RSA Chase 2018

I'd be hoping Barcadys runs here.

Well fancied at Cheltenham last year before interference in the race cost him all chance. And the defeat of Finians Oscar is top form.

Promised myself after the stress of Mullins bingo last year I wouldn't partake again....Thus far I haven't! :highly_amused:

Just take the stress out of it and back Bacardys in the Any Race market. You lose very little in terms of price.

Its a fair point.

Quoted 16-1 for JLT and RSA. 20-1 for the 4 miler.

I probably look at the any race price of 10-1 the wrong way. I guess i should take the view that 10-1 will be too big in the race Bacardys lines up. So it is value?

Rather than the view that , I'm taking a price a minimum of 6pts below what is on offer in a selected race.
 
Far too early to be more than tentative but I think they'd hope that Bacardys would be a Gold Cup horse in 2019. If that's still the case in March I'd expect them to go for the JLT.

I don't think he's worth the risk backing for a particular race at this stage. He could easy be another Black Hercules and turn up in the race we least expect. I'd just put a bigger bet on the any race price of 10/1.....but that's just my opinion.
 
Which Race for Wholestone this season? I was impressed with his Albert Bartlett run tried to switch last few strides of the race just couldn't get there. Id be interested which race he goes to.

I have Wholestone covered for this race - reports suggest that he'll be tried chasing early season and then they'll go from there as to whether they revert to hurdles or not, but I want him onside given his scope for fences and his Cheltenham record

He's entered over hurdles on Saturday in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow. If he runs and wins this weekend, he could end up in the Stayers hurdle.

Yeah I got that slightly wrong - Twiston-Davies said he'll start off in hurdles but likely to be directed at chasing thereafter. Would probably have an interest if he did go Stayers hurdle, will definitely be having an interest this weekend the form Nige is in!
 
The wait will soon be over , been waiting for Presenting Percy to be sent over fences.

He loves Cheltenham and was trained for one race last year and obliged connections for a well thought out plan.

Fine stamp of a horse and i expect him to make a better chaser.

Like has been said I do think there's a strong chance they target a festival handicap with him and replicate Mall Dini's season last year (as they did for the pair over hurdles) but I do hope they aim higher with the horse. 33/1 is definately underestimating him.

I could also see the 4 miler coming into play myself
 
I am so tempted to have a stab at Presenting Percy in this race at the 33s.... but Kim Muir, Ultima, RSA and NH chase are all such viable options, as well as an unsuccesful chase debut and tilt at the world hurdle...... I wonder if anyone will give 20s any race :highly_amused:
 
HdB on Monalee - "We’re aiming him at a beginners chase in late October or early November. We might start him off over two-and-a-half miles and potentially move up in trip later on. He won his point-to-point and has always looked like a chaser in the making, so he’s obviously one we are really looking forward to."

Monalee is my main Ante-post bet for this race, so much potential and I think all being well will be quite a short price during morning of RSA.
 
Elliott has come out and said Death Duty will run this week. The race is over 2miles2

Not quite big enough to tempt me at this stage....

Seems a little under the radar and I do like HdB quite a lot. (Cliche I know....he does improve horses for a fence.) I'd worry Death Duty has him outclassed on hurdles form over any trip BUT he may just take to it better..... price not quite big enough to get me yet though!

Less likely to go here with a polished performance?
 
Another solid round of jumping from Death Duty there, still think this is well within his grasp, possibly too short a trip today but done it well.
