    Didnt see a thread for this, but its a race that I like.

    So my first observation for this, is that Tea Clipper has an entry in a Hunter Chase at Ludlow this coming Thursday the 18th Feb with James Best provisionally booked to ride. Previous festival form, 6th and 4th behind Corach Rambler.
    Could be a very interesting recruit to the Hunter Chase circuit.

    Its on the Line current fav at 7/2 after beating Ferns Lock recently at Down Royal, and last years winner Premier Magic at 12’s
    No price being shown for Tea Clipper..

    Update: Tea Clipper introduced at 16’s with a few firms. Would have liked a bigger price like we all would.
    Free bet double On the GC winner (fingers crossed) and Tea Clipper.

    I’ve had what must be my first ever antepost bet on the Hunter Chase. Premier Magic won it last year and followed up athe May meeting, proving it was no fluke. He returned to action at the weekend just gone and duly won. He’s 12/1 and I can’t understand why he isn’t half the price.

    Wouldn’t throw your slip in the bin just yet, Landafar. A bigger field, stronger pace and better ground will all help. And the jockey is bound to have learnt from yesterday’s experience; he will hopefully wait longer in the big one.

    Although I respect the Irish challenge this year, there is a UK Pointer not even quoted in any of the lists I’ve seen who might emerge as a contender over the weekend.

    Hitak 10-1 nrnb is my first bet here, he’ll get his credentials tested today.

    All too much for Hitak, my money may be safe as I’d be surprised if he goes here. That race today took a bit of winning.

    I specialise in these races and in recent years I’ve successfully opposed a few Irish hotspots like Vaucelet (not a fluent jumper).

    This year, I’ve got a healthy respect for young pretenders Ferns Lock and Its On The Line (second as a 6yo last year) but the latter got into a right war today and will need an iron constitution to recover from that in a hurry.

    Premier Magic won at Brocklesby Park today btw, supplementing Sheriff Hutton gains.

    Ferns Lock – I can envisage him turning for home going easily but failing to maintain that up the hill

    It’s One The Line – could be running in one of the Nationals next season, stamina won’t be an issue

    Famous Clermont – looks like a non stayer to me

    Regatta Des Blanc – unbeaten at right-handed Larkhill and Taunton but didn’t impress during that racecourse victory, although did jump to his left so Cheltenham might suit

    Premier Magic – 2 from 3 over course and distance and lightly race at 11 years old

    IOTL now 7, stronger and should be difficult to beat

    Why are Premier Magic’s point wins mentioned above not listed on the Racing Post site? Seems like a shocking omission for a very expensive trade paper.

    The more mistakes the better, so long as we know the truth, Stilvi.

    Superb name btw – dam of Tromos and Tyrnavos?

    I was at Doncaster on St Leger Day in 1978 and saw Tromos finish third on his racecourse debut in the concluding race.

    However, we digress.

    We don’t want the great unwashed knowing the Point form, Stilvi.

    Really good Open at Larkhill tomorrow – Fier Jaguen, Grace A Vous Enki and Law Of Gold among the entries.

    But don’t tell anyone!

    Well the recent Brocklesby Park win is

    I was reading the form of a PTP win a few days ago and yet the horse he beat didn’t have that particular race listed in his form
