Wouldn't count her out. She's an exceptional jumper, Cheltenham will suit, tendancy to jump a little left handed today and the jockey would probably have pushed a little harder earlier if he could run it again as she stayed on really well when headed. I wouldn't rule her out yet. 40's is still very fair based on that.

I’d be cashing out after that myself. Way below what will be required. The mares chase will be more her level on the back of that.

Bit premature to be cashing now and absolutely no need to. Kettle was beaten similarly into 2nd on her way to Arkle victory so all to play for.

Would have to be a really weak Arkle for her to feature imo. Think she’ll go down the mares route after today.
50s at hills lobos if you fancy a top up!

My thoughts too. Did nothing wrong, went close in first run at this level and HDB has a knack of bringing out plenty of improvement. I was actually quite pleased with how it went and think that she will kick on as the season progresses.

She ran really well Lobos.
I was impressed.

Yeah saw he was 50's. Happy to stick with what I've got ATM. Kettle won a weak looking Arkle so you never know. We've still not heard anything re Appreciate It and why he missed Punchestown. If he were to miss the Arkle it would open the race right up.

Agreed, I was trying to find odds for the Mares Chase for GoL before her race at Galway but she wasn’t involved in the Bet 365 market and the other book makers a rushed through. She wasn’t disgraced at Galway, it was a close race and it’s more racing experience for her which can only be a good thing as long as she doesn’t experience too many tough races in a short space of time so a few races in the summer will help her a long.

She looks primed for the Mares Chase to me.

Lots of experience to basically do her Novice season in the summer, then plot a couple of runs in the main season to end up in the Mares Chase.

Thats the distance she has been running over most of the time, and she was coming back at the finish over 2M2F, like she wanted the 2M4F trip.

She had two Chase runs pre-Christmas last season then missed the Festivals, I presume she got an injury that put her out.That may be why they’re making up for lost time now, with 6 chases in total now.

Galway is a tricky track to race on too so it wasn’t like it was a flat track schooling, the undulating lay out can catch many jumps horses out. Looking at the current market for the Mares Chase many of the top 10 already look pretty exposed too. I expect Elimay to be favourite but there’s not much strength in depth behind her unless any experienced Mares from France are bought and brought over before next March. I’ll be backing Elimay & Gin on Lime over the next few months in the hope the Mares Chase is their expected target.

I have backed Gin on Lime for the Arkle and TWAR. I got 14s TWAR which I thought was a worthy 2pt sacrifice over taking 16s for the Mares Chase.

 

[Spectre]

I backed Gin On Lime at 20/1 for the Mares Chase with cashout, and I've just checked and she's the still the same price. I can't see her going anywhere else.

 

[Eggs]

…Elle Este Belle, Honeysuckle & PTKO to win a/r @ 200-1 might offer a bit of value with Sky given they are 6-1, 7/4 & 7-1 in their a/r market.

Easy decision with her. If she goes for the Arkle trial at Cheltenham in November then jump on the 40's . Kettle was also campaigned mainly over 2 1/2 during the Summer but ended up the 2 Mile Queen. Being able to stay 2 1/2 and jump for fun at a good pace worked out perfectly around Cheltenham's undulating stiff track for Kettle and I get the feeling GOL will be suited to Prestbury just the same. The Mares Chase could of course be a nice alternative should she fall short .

Already in my Diary :encouragement:

I doubt she will be going to the Arkle without the trip to the Cheltenham Arkle Trial.

It could be easier getting 7lbs from the boys as opposed to mixing it at level weight with Elimay in the Mares Chase. Before that it'll be interesting if she goes to Wexford/Tipperary like Kettle or if Henry sends anything else to those races. Whatever happens we need to find his Arkle horse as much as Mullins and Henderson's representatives. He's got an incredible record with his 2 mile chasers.

He is the Irish 2M Chase King, and Hendo is the 2M Chase King for GB.

I think if Henry wants to have a crack at the Arkle with Gin on Lime, he will be over to Gloucestershire for the Trial race in November.

She does look a good chaser, and had 2 chases Autumn, so he has 6 runs under her belt.

I am wondering if thats to have a crack at the more experienced opposition in the Mares Chase.

We should know when the entries come out for the November meeting.

Looking forward to it.
