    Juvenile hurdlers are an awful lot in general

    Odd exception but most of them end up dogs

    He is a huge huge horse but this isn't one that struck me as a natural chaser

    He's certainly the best we've see so far. Looking forward to seeing that.

    Am I the only one who isn’t particularly jazzed by Black Op?

    Dunno what it is, but I feel like he’s one I’d want to take on at a short-price.

    Very impressed with La Bague au Roi again today. It'll take a good one to turn her over with the allowance.

    Kayley Woollacott reconsidering the Henry VIII Novices’ Chase at Sandown for Arkle favourite Lalor.

    "He’ll school this week and if all is well we could turn up on Saturday. It’s a Grade 1 after all,"

    Kalashnikov really does look a real chasing type so his defeat by Summervville Boy was perhaps flattaring to Tom George's hurdler

    The way he took one fence like a hop skip and a jump down the back was top class. He's going to take some beating this season.

    I see Lalor is being fed plenty carrots by Kaley's daughter before heading to Sandown on Saturday.

    Everyone was delight for them on his chasing debut so hopefully he can add the Henry VIII to his tally and make this Arkle a very decent race.

    This to me looks a better race for punters than last year when Footpad who could be grossly overrated really having nothing to beat.
