As you can probably tell by my username I am a huge huge fan of this horse, in fact I have been ever since I was at Cholet for his debut back in 2012. Ever since then I have been a huge admirier of him, I was instantly attracted to him (not something that usually happens to me at all). Anyway, when he got beat in the Neptune the following year I was gutted but couldn’t wait for him to go over fences. Cue, many a bet on him for the following year’s RSA. Low and behold he got injured, the same thing of course happened again last year when I had 70’s on hime for RSA again. For some odd reason I did the same thing this year out of love for the horse and managed to stumble across some 85’s, however only placed a very small bet.
When he finally reappeared this last Sunday gone, I couldn’g have been happier to him with all his old zest and was wandering what you guys think of him for the future. I know he beat very little but i couldn’t help but be impressed in the way he accelerated between the final two fences, especially for a horse who supposedly has stamina in abundance. I think he could go right to the top this year in the staying novice chasers division, and have gone back in rather heavily for this years RSA.
I think if he stays sound you have the bet of the century. I recall hearing an interview earlier this year with Rich Ricci and he said if he stayed sound he was the best horse he had.
Your 85s is a great bet and good luck I hope he stays sound for you.I remember listening to Mick Fitzgerald during the 2013 Festival coverage. He said he asked Ruby about this horse and his face lit up as if to say this was a serious good’un.
The Neptune he finished 3rd in was a 7 or 8 runner field with no pace, resulting in The New One using his speed to fly home when they got racing.
All I would say regarding the RSA is No More Heroes looks a worthy favourite right now, has jumped his fences like a stag so far and should relish every yard of the RSA trip. More of That is also a danger with his record of 3-3 round Cheltenham. Great race in prospect at this stage.
