2nd season chasers

There's a lot of talk about 2nd season chasers this year; an example was the poor performance(s) in this years Hennessey (which is usually won by a second season chaser). The answer is obvious - they just aren't any good! Let's look at last years top novices: Wishfful Thinking, Time for Rupert, Medermit - none have come out and shown anything! Bearing this in mind, IMO, when Bob publishes his trends and second season chasers are recommended, I would ignore this fact. It's not Bob's fault, just that last years novices aren't as good as we hoped.

A little harsh Martin to dismiss them quite so early and on seasonal return - but the young crop from Nichols does not inspire. The older boys doing well in the Hennessey does blunt the enthusiasm for the younger brigade though with only 1 finishing in the first four!

A bit harsh maybe Bob, but they didn't build me with any confidence.
