VTC any views on STEELY ADDITION get feeling will improve for last run and form at track to not suprise if this main target
No Nath, don’t know the reason, I thought they might fancy putting him back over Hurdles.
I’ve bet two in this already. Now Mcginty + Joe Farrell.
Now Mcginty is my main bet + Joe Farrell is definitely a backup
Can’t see West Approach going here with him out tomorrow.
Best I can hope for is a nice win to get my stake back, and I’d take that right now.
I backed Potters Corner at 40/1, (in Pat’s ante post thread) three weeks
back and I’m hoping that his win at Chepstow last Saturday might convince them to
have a go. He showed great improvement from his poor run at Haydock 2 weeks prior
and I think he would do well here. I’ll be happy enough if he shows up and gives
me a run for my money.Joe Tizzard blog…
“I think Elegant Escape will be our one runner in the Coral Welsh Grand National.
Garth and Anne Broom are keen for Native River to go to the Cheltenham Gold Cup reasonably fresh, so we’ll likely target the Cotswold Chase or the Denman Chase for him.
He’ll just have the one run and then we’ll have a real good crack at the Gold Cup again.”Well spotted Mike and extremely interesting news for owners of horses currently out of the handicap including my fancy for the race.
Native River is still in the betting for the Welsh National, his current price on Betfair is 10.5/1 and with the bookies he is as low as 7/1. You would think the stable would be keen to run him as he is on a good mark and the race plays to his strengths, he would also keep the weights down for the stables other runners. Funny that Joe Tizzard said he was a runner in his previous blog:
‘The race has cut up to four runners and we have changed the headgear from cheek pieces to blinkers. He’s been in some hard races over his career, so the blinkers should just help keep him focused.
He’s had a couple of away days. He went to Newbury last Sunday and schooled beautifully a couple of times, and this has always been the plan. It looks a nice race. I don’t know what to expect from Might Bite but Native River beat him last year. We think we’ve got Native River in very good form, he’s won round Aintree as a novice, so this is the right race for him.
If he runs well in this race, then his next start will be in the Coral Welsh Grand National, and after that we’ll make a plan to take us to the Gold Cup.
It will obviously be a big challenge winning at Chepstow again off 167 but I think it’s doable. In fact, we probably train the main danger to him in Elegant Escape. It’s the right race for both those horses.’
