Supreme Novice Hurdle 2019

“All of our horses have been re-vaccinated, some last Saturday and the others, which I was hoping to run this weekend, were forced to have theirs done midweek so they are further behind than some of the others which is not ideal at all.“

Is this enough time before the Festival for Hendrsons horses to be back to tip top form?

Who else is re-vaccinating this week? It is going to have an impact, isn't it?
The only one I know for certain that vaccinates in January is PFN because he disappeares to the West Indies for a couple of weeks when his horses aren't running
 
Tizzard also.

WM has had to do his, did his as soon as he was instructed to. Henderson, Olly Murphy this week. Not sure on Elliott?
 
Doesn't look to be entered in the race on Sunday anymore. As I've been saying I think it's likely he hasn't had his flu jab. Hopefully Nicky will update in his blog later. Certainly not an ideal prep

I'm thinking that their waiting for Al dancer to run first and decide from there.
 
makes the tolworth look better that Grand sancy form

Although I’ve backed others, I’ve always said it will take a good horse to get by Elixir De Nutz.
 
Angels Breath has had his jabs, wonder if they will keep him for Aintree?
 
Had Al Dancer today at 11/4, my main reason was if he wins well and they pull AB out then I am still quids in..

He won very well today but a 20/1 2nd & 100/1 3rd does doesn't scream class field, so I will still being hoping AB runs in the supreme, if not hey ho..
 
Good to see Nigel's lad Willie is taking after his dad.
"Best horse they've ever had".
And owner was asked what plans and he said supreme then champion hurdle.
they'll all be lucky they don't blow up in the boozer tonight.
