Lordy, I hope KS doesn't go for the Hennessy - for some reason it always seems to bottom the winner: when did a Hennessy winner last go on to do anything significant, esp the same season? Maybe it comes too early in the year and horses have to give their all over 3m before fully race fit... Any theories?

Wouldn't like to see Denman run either, tho I think that might be tempting for connections - it's usually won by a 2nd season chaser isn't it? Presumably he'd be near top weight [assuming KS didn;t run] - but so was Trabolgan wasn't he? - not that he'd have had to carry as much as I presume Denman would
 
Have a feeling Nicholls has lined Mr Pointment up for this. Was given an interesting ride last time at Cheltenham and off 146 he would be competitive at the weights.
 
Trabolgan carried top weight Headstrong, 11st12

An, in what context do you utter the words 'New' and 'Alco' ?!
 
it's a lot isn't it, over 3.2 miles - no wonder a younger horse usually wins!
It's going to be a helluva race if some of those turn up
 
As a handicap, with the full weight range it cannot be afforded a higher grade. As you know, a horse carrying ten stone,and in reciept of masses of weight, as the winner would not usually be worthy of the title grade 2 or grade 1 winner.

How many of the above have been bottomed by running in the Hennessy?
 
:laughing:

Interesting that there have been so few 6 yr old winners historically, yet three of the last four were 6 year olds - and the fourth was a 7 year old
 
As long as New Alco doesnt need it like Aces Four he should have a great chance getting lumps from everything!
 
I'm with Eric. Mossbank looked totally reformed last time. I don't know how much he's gone up in the weights after that but he should be rated under 140 which would give him a very obvious chance.
 
From Sporting Life..

Hills have priced up the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup at Newbury with Denman, who won two novice chases at the Berkshire course prior to his SunAlliance Chase win last season, quoted the clear 9/2 favourite.

Hills spokeswoman Jennie Prest said: "The Hennessy is always one of the betting highlights of the year, with the National Hunt season in full swing it is a handicap the punters always get their teeth into.

"Denman is the class horse in the field and looks a strong favourite, but he is sure to have some good quality opposition line up come the December 1.

"Kauto Star’s entry also adds some spice but Paul Nicholls' two stable stars look certain to take different routes to the Cheltenham Gold Cup in March and he has a ‘doubtful’ tag to his 10/1 quote."

Did anyone else notice what Niall Hannity said in the RP about Aces Four on Monday?! I thought it was tantamount to admitting they were schooling in public, or not far off at least! They are not the most sensible quotes I've ever read at least, especially not the line in bold :

Trainer Ferdy Murphy had been adamant before the Wetherby race that Aces Four would need his first run of the season, so his effort pleased both the trainer and his assistant Niall Hannity, who said yesterday: "We knew that, like all our horses, he would blow up first time out, so Graham did the sensible thing and looked after him.
"Statistics show that Charlie Hall winners win nothing afterwards, so we were more than happy with how he went and also with how he jumped.
"He'll now get an entry for the Betfair Chase, and we'll also put him in the Peterborough Chase on the same day, just in case it comes up heavy at Haydock. After that it will be the King George, which has always been his mid-season target.

C'mon, there's needing a race and needing a race.....

Dear Miss Leader,

I'm slightly confused. Surely comments made by connections about Aces Four should be welcomed by us punters. All they've done (as in the last couple of years with their good horses) is bring them racing slightly undercooked and brought them along steadily so they can peak for the right races. They've been upfront about this policy and haven't been rewarded by the handicapper, so where's the "not off" aspect. Personally I applaud them ~ anyone else share my minority view?
 
I trust that post was made with tongue firmly lodged in cheek, Mr D?! :D

"slightly undercooked" - liked that one!!!!!

I agree.
 
I was being perfectly serious ~ if anyone can pinpoint the subterfuge* I'd be very grateful.



* perhaps Niall Hannity was giving the Scoop6 a go and wanted to narrow down his perm?
