral Cup last year. He's definitly talented but he not hardy enough & lacks real guts in the finish of his races! What makes connections think this race is suitable is beyond me.

Cue him hacking up next Tuesday...

I had far too much on him in the coral cup last season as well Sean. Hasn't been tried at 3m yet and weak in a finish. I can't see how they think 4 miles will suit either.
 
The problem with knocking Singlefarmpayment is that the peopel that back him will make money when he places.... and it's really hard to knock him out the frame.

Win only... absolute horror bet... 3 from 23?
 
I like Le Breuil for the Ultima but doesn't have any chance in this Imo.
 
So confused - why is Le Breuil being backed in the 4m ? What the hell has happpened in the last few hours. Jacob said it was one of his better hcap's ? Ultima is drifting?
 
Kev,
This race is falling apart for me. everything I fancy goes elsewhere??
I keep coming back to singlefarmpayment.
:confused:
 
Singlefarmpayment can't run in this race?!?
 
l I don't feel as stupid now..... Codd has had the ride snatched from under him it sounds like!

Champagne Classic ruled out :(
 
Putting 2 and 2 together.


Codd yesterday was riding Champagne Classic...

This morning he's gotten injured


Codd/Agenct have found ANY horse to ride... and it's Le Breuil


No way I'm backing Le Breuil here, can't have it as his optimum, regarldess of the jockey.

I agree Kev.

Le Breuil is not backable in this race IMO.
 
I went proper ante post on le breuil - then he was tipped up all week even by the jockey! Very strange no ?? I will prob have to back it at 10/1 or something still but i cant see it getting 4miles....no way. The horse is fresh at least you could argue
 
Do we think Mortal has any chance of being re-routed here? It’s the race that best suits him in my opinion. Not that I know any more than O’Leary!
 
The National Hunt Chase jockey bookings can prove key and leading Irish amateur Jamie Codd is on the Ben Pauling-trained Le Breuil, who yesterday was backed into 12-1 (from 40) with bet365.

Gina Andrews is aboard Now McGinty for Stuart Edmunds, the Kim Muir-winning team of 2017 with Domesday Book, and Will Biddick is booked for the extremely progressive Atlanta Ablaze, whose chase mark is up to 143 from 110 in August.

I can't have Le Breuil running in this race, its madness. Until I see it in black&white I'm a non-believer.
