Looked a decent horse on debut. That race has had some good horses win and place in it previously (Monmiral, Pic D'Orhy, Goliath Du Berlais, Master Dino). They've bought him along more slowly than I expected so I don't know if he's had a setback.

I'd expect him to win today if he has improved as you'd expect from his first run.

Hermes Baie also running today over two and a half miles.
 
The Model Kingdom entered again next weekend at Killarney in a 2m maiden

Are U Wise To That also entered on Sunday at Uttoxeter. Also entered in this race is a decent horse called Colony Queen rated 89 on the flat. It will be an interesting race if they meet.
Also entered in the Huntingdon race on Tuesday is another promising youngster from the Jonjo stable called Collectors Item. He finished second on his only two starts last season but both horses that beat him are really well-regarded with one of them winning the grade 2 bumper at Aintree on his last start of the season.

Did Brazil not already win a Novice Hurdle last year and the Boodles?

Can still run in Novice races up to a certain date this year I think

Just to add to Lobos comment, I believe it was extended til the end of November this season, but that was BHA so not sure on dates in Ireland

Spot on here. To confirm, HRI rule is as follows:

For the purpose of the 2022/2023 National Hunt Season: "Novice" for hurdle races means a horse which has not won a hurdle race prior to 1st May 2022. However, any horse which wins a hurdle race for the first time from 1st February 2022 up to and including 30th April 2022 (other than a Grade 1 Weight For Age Hurdle) will be qualified as a Novice for the period up to and including the 4th December 2022.

The Novice Hurdle looks pretty hot doesn't it with Brazil in there and flying the Gaelic Warrior form. The race has produced a festival winner in Penhill who won that season's Albert Bartlett. The winner of Sundays race should be festival quality you would hope.
