Supreme Novice Hurdle 2019

I posted the below earlier in the week. His jumping was immaculate and was one of the standout performances this season in the UK. Form could be decent too.

I’m still holding out some hope on Mister Fisher coming good after Henderson’s post race comments. The other one I recently caught up on his debut is Eldorado Allen Of Colin Tizzard. He made his debut at Sandown And was up against some Bumper winners including the favourite, Severano, who was also fifth in the Aintree Bumper (good form from that race). Eldorado Allen travelled sweetly throughout, jumped economically, and put the race to bed easily with two great jumps down the home straight and a nice turn of foot.

Yeah a good spot. Very taking.

The Tolworth curse was lifted last season wasn't it - I think he's a nice play at 33s for those who can - if he's having an easy assignment next time out too before a crack at it.

It seems that Tizzard has put a plan in place so if that’s the route then so be it. It would be nice to see him on better ground but I think the weather is turning now so we may see an end to the good ground that’s being hanging around longer than usual.
 
Anyone heard anything about Face The Facts? 104 rated flat horse owned by Wylie. Mullins mentioned him as the horse to watch on a random Youtube interview a few weeks ago.

Not heard anything concrete but as he was a stayer on the flat, I'd predict he'll be heading to the Ballymore or Albert Bartlett. Mullins has had success with ex John Gosden inmates with Nichols Canyon and Thomas Hobson so he could prove decent.
 
No one interested in Epatante for this race? I thought his debut was most impressive. Is this NOT the target?

He is a she so is more likely to go to the Mares novice Hurdle

I was watching the RUK NH season preview, and it only struck me then how many of the top of the market haven't seen a hurdle yet, so backing a mare for the race considering so many unknowns about the race nevermind whether she'll even turn up wouldn't interest me in the slightest.

JM,
I call my cat a he when she's a she:highly_amused:

The mares allowance might come in handy here. I could be miles out with this one but lets see how she gets on in her next race. On reflection, this has been a costly race in the last couple of years.

Interesting race at Ascot tomorrow, Didtheyleaveuoutto vs Thomas Darby.

I'd likely side with the latter.
 
Hope he doesn't come out for this seasons race now but one I noted last season is Breaken.

He is priced @ 50/1 currently, is one for Willie Mullins and the same owners as Melon, is also a brother of Salsaretta. I suspect he will be one for next season, but will be keeping an eye out for him for sure.

As Scooby wrote last year, his form doesn't really amount to much, but has only had one start over hurdles in France finishing 2nd, but cut out a lot of the running in that one and stayed on right to the line. His pedigree suggests he could have a bit of class too. Time will tell.

He's not one for me but should be out hurdling this season if all is well, he's been there since July 2017 according to the exportation

Yeah, only way I see him not out is if he is being held back or there is a problem.

I really liked his hurdles debut, and unfortunately the winner has not been out since so unable to grasp how good that one was. Horses in behind not up to much.

His flat forms really poor too . But Eldorado allens bumper and hurdle wasn't up to much tbf. So best to take a view when seen here
 
Hi All ,

Big fan of this race and have taken a lot out of this forum over the years. Thanks to all contributors, some really good stuff. Time to get involved. Just doing a bit of research , does anyone know anything about Daphne Du Clos for Nicky? Won a listed event beating some nice horses in 2017. Injured thereafter. Nicky notes hopes will be top class in stable tour but nothing else. Not mentioned in Paul Howards book. Not much else on him , not listed in betting for this but just curious if anyone had any insight on him?
 
Don't know much about her wellbeing for this season but she is a mare so there's more chance she goes for the mares Novice than this but I agree her bumper form is solid.
