Supreme Novices Hurdle 2020

Asked Joe Chambers when we would expect to see Fly smart to which he replied 'Once he's ready, January I suspect'

Little info is better than no info I suppose

Cocky response :)
 
Henderson: Many people have asked about Shiskin and he worked very well this morning so is ready to go. Ascot is a possible starting point for him as I’m keen to keep him and Chantry House apart. Chantry will run at Cheltenham in a Novice Hurdle next week.
 
See Paddies have finally listed Fly Smart for this race at 33/1, was hoping for a Faugheen style 14/1...haha. Not overly promising but Willie did say he was behind the others a few weeks back, but would hope to see that price contract at some point over the next few weeks before his debut

Wow bigger than expected but they don’t get it all right

It is bigger, but worth remembering they probably have all the others at the head of the market in their books, through early ante post bets, that they can probably get Fly Smart in there too at a bigger push.

I suspect upon entry or connections word he'll go 20's or something, it's what they seem to do a bit this season I noticed
 
Liked that from Festival D'ex. Stiffer 2 miles is perfect IMO.
 
Best ride in the race, the 2 in front were effectively sitting ducks for one to come out of the pack. Did it well enough.
 
Envoi Allen shortened right up again in Supreme betting. Bookies taking the piss. Really haven't a clue where he'll end up.

There are some pretty big clues now.
 
Has anyone heard how envoi A is after last race, sounded like he had a nasty cut?
 
I was there and saw it... they trotted him up and down, showed no signs of pain anyway. Not sure its worth worrying about

Good news.
 
After E.A. race nobody seemed to concerned about the cut. On a slightly different note has anybody else noticed that Malone Road is still being backed for this race on the exchanges, strange considering he's out for the season?
