RSA Chase 2019

Tomorrow will be a big work day for Seven Barrows at Kempton and the following will be galloping:

Adjali
Apple’s Shakira
Countister
Champ
Daphne Du Clos
River Wylde
Theinval
Altior
Might Bite
Top Notch
Ok Corral
Call Me Lord

Would of liked to have seen Santini working tomorrow, having a very pessimistic day!
 
Tizzard Mister Malarky

“He has been a revelation over fences. He is now rated 148 and he is good enough to run in an RSA.

“Robbie Power thought he was flat out at Ascot, but the times were fast. It was good ground there, but hopefully the ground won’t be as quick as that at Cheltenham. He does jump very well, and he is a thorough stayer.

“At the Cheltenham Festival, all the big Irish amateur jockeys will be riding for Ireland (in the National Hunt Chase). They are like ‘professional amateurs’ – whereas in England, they are definitely amateurs.

“We had the same conversation when Native River was going to Cheltenham as a novice. We thought he was a slow and had to go in the four-miler.

“Native River has gone on to win a Gold Cup, so the four-miler is not an easier race. I think some very good horses will run in the four-miler, that will be good three-milers next year.
 
...Tizzard favouring this for Mister Malarky.

Curtis says Drovers Lane 90% to run here.

Race could really cut up with the front 3 looking so solid


Drovers Lane 33/1
Mister Malarky 33/1 (surprised that hasn't been clipped more now the target is confirmed, albeit flattered to have the Reynoldstown on the CV)


They may well be 4th and 5th favourites? Chris's Dream probably 4th fav tbf, but still?
 
Rumours Santini had a minor set back last week, no idea if true
 
Rumours Santini had a minor set back last week, no idea if true

not due the racecourse gallop either.
got to be a concern
looks obvious things aren't 100%
 
Minor setbacks can be overcome 3 weeks before the race, time to recover and get full work in
 
....bit of a left field one, but looking at Skelton’s Crucial Role in this. A massive nrnb price, so a bet to nothing if it doesn’t turn up. The race could well cut up.

Wont cut-up enough for that thing to win Eggs.
 
No wild drift on the exchanges to suggest anything’s up
 
He supposedly was lame last week with a sore foot and missed two days work.
 
Not a penny to lay on the exchange for all of the conspiracy theorists. :sorrow:
