Howdens Graduation Chase

[Silver Spoon]

I want to be against the fav in this. I’m thinking that Solo could maybe sneak into the frame here, but I’m only getting two places for the 12-1. Sod it, two places it is

Tahmuras really disappointed me at Haydock, but I’m giving him a second chance, and this comes with its own risk, as he’s also entered in the silver cup. I’ve taken 10-1

[Venture to Cognac]

Missed the 4’s Jungle Boogie, but given it’s a busy Saturday, with a busy week ahead, it was really just for a bit of interest at those odds.

I’ll hopefully catch him again at more generous odds later in season, but if he hits 4’s again, I’ll have an interest

Jungle Boogie 7-2

[greenasgrass]

Fil d’Or at 13-2 for me.
He’s race fit and beat Jungle Boogie comfortably in the Hilly Way last year- over a trip too short for both.

James du Berlais isn’t trying and Iroko might not be either.

[Refuse To Bend]

Jungle Boogie.

The more I know the less I understand.

Jungle Boogie in a double with Milldam

[Eezer]

I’m another with Jungle Boogie

[Gingertipster]

Me too.

A race with not much between them on form. That said, Iroko has a massive chance on potential. However, will he again be ridden badly in order to keep his handicap down for the National? Couldn’t have been ridden much worse last time out – giving the leader / winner plenty of rope before being asked a serious question.

James Du Berlais tipped up last time. Usually a good jumper as he showed over National fences. Looked the winner of the Topham for a long way. Hasn’t won as many races as his ability should. Often seemingly finds little.

Fil D’Or Runner-up to El Fabiolo in the Hilly Way in December last year but hasn’t gone on from that. Had Jungle Boogie well beaten there, but that was only the latter’s second chase and 2m didn’t suit.

Jungle Boogie is getting old but is lightly raced and being fresh is a big plus with him. Ran well for a long way in the Gold Cup last time out, before not staying. Suggesting may even be more improvement to come despite his age. Might get a soft lead too and have a positional advantage over the favourite.

I’ve backed Jungle Boogie @ an average of 4.08 with a part saver @ an average of 1.93 to finish in the first 2.

Value Is Everything

[Ex RubyLight]

James Du Berlais at 4/1 seems a very good price to me.

[Wilts]

Classy, despite the jumping out to the left.

[greenasgrass]

Well done Bobby and everyone else on. Just too scopey and classy for Fil d’Or.

[Refuse To Bend]

Cheers Green

[Wilts]

WD winners. I’m waiting on Milldam, now.

[Wilts]

Boooommm!!

[Refuse To Bend]

Winner winner Wilts

The more I know the less I understand.

[Wilts]

Cheers RTB.
I thought he was about to be caught at the last but he found more, on the run in.
