The trainer of easyland has said the National is his aim. Going to run at Cheltenham next month and Dec and Cheltenham in March then see how he is and go for the National. Had a little bit at 25/1.
Yes, one to keep an eye on. Don’t usually like 7 year olds but he may be an exception to be in the mix.
Not surprised. He has to run over 3 miles (or close to it) somewhere to qualify for the NH Chase. He ain’t qualified yet.
Venture, I see you’re keen on Milan Native here. I quite like the thought of him too + I was considering an early bet. I see he is running tomorrow, it’ll be interesting to see how he fares against Minella Indo tomorrow.
The other two horses that I like just now are Potters Corner 40-1 + Mister Malarky 66-1. I think that the price for Mister Malarky is very appealing. Greenasgrass, do you still like him for this?
Yeah mate, I really like him. Not overly impressive first time out, but he got the job done. His win in The Kim Muir is worth a second look. The way he travelled, and the manner he won, suggested a lot more to come.
I think he can easily step out of Handicaps, so no surprise if he gives Indo a fright tomorrow. If that is the case, then he’ll probably be high enough for this.
Either way, the current 40’s is very big.
I was a bit concerned with the market on the exchange’s for Any Second Now, I suspected all not well, but good to see him entered up in The Lismullen Hurdle at Navan.
Hopeful of a good early season spin.
Thought that was a great run from Potters Corner today.
I know a few good mentions for him already, but I’m amazed the 33’s held.
If I wasn’t strictly sticking with one before the entries are out, I’d probably have a few quid his way.
I agree, a terrific run from Potter’s Corner and I’m going to have a very early go on the 33’s remaining.
The only other one I’d be tempted to bet at this time is Walk In The Mill. 50/1 won’t be around for long if he puts in another good run in the Becher.
Yesterday Easysland was beaten 2 lengths giving Potters Corner 21 pounds. As it stands, if they were to meet in the National Easysland would get a 20 pound weight turnaround for a 2 length beating.
Easysland clouted the Aintree fence both times yesterday
And generally jumped poorly
And would have to carry a huge weight
Not for me at this stage
His weight wont be that huge at the moment. His chase rating is 152, Potters Corner 151. The Cross Country ratings are different, that’s where the big weight differential comes in at handicap level. Potters Corner has no chance against Easysland if the handicapper gives them their current chase mark and they both had a clear, clean round. Weights day will be interesting.
