Supreme/Ballymore/Albert Bartlett - Novice Hurdles 2021

[Istabraq]

You probably wouldn't expect the Chepstow 5.42 bumper to be significant in the Supreme market but The Bomber Liston makes his debut here, I read that he'll have one bumper run then tackle hurdles and that he's been working well.
There's some 50/1 available now for the Supreme so he may be worth a small play before todays race because if reports are correct he may well win today and if he really is any good that Supreme price will bomb.
Henderson/JP combo will always get plenty of attention...

Queen's Brook only just got home there!
Decent battling attitude but really expected more.
I backed her at 1/3 so was a bit bervy, was hobvering over 12/1 for the Mares Novice Hurdle but that wouldn't be good enough, definitely need to see her again, and see her improve.

Looks like Queens Brook's target is the Bears Bovis Burgle.

Her RPR today was 26lbs behind Shewearsitwell's rating last weekend.

Back to the Giggy novice hurdlers. I’d consider backing the following although only Uhtred and Farouk carry any of my cash. Since my original diary post and subsequent published comments, I’m leaning towards the AB for Farouk now.

Supreme - Uhtred
Ballymore - Eric Bloodaxe
AB - Farouk D’alene

Wild card - Wide Receiver

I was pleased to see Farouk D'alene mentioned by G.E .
Early day's , but i'm thinking Al Bartlett too Jackie.

Yes we discussed him a while back. Originally in my diary I had Farouk for the Ballymore and Eskylane for the AB but I’m thinking they may need switching now.

The Bomber Liston

I don't think the clerk of the course made many friends yesterday, producing horrific ground at this stage of the season, no wonder so many horses were pulled.

As far as I know the plan is still one bumper then hurdling so I'm happy having a Supreme poke at 50/1 and any race 33/1 even though he hasn't visited a racecourse and if he does impress on debut I'll press...

The only information I could find about The Bomber Liston was the older horse by its name and not the one you’ve back? Any idea what his price tag & seasonal expectations??

Nicky Henderson wrote this in his Unibet blog about The Bomber Liston 3 days ago prior to Chepstow, where he was due to run in the Bumper but was a non runner due to the ground being unsuitable.

The Bomber Liston (Nico de Boinville)

He’s a beautiful looking son of Yeats who would have run in the spring but that obviously didn’t happen; if it did it’s very unlikely he’d have been running in a bumper here as we’d have gone straight over hurdles this season, but he’s still quite green and of the bumper horses we have already run, most of them have needed the experience and it could be the same for him but he’s a very nice horse and we’ll find out what he’s made of here.

Brilliant, thanks Norton

Mr Toad on flinteur Sacre:

“He is a full brother to Sprinter Sacre and has very nearly as much quality as his illustrious brother. He was given a lovely introduction by Barry (Geraghty) at Newbury in January and then went to Kempton where he won easily. He has done plenty of schooling and, although he has a lot to live up too, he is a very exciting prospect for novices’ hurdles.”

Pretty positive. I know I am getting carried away but the old romantic in me would love him to be every bit as good as his brother. He couldn’t could he? Eeek.

Some statement that ! I do think he'll end up his top Supreme horse. Going to top up accordingly!
