2015 Neptune Novice Hurdle

[MrMcGoldrick]

Allez Colombiere was originally fav for the supreme but after a poor run, I think there was some physical problem, he hasn't been mentioned again, if he came back it could be another in the mix, anyone know anything about the horse, and whether he's likely to run again.

OMG, I hadn't read that he died I just thought he had a mild injury, I saw the race and he just appeared to have been pulled up as a precaution.

anybody got aline on where Jollyallan will go ?

[MrMcGoldrick]

anybody got aline on where Jollyallan will go ?

I've only seen him connected with the supreme, that appears the target at this stage

[mayo]

anybody got aline on where Jollyallan will go ?

From fry website

hoping for with a
decisive success in the Class 2 Novices Hurdle at Kempton on Boxing Day.

The strong early pace suited him well as he has such a high cruising
speed and though he was not foot perfect at the last flight he was well
in command at the finish as he beat the Irish raider Sempre Medici by
four and a half lengths.

We wanted to see improvement in Jollyallan's jumping and it was better
though AP McCoy felt he was still a bit clumsy at times.

He is such a big horse and the penny has not quite dropped yet. But he is
certainly going the right way and is now unbeaten in three runs over
hurdles.

It is all about giving Jollyallan experience at this stage, so I imagine
he'll be sticking to novice races for the time being.

Also reported

"We'll take it one step at a time. Obviously his game is going to be fences, but for now he'll stick to the two-mile trip over hurdles. He's going the right way, and I hope that will continue."

So Supreme or nothing I'd say

[mayo]

Windsor Park anyone ? this is his trip I think

After lepoardstown

Weld said: "He did what you would expect. He's won his last four now.

"I was concerned it was a little bit soon. He had a little hold-up as he didn't school as well as I'd like.

"He's never been to a schooling hurdle so I was a little concerned with his jumping and it will improve dramatically.

"My only concern was if he had enough experience jumping. IT maybe came two weeks sooner than I would have liked, but this is a lovely galloping track and the two and a half (miles) suited.

"He's very talented, so it's onwards and upwards. We'll find a nice winners' race at the end of January or start of February.

"Considering it was his first run and considering he didn't have as good a prep as mine normally do for their first time over jumps it was very encouraging.

"He'll stay at two and a half. He's a stayer with speed."

-----------------

Still not mad about Weld at Cheltnham

[Old Vic]

Thx

West Wizard and Gaitway still on my radar too although not sure why Given Hendo record in this race

[Old Vic]

Out Sam jocked up over 2m 6f at Ascot tomorrow.

Might keep him for the EBF race or going 3 mile route ?

[Morning Glory]

Value at a risk out next week

A14-1 Abert Bartlett and 16-1 for the Neptune, will run at Cheltenham on Trials day with his performance over the shorter distance helping connections decide which race to target at the festival.

Skelton has planned to run the six-year-old in the Grade 2 2m4½f Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle on January 24 since he won by 22 lengths on his debut for the yard.

"Value At Risk's preparation has gone very smoothly and, since Newbury, it has always been the plan to take him to Cheltenham next Saturday," he said. "The weather is looking very wet but we are really looking forward to running him.

"I thought he would win at Newbury but I did not expect him to do it as impressively as he did. We had left a lot to work on because we have got next year in the back our minds. He will have an entry in both the Neptune and Albert Bartlett at the festival, but he is very much a horse for the future."
