I've never taken to DDS since he went beyond juvenile hurdles but that was taking.

Well done to all those who kept the faith with him. Justified rewards.

No qualms about the RSA. The 'big three' involved to the line. Decent race. I wonder if the interrupted prep for Santini made the difference but Topofthegame was always looking in control.

The...

Absolutely. So would I. But not when it's as fast as this was. My time rating says it must have been run at championship pace.

TWE can replicate the big figure and not win. That would make it a...

I opposed TWE on the day. I had him down as iffy and over-rated.

But he made my eyes pop that day. To a small degree, he reminded me of Might Bite in his RSA, going along at a good pace and then...

Bumping this.

He's jt-top on ORs and 1lb off the top on RPRs but is about 4x the price of those around him. I'm also on at 20/1 (nrnb/bog). I'd almost forgotten about him till I was going through...

I was wondering throughout the event if Vinndication was running its race. Beforehand, I thought it would win easily enough but it was never convincing me. You might well have the answer, jinnyj.

Looked like maybe a Grand National prep to me.

It looks like I'll have to revisit my standard times for Cheltenham.

I've just compared the sectionals between The Worlds End and Cogry in their respective races on 14 December and found the...

Never looked like being competitive.

I took 16/1 for the RSA after I realised how hot his last race was. My only concern is that he might target the JLT or 4-miler instead but I'll be surprised if...

It isn't in his entries. Hasn't it closed by now?

Either way, I'd maybe want to oppose it if it came out as soon as next week. Regardless of how easy last week may have looked these fast races...

Yes. As I said, I'm a huge fan of Santini. Good races won in slow times often means the winners have more speed than the opponents.

Getabird may well have to be exceptional.

I'm a huge fan of Santini and he did well the other week in what is now one of the strongest heats of the season but his time was pedestrian.

Fast...

While it's hard to be sure of the solidity of the time comparisons last Friday at Cheltenham (not a strong sample of races) it looks to me like The Worlds End has put up a very strong run in his...

I've had a look at the numbers aside from the times (since they don't really man anything other than the form is strong) and I reckon if Dynamite Dollars and Lalor meet again I would fancy DD to...

Just to put some flesh on the bones of the remark I made the other day about the Henry VII being faster than the Tingle Creek...

How much impact the rain had is obviously very hard to quantify but...

Yes, it was an immediate tongue-in-cheek riposte without checking the field (which I still haven't done). He was a brilliant juvenile and it would be great to see him resurrect his reputation.

... to be renamed 'Resurrection of Defeat' ...

Fair enough.

Any chance of merging the two seasonal novice chase threads?
