Six entries for Henry V111 Novice Chase
Brain Power, Finian's Oscar, Sceau Royal, North Hill Harvey, Capitaine, Jameson
That will be one hell of a race if all or most of them stand their ground, which must be possible given it's been re-opened.
Edit: Looks like Finians more likely to go to Cheltenham a week later.
What a race that'd be.
Thought Brain Power was going to Kempton for the Wayward Lad
Viva Steve a possible for The Becher. He ran 4th in The Kerry Nash, been waiting to see him out again since then.

10 years ago yesterday, probably my favourite moment in racing
Rest easy champ
Longer ago than that Granger, you're clearly older than you thought !
and in hindsight it seems a pity Well Chief didn't make the front page in the build up.
Ha - jesus. Typing and walking
13 years, as i near 35, I must be in denial
Who's that again with Moscow....PN's with the funny name?
Are you serious? Azertyuiop.....top line on a French keyboard, apparently. Vive la difference.
The pic might be from Moscow's first (winning) Tingle Creek - in which case, the Post have picked the wrong race to profile. Agree with Lee that they should have gone with the 2004 edition, with Well Chief also in the picture, as it took all three of them to make it the greatest Jumps race ever..........but?........they're retards at the Post........what can you do? :blink:
Thanks DG BUT Yeah as if they will all turn up
Brain Power is having a lobotomy Finians has to go see his uncle rainbow Sceau has appointment at the palace NHH has gone south, Captaine's ship sunk on the way there and Jemeson is drunk in Ireland
Race will reopen on Thus :lol:
The picture is taken from the 2003 edition as the date on the paper is 2004, so it is the preview of Moscow vs Azerty III (vs Well Chief) although as the race wasn't run until later that day they wouldn't have had the benefit of hindsight but he was still the current Arkle winner so should have merited a place beside them on the front page IMHO.
Charbel (Kim Bailey) only runs in Tingle Creek if the race cuts up to two or three runners and is more likely to run in Peterborough Chase the next day as predicted going will be in his favour. Having said that would be first time he's run over the distance.
I suppose Danny Mullins will be riding Brain Power again? not cool he simply isn't good enough when you can have Nico on board
To be fair to Mullins, he didn’t do a lot wrong on BP first time up at Kempton.
I agree it’s a little strange though. I can only imagine there was a time when Nico had to choose between one of Buckley’s and another of Henderson’s, went with the other one, and that it put Buckley’s nose out of joint, and he no longer wants to use him?
If so, it’s a strange decision, because there’s little doubt that NdB has quickly developed lnto one of the best riders in the UK.
Of the current set of UK jocks, I reckon Nico will make the best trainer
Nico has a 20% strike rate Mullins has a 6% strike rate the prize money to be won between now and Aintree is almost 1/4 million...Gimme a break Archie there's no room for sentimental crap in business
