  • hello and welcome to another episode of the Jumps racing pocus here hosted by myself.

  • Bobby Beemer is always I'm joined by Nick Said it now, just before way a lot back what we saw over the weekend in preview the classic chase.

  • I just wanna let you know that if you are watches right now, this is on you to make sure you do subscribe to see myself on Nick doing this podcast weekend.

  • We can't get yet CR Smiley faces all.

  • If you do prefer, just listen to the audio.

  • It's available on Apple music on that sounded cloud as well.

  • Nick is always great to see a lot to look back on, and I think we're getting to see now show rail Shelton content is after what we saw over the weekend.

  • Hi, Bobby.

  • Good to see you.

  • As always.

  • It's a quick turnaround for us, isn't it?

  • Because we were on the here on Thursday doing a podcast.

  • So luckily for us, there's plenty to talk about.

  • As usual.

  • As you say, Children, please have plenty on big old debate brewing up in the Champion Hurdle division, which will get onto as well yeah, there certainly is indeed I've got reservations about that, by the way, but that very, very short.

  • But we'll start first with the Great War.

  • What we saw in such states Sundown it wants the tall with Fiddler on the Roof was very, very impressive.

  • Great display former from what we saw on sustain this is the interesting thing about it is if you look at the entry, so is enter for the Supreme is entered for the body more and it's also answered for the Albert Bartlett is well out of the three.

  • Where where did where would you put him?

  • Let let let's But where would you put him a car?

  • Those three?

  • Well, yeah, it's as you say.

  • It's really intriguing one, isn't it?

  • And he probably deserves to be in all three markets because he's shown a lot of versatility.

  • And I think the key thing here with this is that we have to remember a bit of yard politics.

  • Really, when it comes to call Intisar because he has three very, very good novice hurdlers in master, debonair, the big break away on dhe, this fiddler on the roof, and it's really just a case of tryingto I suppose being as broader challenges his outcome money because they much and he will want to be a top trainer or challenge to be top trainer at the festival.

  • So imagine that is, you know, bearing punters and bookies, air bearing that in mind.

  • But me personally, I think he's a supreme horse.

  • A supreme novice is awesome.

  • It was a supreme performance.

  • But this this race is is an indicator that all worth four, the supreme novices head on.

  • Only two horses, admittedly have won both this century.

  • A cz we said last last week.

  • But you know, it was hard not to be impressed by that performance the way which he beat that field.

  • And we came into it when we did the preview, saying, We thought that was quite a few nice types in there, waiting to beat them.

  • I'm decimated them pulled away from the smart, potentially smart performance was really, really impressive.

  • I think the fact that he's 8 to 1 for the supreme novices heard there's a big clue about where the where is loyalties lie because it may also be a case with, you know, college is, I don't want to keep them separate, if possible.

  • But there's a certain 13 to 8 favor in the Ballymore that everybody will want to avoid as well.

  • Yeah.

  • Yes, definitely indeed.

  • Did just just talking about, though his his rivals a cz.

  • Well, Nick, do you do you think for the other horses, that would be a case of going back to the drawing board with them?

  • I think so, Yeah.

  • You know, for some of these novices, the majority of them were having just the third of four star, so we know that sand down can come up very soft.

  • It was soft on Saturday.

  • You know, it's a big shock sometimes for these novice shirtless to face testing ground.

  • I thought the mayor Jeremy's flame came out with plenty of credit from over in Ireland came from Gavin Cromwell's yard.

  • She looked a really smart murder.

  • She went down fighting, and you know, she's she's want to consider for the dorm room nothing for the rest of them.

  • You say, you know, sort of cameras got powerful connections.

  • Indeed, with Nicky Henderson on car with Georgia as well from poor Nichols, I'm sure that they will go back to the drawing board and they will go on to be productive careers as well.

  • But it might be a big compliment to be beaten the way they were by this Fiddler on the roof will just have to wait and see just talking about their envoy, Alan, that one of the great one on Sunday at Mace again.

  • Multiple entries.

  • It the festival.

  • There's an entry for the Supreme.

  • The champion Heard was well, but as it stands at the moment for the Baltimore the 13 it's eight.

  • Market leader, which what a sister.

  • That's where he'll end up.

  • However, this is this question mark of the champion Hurdle.

  • The Rays.

  • Yeah, and I suppose you can see why.

  • I think the thing is with Challenge him is, I suppose, when there is a a division that is particularly weak or looks open like the champion Hurdle you're going tohave punters, fans, trainers looking at their options and considering whether they have something, maybe from the left field.

  • So in the past few weeks, you know the mayor honeysuckle.

  • Her name has been thrown around because she's been so good in her division, and it's only natural, really.

  • If you've got such a good novice like this on violin has proven to be so far.

  • AIDS May 3 starts over hurdles, and he's been flawless in all three to Grade one wins already under is about, and you know it's almost inevitable that people are gonna want to see him thrown in the deep end because it's so exciting.

  • But personally, I just think it's there's no point.

  • If you are being totally selfish from it's your horse, you've got a great one of the Challenge Festival on offer in the novice division that is so much easier to to go after at this stage with the horse.

  • It's still learning his trade at six.

  • Yeah, I think you're really asking an awful lot of the horse to step up into open company like that.

  • The champion hurdle and, you know, it looks like the Baltimore is going to be the number one target.

  • That's because he went on Sunday in the lawyer of Nace novices.

  • Hurdle that was over two and 1/2 miles to Baltimore is over 25 so that you'd think that that would be the target bought is showing plenty of speed so far, there's no reason why you can't drop back and win the Supreme on DDE.

  • I tell you what.

