RSA Chase 2020

One thing that would out me off backing Champ (especially at the price) is the fact he was a second season novice hurdler last year. He may well have just been a bit more mature and experienced than a lot of the others, and therefore would be less likely to show the same sort of improvement as horses such as bright forecast?

You'd think so yeah, but the step up in trip is the making of him IMO, should have gone to the Bartlett like I said last season too :highly_amused:

For the trends guys, he was never going to win the Ballymore aged 7 anyway :devilish::highly_amused:

Same trends for the rsa aged 8
 
Hadn't looked at them tbh KS, but thanks :)
 
Gordy said this morning Samcro will start off in the 2m4 race at Down Royal that Delta Work did (en route to the RSA) could be adding 2 and 2 and making 5 but trainers do like their tried and tested routes......

Added him in the RSA. Have him the JLT but ultimately want him onside.
 
I think there was enough pace from Samcro last season not to step up to 3m just yet, and also the fact they had their excuses (believed or not).

Don't get me wrong, I can easily see him stepping up in trip, I'm just not sure if it will be this coming season though.

They would surely split up Samcro & Battleoverdoyen, either way.

Gigginstown do not always follow the trend of splitting up horses. They often run them in the right races regardless of whether they have another fancied runner.

They'll split their stars up, some of the more average horses will run in a race with others of theirs. Also significant that both horses hail from the same yard, I suspect if one was with Noel Meade or other then I'd probably be inclined to agree a little more with you, but the fact they are both with Elliott means I'd have them 1/50 to be split up should they both make it!

I'll look to back Samcro for the RSA (already have him any race) once he's been declared for a 3miler.
 
Bright Forecast cut with a few firms into 20s today. Contemplating a real money investment after a few free bets in the last week. Shame the remaining 25s isn't with 365
 
Gordy is getting DALLAS DES PICTONS out early this season. He runs at Gowran 5.35pm tomorrow in a 2M2F Beginners Chase.
 
Be interesting to see how NH splits Champ & Dickie Diver up. Wonder if the thought of putting Champ in the 4 miler (or 3m 6f) has occured.

Champ wins the RSA. Fill the wheel barrows.

10/1 best price
Not jumped a fence in public
Could get injured
It's only October

I admire your confidence and 'matter of fact' stance but surely that is a HUGE call to make right now.

He'd be my most confident selection of any horse in any novice race, by a long way.

10/1 NRNB would be fair. 10s all in, isn't a sexy price, but that's the price he is.

I'd rather be backing what I believe to be the winner at 10s. Than try to find an angle around him, with something that I cant believe will beat him but is a bigger price.
 
Wonder if after last year they’d aim both Champ and Dickie Diver at the RSA rather than one going 4 miler? JP isn’t afraid to let his best horses take each other on
