Value Is EverythingA few notable absences, but just as many intriguing names in there. My search for an accompaniment with Kitty’s Light goes on, but of the ones entered I’d be most interested in…
Chemical Energy – clearly being laid out for this
Eldorado Allen – isn’t short of class, mark might be a touch high
Fiddlerontheroof – surprised to see him, but fancied in 2022
Galia Des Liteaux – very promising run last time
Minella Indo – could be really well treated
Vanillier – big fancy, but the price has goneI’ll likely wait for the weights before committing again as I’ve already thrown enough away. Wouldn’t want more than 4, really.
Panda Boy was 66’s now as short as 16’s in places. We started the Pandwagon on this thread when he was that big price. He’ll be there at the business end IF he can get in. Hoping the UK handicapper adds a pound or three.
The dark horse is the 7yo pointer/hunter half brother to Monbeg Dude in Its On The Line from your man Emmet. Was not expecting to see him in there at all.
Not sure if the rule about not being able to run in the National if they run in a Hunter Chase in the same season is still a thing. He hasn’t done that yet, he’s just gone in points so far this season. A watch this space horse.
The rule still applies KendalCavalier – see point 14 of the below https://rules.britishhorseracing.com/#!/book/34/chapter/s3395-running-requirements-code/content?section=s3400-additional-requirements-for-hunters-steeple-chases&keyword=Hunter.
It’s not entirely clear if it still applies to hunter chasers that took place in Ireland, though it would seem logical.
For what it’s worth when utilising the current Irish marks; the 34th horse is currently rated 147. The 55th horse (last year’s number 34) is rated 144. Obiously the handicapper will have his say, and these things aren’t uniform year-on-year, but it’s always worth a look when gauging likely runners.
They still doing that thing where they declare the weights weeks in advance and before the Fez? (I know they are, just wanted to sigh about it).
With no Tiger Roll or Any Second Now involved, which connections will throw a mardy about getting too much weight this year?
No Galliard du Mesnil, which is interesting. Must be done for the season.
Hoping that the former Durham National winner listed above will take up the engagement. Would be a sight that.
Chemical Energy is rated 147. Despite the lower number of runners this year he should get in and run off a very lowly weight. Minella Indo is only 10 lbs higher, a possible weight of around 11-00 wouldn’t bother him much.
Is Noble Yeats with 166 the highest rated horse among the entries?
