    The handicap thread first noted Humble Hero (post by Birds Nest) on 19th November for this race, and has been followed over the next two months by posts for Mister Blue Sky, Dame De Compangie, It Sure Is, Sebastapol, Thomas Darby, Necer Adapt and Mohaayed.

    The market at the date of this post has the following heading the market:-
    16/1 Never Adapt
    20/1 Not So Sleepy
    25/1 Whiskey Sour
    25/1 Mill Green
    25/1 Eldorado Allen
    25/1 Soviet Pimpernel
    25/1 Turnpike Trip
    25/1 Aramon
    25/1 French Crusader
    33/1 bar these

    Look forward to County Hurdle chat in the last few weeks before the Festival.

    Any Novice Hurdlers that you think will be targeted here? Willie Mullins loves to win it, maybe he has a novice or two that could come here.

    Thanks for starting the thread SW, the handicap threads are my favourite part of the forum pre festival! Followed people in on mohaayed at 50/1, and also got ciel de neige at 33/1.

      I have nothing specifically placed on this yet (this and coral the only 2 races) but I might have a few live TWAR ones in my book who might show up.

      I backed out backing Whisky Sour few months back probably try and get a nice nrnb price (if there is one)

        The three from last seasons Fred Winter are of interest, Band Of Outlaws, Coko Beach and Ciel De Neige. At some point I'll probably back all three NRNB.

        Mohaayed, as has been mentioned previously, would look overpriced still @ 50's too.

          BOO sadly out for the season. A real shame as I agree wouldve been of interest here

          EDIT: maybe not season, but Joseph has said he'll deffo miss the fest

            Great, thanks Robith, saves me tying up funds.

              Already set out my stall for this race as mentioned in the Handicap thread.

              Mohaayed at 50/1 is a cracking EW bet in my eyes.
              Ciel De Neige at 35/1 is also very decent looks on a good mark
              Never Adapt should she come here would be my other, have got any race at 27s

              I think I am done now until the day unless anything else catches my eye

                It will be interesting to see what Willie does for Ciel De Neige next race. Hopefully go for low key maiden hurdle rather than go for Betfair. I would like to see his 135 or both Irish and British saved for this

                  Mohaayed my favourite tip I've seen for this so far.


                  Ciel De Neige is one for me "any race" that could run here.


                  I also thought this is more Couer Sublime's level, after his 2nd over actual Course and Distance last season.


                  and I'd also be interested if Thomas Darby ran, although I might back him for the Coral Cup as I've long thought a step up would help

                    I’d be keen on Harambe at the moment although still early to know who will go for this, especially some of the novices. Harambe is a C&D winner and I still think he could have some room left in his new mark.

                      Interesting one!

                      Can't take you seriously without a profile picture though.... any horse in mind?

                      Master Debonair?

                          Haha, good sport.

                          Feel free to let me know which horse you actually want at any point.

                            Completely irrelevant to the thread Kev but did I remember you saying you’re a Tranmere fan? I’m home from uni this weekend (for the Romford dogs Coronation Cup final today) but am off to Tranmere away with the Ipswich tomorrow. Hopefully Norwood bangs in a hat trick back at your ground.

                              Certainly am, and Norwood to score anytime against us is the absolute nap of the day.

                              We'll probably cheer him if he gets a hattrick.
