RSA Chase 2019

It’s a shot in the dark that I wouldn’t be willing to take personally in such a strong market! But if you have the cash to tie up knock yourself out :highly_amused:

Personally I’ve topped up on the JLT, RSA winner comes from Santini, Topofthegame & Delta Work!

If you didn't have a huge tattoo on your back of Topofthegame, you might like him :p


To be fair, if you strongly fancy a horse in the JLT, you can't say he'd have no chance in an RSA (I know you aren't saying that).

It's a bit like Monalee last year - I know where I'd prefer him!

I’d like to think I learned my lesson on blindly fancying horse for a particular race without previous form over the distance from Monalee & Supasundae last season. Hence my position on Monalee for the Ryanair. You have to learn from your near misses in the past & use them to your advantage in future in this game.

Did you strongly fancy Monalee in the RSA?

The frustrating thing with Monalee, is that HdB now seems to know what 'we' all knew last year, he'd be better over shorter!

I did & I wrongly disregarded Presenting Percy on the basis he didn’t have the class for the RSA! You need to probably have the stamina to stay 3 1/2 miles on an ordinary track to stay 3m round Cheltenham in hindsight!

I fell into exactly the trap SR. I thought Monalee would have too much class for PP, what a foolish idea that was. Ryanair should be perfect, although I'm not sure his boat hasn't sailed?? I'll still back him......probably.

Same. Big Monalee fan, and he ran great, Percy just ran better.

I was there with my wife on the Wednesday and after the race she said "I didn't understand your reaction"

Apparently as PP loomed up on MOnalee I was like "Oh no", which rapidly turned into "Oh wow!" when he put on a show
 
Has anyone heard anything about Antey. He's one I had earmarked for staying chases this season, Shady Operator has franked his hurdle form but I haven't seen any entries for him yet.
 
Glenloe & Champagne Classic entered up on Saturday @ Navan over 3m.

Getting towards that handicap mark for Glenloe hopefully.

Wouldn't like to guess what CC is going to do
 
Lost in transaltion only in JLT
 
jerrysback just RSA and 4 miler
 
Mullins horses - Cocquin Mans and Redhotfillypeppers! Never thought I'd see the day. Ruby will be ringing Nicholls for a spare ride I reckon!

With this sort of fire power I wouldn't be in a rush to take Willie to be top trainer at 2/1

Yep. I said other week it looked like he had no staying novice chasers.
Tony Keenan mentioned in his article this week that it may be a knock on effect of losing gigginstown horse three or so years back
That's all they buy really, and he don't get any of them now.
 
Chris's dream / champagne classic could well be worth a watch today with this race in mind. The former made what I personally thought was a nice debut. The latter something to prove, but impressive if He could take this 1st time up.

CHAMPAGNE CLASSIC - thought it was going to be a minefield looking to see if anyone has mentioned this or had it in thier Radar! 2017 Cheltenham and Punchestown festival form over hurdles was Outstanding, winning at both!. Goes Chasing today around 7/1, maybe too much too ask as hasnt raced since thst Punchestown in 2017, but some of the horses it beat that day, Penhill, Presenting Percy, ABP, and Monalee!!

Would this be its target?

Definately one to watch today!
 
I wouldn’t expect to much today but if he retains all his ability or even improves for a fence it’ll take a good one to beat him in March wherever he goes ?
