Old Roan Chase ~ 2009

[HamnEggs]

Looks a good race on paper for the race tomorrow - moved from the usual Sunday slot for the first time this season. Tidal Bay - breathing op. Would rather be a layer than a backer. Monets Garden - getting on at 11. This is his race though and made for the trip and track. One to keep on side. Knowhere - NTD yard not made usual flying start to season. Always liked the horse when fresh and think its a horse to keep on right side of when fresh as proved when winning Cotswold Chase a few yrs ago. Fingeronthepulse - never really built on a Cheltenham Festival victory and comes here against horses who arent handicappers. Tartak - definately worthy of interest. Likes the flat courses like Aintree and Kempton and should be worth support tomorrow. Dont Push It - Never thought hes shown all ability he has but not sure going left handed suits although hes done well. Against proven horses though would be a concern to me. Kicks For Free - Think hes a bleeder and as such avoid at all costs. Three Mirrors - Think he is being lined up for a handicap touch rather than a Graded victory!

Re: Old Roan Chase tomorrow Possibly could have included this one as a key race in my other threads, will certainly note the result as a number of these will feature in decent races throughout the season. will be looking at trends to help me out here !
