  • 2nd season novices

    Might have a few more than normal go on to have a second season in novice company this year.
    I reckon there's a lot to talk through.
    Apologies if this has already been brought up.

    Two I've had a good look at today.

    Pipesmoker
    Ciel de Neige

    Both still just 5 years old and both have decent placed form.
    Pipesmoker looks most likely for improvement.


    Any others - I'm sure there are plenty as we stopped the season in March

    Good idea

    I can't believe Ciel De Neige is still a novice. I even checked it despite knowing you clearly wouldn't have started a thread and got that wrong



    Hollow Sound and Berkshire Royal are the only two that ran in the Supreme... neither interest me though for Cheltenham.

      As a chaser there is, of course, Lobos fav Galvin

        Hold the Note is still a novice, whilst I have limited confidence in Micky Channons ability with training staying chasers if he guesses a few things right this one could be a runner for top table staying honours...

          Both in my notebook Q. Been wondering where Pipesmoker will end up for some time now.

            Ciel De Neige is a great shout. Really good place form last season apart from the Fez where clearly something was amiss. Has to be on everyone's Handicap radar.

              It's a rare case but I think Ciel De Neige will actually be a 3rd season novice hurdler.

                  Early doors really ought to be priced up for the NH chase & RSA.

                    Don't start that. He'll miss the Fez again obviously!

                      Marie’s rock is a horse I’m hoping for positive news on for the mares novice hurdle as a second season novice.

                        Marie's Rock won twice last season so won't be a novice.
