RSA Chase 2020

Not sure CS would have much of a chance in this. This race is going to take some winning and CS jumping can be described as careful. They will out jump it, far better in NH as it will have a favourites chance.
 
Not sure about that Cooldaddy think people are judging CS a little too quickly on his jumping. Only one mistake in two runs, needs to be given a chance here in the grade 1 for me.

Not sure anyone’s questioning his ability to get from A to B just think he looks a little ponderous for the RSA. Clearly it’s an option but as others have said think the longer distance is tailor made
 
Yeah i can see him being fine over longer but this is a grade 1 and if he was mine id be trying to win it. His jumping looks fine, ive no big issue, i think that on occasions people are judging novices too harshly when they are learning their trade. Carefully Selected ran to a Top Speed of 123 at the weekend, Im a big fan of Champ (think ive bored you enough about him) but his highest top speed over fences is 109, so im not ready to accept that Carefully Selected wants the extra distance yet. Think he would be absolutely made for the RSA personally.
 
The next race for Carefully selected will be the decider , stepping up in trip .
I didn't see the race on sunday , but reading the reports , he won nicely.
And lofty talk of being a potential gold cup horse. My moneys down on the r.s.a .
but there has been a lot of talk about the n.h,chs being the aim.
 
Have backed Allaho at 20's EW.

Very Good Novice hurdle form for a young horse last year. It seem likely CS will go national hunt chase, so mullins must be lining up a good one for this, and my guess is that this will be the target for Faugheen & Allaho.

I think Allaho has a fair engine, and I was really taken with his chasing debut. Expecting massive improvement of fitness on his next run.
 
Minella Indo is entered into a 3M Beginners Chase at Navan on Saturday. Gives him the option of RSA and NHC at Cheltenham.

Better not consider the NH chase :mad-new:
Not priced up anywhere for that, surely not.
Rachel would be furious.:dejection:

That'll be true of loads of horses, I don't think SW's quote was a quote, I think he's just stating the facts?

No one wants it, including me, I have 22/1 MI for the RSA.

It was an innocent comment, to state the fact that winning or placing in a 3M Chase does allow him to be considered by connections for both.
No offence meant. :encouragement:

I have been having thoughts about City Island here. Did anyone keep the Brassil comments after the race.
Hes only in the RSA and prices range from 21/26 and 41. You cant knock that form last march!

Not sure what the comments were.

The horse just hasn't taken to fences though, has he?

I wouldn't back him at 40/1 for the RSA to be honest.

"real holding ground, best in the spring, drier ground in the spring he'll be fine. I didn't get stuck into him."

What do you mean he’s only in the RSA? Has City Island only been entered in the RSA?
 
Can’t have him at all,just doesn’t seem to enjoy a fence like he did a hurdle,might improve a bit for better ground but at won’t be enough come March for me.
