Supreme Novice Hurdle 2019

Think Sky will be around New Years, although it’s getting earlier and earlier
 
Would you not be better waiting for NRNB now Kev?
The supreme is normally the first race its offered on and I’m sure Sky went really early last year - but can’t remember if it was before Xmas.

Id be suprised if he's not alot shorter nrnb.
 
Skybet went NRNB on this race about December 18th last year and all races on January 9th. The latter matched by Bet365 and PP.
 
Everything of Willie's just gets instantly halved in price with NRNB.

Do you remember by any chance when there money back first race of each day went live?
 
I sure Blackbow will be out around Christmas along with all his other horses that have not run yet.

I think a lot of the 'better' ones will be out around this period, and the delay being how behind they are with their work due to the weather etc...

Quite a few trainers have come out and cited this as a problem this season.

In a way it may work in punters' favour, as NRNB will kick in and we won't have seen some of them yet, so the price should not be affected quite as much.

Sorry I don't. I checked somewhere else for the Skybet NRNB dates and there was no mention of the first race offer. Wasn't it only on the day?

I don't think so?
I'd imagine him to get trimmed to 16s at best NRNB ... of he's not had a run.
If he runs before then (which I also expect) I'll be too late?

I remember being able to do it in the run up to cheltenham.

Was the Friday before at least. I'll be able to check tonight as I will have it recorded
 
Has anyone thought about DOWNTOWN GETAWAY for this?

Could be back with a bang Friday and was mentioned as a Cheltenham horse last season.

Yep as the owners have tornado flyer for the ballymore. Alot to prove though after just the 1 bumper run going in on testing ground at big odds and beating a limited opponent in remastered.
 
Good. Agreed could be a double at the festival for them!

LONE WOLF not a bad type to be beating 17lengths. Valuable sale encouraging highly thought of, also Nicky saying he can't wait to have him out over hurdles.

The lone wolf that turned up on debut isn't the same 1 that won at punchestown. Was his 1st run anywhere. But I'll give it the benefit of doubt.
 
True, was DOWNTOWN GETAWAY's debut aswell though.
 
Trying to judge form lines using most Joseph O'brien horse's is very difficult indeed.
 
Paul Townend was on Friday Night Racing this week. Highlights Next Destination for the season and also touches briefly on Annamix...(approx 26:55)

Paul didn't want to say too much with regards to Annamix but his reaction and face tells a story IMO. Clearly held in high regard, but as he also said, will need to show it on a track now.

I don't think we will see Annamix much before the festival, at max probably 2 runs prior to the Supreme, but could well go with just the one before.
