National Hunt Chase (4 miler) 2019

Just noticed that Sky are 12/1 NRNB! Don't go on very often as I have a restricted account.

Got to love these any race markets, looked at Sky's and it has Mister Whitaker at 12s, Discorama at 12s, Wonder Laish at 10s and Pic D'orhy at 10s. All better price than for individual race

As I write this all the prices are being edited. They've twigged lol
 
I've taken plenty and laid it off on the exchanges :highly_amused: Silly 365!

Wouldn't go too crazy

Wouldn't like to risk my account on a 3 pt arb?
 
B365 still have Discorama listed in their to win any race market at 12/1 despite being 6/1 for this
 
I've gone in a couple of times on Discorama, and a toi Phil at 25s that was quickly reduced to 14s..now wondering if that's why I haven't been emailed the bet 365 promotion for Cheltenham.
 
Managed to get my money back on Mortal. Had the bet been placed with Betfair I would have been lucky to get £0.50. Anyway that should be the green light to Gigginstown to now make the correct decision!

The pin has landed on Beyond The Law as the replacement. It looks like he definitely wants soft ground and hopefully a trip. If you take out the runs on quicker ground then he is better than a complete rag. Also races prominently which should mean he keeps out of trouble.

Now McGinty 145
Atlanta Ablaze 143 (W Biddick)
Gun Digger 142 (Lisa O’Neill)

Wouldn't be for me but interesting that Chef des Obeaux is 3rd highest rated in the race. (20/1, O'Hare jocked up (generally rides for Noel Meade)

Very happy with Ok Corral, Ballyward, Discorama and Gun Digger onside with 3 being in the top 4 top OR.

Ballyward slightly edges Ok Corral for me though to come out on top.
Have no doubt the winner will come from the horses at the very top once again

Cheers jono....

Chef Des Obeaux disappointed at the festival last year, I quitely fancied him. I may well add him to be honest at 20/1
 
I put Impulsive star in a couple of L.15's today, Got a bit to do on the ratings , but
this year he's been running well . And Neil Mulholland decent Trainer.

OK corral beat him comfortably earlier this season on his chasing debut. The step up in trip will help IS but enough to overturn that form? I’m not sure.
 
NH Chase – Ballyward, Beyond The Law, Chef des Obeaux, Clondaw Cian, Discorama, Gun Digger, Impulsive Star, Jerrysback, Johanos, Just Your Type, Le Breuil, Mulcahys Hill, Ok Corral, Plantagenet, Skipthecuddles, Warthog, Whisperinthebreeze, Atlanta Ablaze.
 
I wonder if Codd will jump ship and sit on Jerrysback?

Really pleased to see Jerrysback running tomorrow at Cheltenham. Interestingly as of a couple of days ago he was unlikely to run - make of that what you will...

I've added him at 50/1 for this race with bet365.

Jerrysback declared here when all seemed lost. Rated 148. Expect a bold show. If only JP could get Codd to switch from Le Breuil as per Derek O'Connor a few years back

Will stay all day

That's a shame, thought Jerrysback was a good bet for the Ultima, not so sure he'll beat this lot.. got my money back so no lost... but wouldn't back it over this trip...
