Novice Chasers 2015/16

[Bonjers]

Minella Rocco is a hound.

He's the sort of JP mutt that will turn it round on a flat track when only the lads know and he's 16s+

JP definitely has horses with that kind of profile, but you would have landed in the poor-house waiting on Tap Night going in (and even then, he only went in at 11/2).

Just ask Digger! :lol:

William Hill Trophy at the Festival. He'll be seriosuly well handicapped. It'll be interesting to see what mark the handicapper gives him. Probably his hurdles mark and then another poor run to get him down to 140ish. Hood on and job done.

The Black Hercules formline received a good boost with Sambremont winning by 16 lengths today at Fairyhouse from a decent Tony Martin horse. Black Hercules beat Sambremont by 12 lengths two weeks ago at Navan.

After Navan, Willie said Black Hercules was an RSA contender but I'd imagine Patrick would love him in the 4 miler.

 

[archie]

Patrick wants Pont Alexandre for the 4 miler but he'd probably settle for BH.

 

[granger]

The winner today will go down the 4 mile route

Looking forward to seeing what Kitten Rock bring to the table tomorrow

Do you think he'll turn over Shaneshill?

He had plenty of condition fto and had done no quick work

Form of that race hasn't worked out but he has to have a good chance here

That's a maybe then?

 

[granger]

His trainer has one day in mind and that's how he trains them

Press comments indicate they were going to take on Douvan last week so they must think somewhat highly of him

 

[Frankel]

Will be interesting to see how it pans out tomorrow.

Wise move avoiding Douvan.

 

[granger]

They said he had a few niggles but my theory is that he will need further than 2m

 

[Frankel]

Will be interesting. I'm in the Shaneshill camp tomorrow.

Hendo horse out at Plumpton also.

i've backed Kitten Rock..higher rated over little sticks and Shaneshill's chase win was in a poor time from a 118 rated hurdler..KR should be fav imo

 

[EC1]

can't argue with that..KR a little keen early but as Granger says..looks like needs further

 

[viking]

Kitten Rock disappointing there. Expected to see Shaneshill pull further clear of the Sizing horse

Not sure I actually thought/agree Kitten Rock was superior to Shaneshill over hurdles.

Didn't like the way Kitten Rock carried himself after the last. Will be interesting to hear the connections thoughts.

 

[EC1]

seemed to jump funny at the last..was hidden behind horses a bit so didn't see it properly

i meant on official ratings..was just higher

 

[granger]

KR could go one of a few ways

End up well handicapped for something in future

possibly badly lacked fitness or conditions didn't suit

World hurdle horse

 

[Maruco]

Nah. They know he won't win a Novice Championship Grade 1, but the Johnny Henderson will be there for the taking by the time he gets mark.

 

[Frankel]

Kitten Rock was found to be lame post race examination.

that probably explains the ballooning effort at the last fence
