I thought this race was made for Irish Wolf and with Bowen training him I assumed he'd be entered for it but it seems not. Nothing really jumps out at this stage aside from the obvious types such as Halcon Genelardais and Character Building.
 
Mr Pointment is very unlikely to run. Nicholls has already stated that the horse will probably be put away until the weights are out, having one run in the spring before going straight for the National.


(and people criticised Hen for running a horse only 3 or 4 times a season!!!!! )
 
i'm not even sureif he will have another run b4 the national u know. it seems to me that nicholls likes to keep his horses fresh for the race.
 
The irony about Mr Pointment is that the owners are claiming they moved the horse from Edgy because it wasn't running enough.
Well if he's having one more run followed by the National that would be four runs for the season,hardly a taxing campaign!
 
Was it about Mr Pointment that Nicholls said something like "I won't cock it up by running him again over the winter" - was he thinking of Silver Birch there?
 
Gungadu - only doubt is on the stamina side as he looked out on his legs when falling at Cheltenham (ran in the wrong race too - speaking through thy pocket mind).
 
I cant believe your all picking the wrong Nicholls horses!!!! Cornish Sett will be the one dont you worry hes made for it and if the owner decides to go to Aintree he will win that also!!!!
 
Halcon Genelardais has been aimed at this race, so wouldnt be a suprise if he went on to win it again to be honest.

Has got a few runs in this season to bring him on a bit and stays very well too. Wont mind if the rain comes either.

Seems to have gained a bit of speed as well which is good. Will be interesting to see the betting but i wouldnt rule him out.
 
Will wait till nearer the day for the weights/ground etc, but I'm certainly inclined to Halcon as well, if he gets his conditions. He will def be trained for this as he doesn't get the GN trip

Simon and Mr Pointment are obvious dsangers with less weight; and my dark horse at this stage would be Geeveem
 
There was an excellent article drawn up by a pro punter a few years back that tipped Bindarre to win the race. The key to finding the winner is to avoid all horses that ran in the Hennessy. That years fav was Hedgehunter who was very well weighted.
 
It's certainly been a while. The Rehearsal Chase had a great record of providing the winner before it got shipped up to Newcastle.
 
As I said on another thread the Hennessy is usually a very hard race and I'd be wary of lumping on anything* which was placed in it so soon after - speaking of Dream Alliance that is. I have in fact today put a little on him e/w but I think the race will go to a fresher horse.

Interestingly Geeveem was 14/1 and 16/1 with some bookies earlier today but 25/1 with PP so I thought I'd better take a little :D and I had a couple of other little nibbles on my fancies while I was at it.

* this excludes Denman as I don't think he had a hard race
 
I'd say Mr Pointment is a very, very unlikely runner. Remember the entries will have been made before the Becher and Nicholls has since come out and stated that the horse will not run again until the spring (codespeak for "until the National weights come out"!!) so I would strongly advise against backing the animal.