  • If he did actually go for the champion, Odo, would you take my opinion out and let's say they took him in and, you know, really sporting about it, looking at the champion heard And you'd have to You'd have to factor nothing.

  • That's why would it say Tear would have seen previous years, We probably would have sat here and said, You know, go for their body more, you know, keep it simple.

  • However, this year on, look at that two mile division.

  • You've really got to fund see your chance to show it.

  • You've got to Avenue.

  • You know, we don't want to bash the champion hurdle in division too much.

  • But you know what way said a lot about a pretender in last episode, and you know it's It's a week division.

  • When you know a male like that, I suddenly favor the champion head off the back of one grade one performance and bubbles have just been bursting left, right and center in this division.

  • So a lot of them of holes in, you know, classical Dream has struggled so far this term Pentland Hills.

  • He was another Chapman hero last season.

  • It didn't go to plan for him in the international hurdle, but at the same time of those horses bounce back, it would be a big ass for a novice to take them on that.

  • Just look at what we shall say looking.

  • But I beg your pardon, but not looking at just looking back what we saw on Sunday.

  • Also where plumped.

  • And it was the the Sussex National.

  • It went in the way of a Christmas in April, while it weren't Christmas today, pull.

  • It was Christmas in January effort for this source, but he got the job done there for calling, desire and hurry, Captain.

  • Yeah, he did.

  • And I think it's worth pointing out that this is a really, really good card down and plant.

  • And I don't have you bean before Bobby, but it really is one of my favorites, right?

  • It's a cracking course, and you know, they do have this mystical bonus as well.

  • If you can win a race that Clinton and go on to win the Challenge Festival don't have, it's still going.

  • But I think it's about £60,000 offer on DDE.

  • I don't think we've got a challenge.

  • Amirault in Christmas in April, but his name might be a clue as to where his future may lies.

  • It's still only an eight year old, but that might be a certain April shape piece on the radar in the future.

  • But, I mean, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

  • He's won a variation of the Grand National the Store six.

  • National Andi looked a really promising stare.

  • In doing so.

  • This is the 2nd 1 on the truck for Colin Tizard.

  • E showed plenty of stamina to win over three and 1/2 miles.

  • He handled really testing conditions, and he came out on top by just shy of two lengths off a mark of 123.

  • Now it is a world away from the national.

  • We save your we need about 145 to guarantee yourself a run, But I am I imagine, for a horse that showing plenty of stamina over three and 1/2 miles, I think you go up to about 130 for this.

  • I wonder if the IDA next month at Newcastle might be on the radar for it.

  • Yeah, a great shout to head up to wear two ghosts with their park deployed T shirt.

  • It was also in that there was enclosure on Sunday afternoon.

  • Now he beat the North on one plate winner from this year with asserts in their homes.

  • Stairs Wednesday's interested there were deployed to the ship because he has been in office for some time now.

  • He has, yeah, it Sze, almost nice to see him finally click into place because he almost became a running joke with how frustrating he was.

  • He was with your Elliot for what felt like eternity.

  • You know, he's been novice chasing now for quite some time since back in 2017 and it always felt like he'd find a way to be beaten.

  • It be sent off his favorite for these novice contests for these bigger parts and everyone really, really well mitt times, but would conspire to be beaten in the in the latter stages.

  • But I think it was a hint of just how high the connections thought of him.

  • That he was sent off is it was 11 to 2, back in 2018 for the close brothers and the chase is a big gamble behind him.

  • It was very much the plot.

  • See, what year was that?

  • It was at the end.

  • Up, Mr Whitaker.

  • 2018.

  • It waas So a couple of years ago, your Mr What was it?

  • Make shutting brain heals it.

  • Wasit was spot on Mr Wicked.

  • Mr.

  • Whitaker came out on top.

  • Yeah, that's just a level of how highly the thought of him.

  • It never went to plan, but he's left the Gordon Elliott team.

  • He changed hands, is now with Susie Best and he just thinks, seemed to be clicking into place with him.

  • He wouldn't want you now, but back in August on Dhe need one room one, since he's now 12 of his last three starts when he wanted on Sunday.

  • It's a pretty notable scalp, and I think he's really interesting.

  • You know, he's never once put for faith in temperament wise, but we've got here a 10 year old novice, one of the most experienced novices going.

  • It might just be worth keeping an eye on over the next few weeks and months because I much in his connections, his new train will be very canny with him.

  • They've got a very experienced novice, and there are some decent pots open this time of year in these novice, smaller, novice races.

  • Wouldn't surprise me either if they went for a bit of a sequence or if they decided to chuck him in one of these big, big part novice contests, like the National on Chaser in Equipments Time is not the only older novice chases them around.

  • Is this a certain a 12 year old gelding on Nobody, Sir Chasing now as well, with a certain for him, And I agree with everything.

  • What you said there, Nikki in terms of the clotting, Should it be interested to see where connections do what go with him going forward right there?

  • We're gonna real treat for the viewers unless is now here off the jumps race in Polk Custer.

  • Because we're going to hear now from former England Liverpool and Real Madrid football a statement monument on the Gold Coast.

  • So I just thought, actually, basically about the Chapman Gold Cook picture after after the festive period because so much happened.

  • We'll start with the King George and the winner comes over.

  • He's now a joking George winners, is he?

  • They want to be in the Gold Cup.

  • Funny enough, I thought, Well, he was incredibly impressive, wasn't even in the King George.

  • I just don't know how impressive the race will will run as compared with the Gold Corp picture only because their name looks as if he just didn't stay, which is fine because nobody found that out.

  • No problem.

  • Lost in translation was going well before that.

  • Made that really bad mistake, and its other winds on the race might panels as if it might be the greatest King George.

  • Regardless off Klunder plunges over winning as well.
