Novice Chasers 2019/20

Impressive from Jarvey's Plate today. Didn't even jump that fluently but found plenty up against two very good rivals.

I took a different view Bonjers as thought once Reserve Tank warmed to it, he travelled and jumped well and just got tired after fluffing the last. Paddy Brennan never looked really happy on Jarvey’s, niggling and pushing along from some way out. It could be I’ve got the old rose tinted specs on, as love the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP], but will almost certainly oppose the winner next time

Would be great to see Sam Spinner turn into a top notcher over fences, so hoping he goes well tomorrow

hope so Archie as from memory don't think he impressed at Chepstow on his chasing bow

(note - edited 4.52 post as read like I would oppose Reserve Tank next time which definitely is not the case!)
 
Beakstown is a monster of a horse. Sure to be a really good staying chaser. Not sure an early season effective match in a novice chase will suit though Danny. All credit to him if he wins, but I see him as a Welsh National horse next season if they manage this season well.

One I want to see is Itchy Feet. Literally just getting back into it now after a hectic summer. With me and the Mrs expecting twins it’s been one hectic few months.

Staying over hurdles, wrong decision in my opinion but what do I know. Could be a plot job for a big handicap over hurdles, will have to see.
 
Sam Spinner won that well in the end, after dropping out 10 lengths and looking as though he'd folded tamely and well beaten four out. A really strange ride and I'm not sure what to make of how much of it was horse and how much was jockey.

Joe saying that first time over fences and he took a while to get the hang of it, and that he definitely needs 3 miles. Probably a good ride in that he, Joe, judged the pace/ground and didn't want to muller him too early on the race, and he does know him. I know Joe has had his issues, but I have a lot of time for him. He needs to get some confidence in himself, if he had more rides it would help him.
 
I thought that it was a good ride. Previous runs and the cheekpieces indicate that he has a few quirks and he probably enjoys running past beaten horses. The trick is to get him to consistently run past horses that aren't beaten.
 
There was talk of Samcro and Battleoverdoyen schooling after racing at Punchestown yesterday. Anyone know if it happened and how it went?
 
Felix Desjy has had a setback and will seemingly return over hurdles this season, if he does so at all. Frustrating.
 
Windsor Avenue very impressive at Sedgefield today. You could tell from Ellisons interview afterwards that he has high hopes for him.
 
Just seen a horse come into the Arkle market, called Five O’Clock. See nothing about him that suggests his head favouritism even this early.

Does anyone know anything about him?
