Hello lads. Nothing for me today...off out Chrimbo shopping after the 2.30. What a good contest it looks on paper with all six runners holding some sort of chance. Defo one to sky+ GL all having a punt.
I'm sticking with Pacha Du Polder - but he has gone from favourite last night to outsider at 6' snow!
Should have followed the money for Zaynar - a terrific front running performance I'll be glad to get back to work next week, as I can't bet from my office pc
what a good run by Zaynar, he seems to be getting back to something like his old form. A lovely bit of form for Walkon fans.
Man, that was impressive by Zaynar. Only one slightly dodgy jump where I think he jumped a bit left-handed. Blitzed them.......................
For a horse that hasnt won for over 2years that was a good performance from Zaynar... Hit a couple of fences early on but after that very impressive... Kum hit with 6 out and never got it back, though i doubt he would have caught Zaynar...
Zaynar most impressive. Jumped fluently out in front and had the rest at it a long way from home, and never looked in danger of getting caught. Big boost to the form of Grands Crus and Walk On who walloped him at Cheltenham and Exeter respectively. From what I've seen so far they would be my two for the RSA and Jewson, depending what Nicholls does with Silviniaco Conti who I've been really impressed with. There does appear to be good strength in depth right across the novice chase division this year. Edit: Congratulations on the forecast George. Good call.
