Re: Friday 4:00 > Foxhunter Chase Cottage Oak who was 3rd in this last year is out for the season and Beshabar who was being aimed at the race has been retired after getting injured again. Quel Esprit did pop up in some lists after winning a point to point, but he can't run in any hunter chases in Britain as he has won too much prize money. Mossey Joe is current market leader and was sold at Cheltenham on the weekend for 160k. Plenty of money for an 11yo. He has gone to Enda Bolger's and apparently Cheltenham and the Grand National are the targets. I must admit I have some doubts about him being ready for Cheltenham given he hasn't been in training from what I can gather for a while. On form he should be the market leader, but I certainly would not be wanting to back him at the moment.
