Alcala very tenderly ridden by Nick Scholfield in the Pertemps to finish 6th - plenty of arm waving but no real drive, but he's qualified for the final
In and out of the race several times but staying on in eyecatching fashion. He has 4 miler at the festival written all over him! Well don Lizzie
tea for two jumps these for fun it's a shame he's gonna be up against No More Heroes. I fully expect Lizzy to keep the ride come March
Interesting race now. The New One was beat 10l in the Champion when allegedly carrying an injury. Surely he'll get closer today ailment free?
Well done to Lizzie Kelly on becoming the first female jockey to win a Grade One jumps race in Great Britain on Tea For Two. Speaking of female National Hunt jockeys, who remembers Gee Armytage from like 20 years ago? http://photos.racingpost.com/cache/...97b336bf19a46d126f7738f4fc88988a339ec7a4c.jpg
There you go lads, standard been set. Only another Mullins runner can beat him, nothing this side of the water I wouldn't think. Very nice.
Remember the 2/1 lads the day Willie got us the price enhancement On form lines TNO would barely beat the Mullins C team like Sempre Nedici! World Hurdle surely beckons, never was a G1 2miler. Would be interesting stepped up to a trip, he's a stayer and he could be a very good one in a weak division.
Thistlecrack is the one to beat, but The New One won at the Festival over 2m5f and he should stay 3m.
Agree yep. Wasting him against 2 milers like FAUGHEEN, where he just is constantly outclassed. Hopefully Nige throws the dice and aims him somewhere he might have a chance. Serious novice chase here. Watching behind the sofa job with Patrick on.
