2023 Novice Hurdlers

[Native River]

He won well on debut too, Nicky thinks he wants another half a mile. Guessing Jet Powered is still the supreme no 1 for the yard.

Nicky already mentioned about him needing to go up in trip eventually and he shaped like he would take to that well, wonder if Ballymore could be at the back of his mind incase someone like Firestep has any problems

Henderson's looked good in a very decent race in the first today. Altior colours. Could be quite smart. I'll keep an eye on him.

Master Chewy still winless after five starts. He was third in that Million Pound Point to Point.

What did Il etait temps rating go up to after his Novice hurdle win?

Looking at the RP, 137? or is that what he was rated going into that race

I’m going to put up Hiddenvalley Lake as one for the Albert Bartlett for the following reasons:

1) Would probably have won his point to point had he not been carried out at the last by a loose horse when 2 lengths clear.
2) Bought for ?200k, so clearly well regarded
3) Won on his novice hurdle debut against 22 other runners when Henry’s horses weren’t running well.
4) Entered up over 3m at Cork tomorrow
5) If he makes it to the festival with promise, will almost certainly have Rachel on board.
6) 25-1 seems a reasonable price based on the above.

I really hope that cork goes ahead tomorrow, looks like that 3m hurdle race could be informative with regards to the albert bartlett.
Cool survivor, hiddenvalleylake and one I have backed for the bartlett monbeg park.

7) He's by Sholokhov

8) Santonito didn't exactly boost the form when struggling home the other day

 

[Cheltenham Novice Chase]

8) Santonito didn't exactly boost the form when struggling home the other day

Santonito beat 17 others horses home and Elliott has already said he’s starting his off slower this year. Had he not won your point may hold but he did despite that.

9j But the 5th home has come out and won as well as the 12th home and the 9th home was running a good race before falling close to home.

10) No one has picked the eventual Albert winner at this time of year in over 10 years....

In which case the more horses discussed the more we can rule out...good news all round I’d say

what facts do you have to support that statement? Perhaps you could share them.

Well it’s good to know someone did it over 10+ years ago, so that goes to show it’s possible. What’s your fancy?

Think he’ll be beaten by Monbeg Park tomorrow personally I’d Cork gets the green light.

No facts at all. Can't remember anyone in here picking the winner at this point, can you ??. Well, I've backed GW in a Trixie with Mullins other Novices. Am I confident.....nooooooooooo !!

 

[Cheltenham Novice Chase]

Yeah. He’s good too, especially with respect to tomorrow. With regards to the festival though surely the trainer factor comes into play. Willie, Gordon and Henry seemed to have pulled a long way clear in recent years, Out of interest, would you back Monbeg Park for the festival?

Well Monkfish won by 11 lengths roundabout this time in 2019 so I would imagine a lot of people would have latched on to him, right? Now Hiddenvalley Lake hasn’t done that yet but if had he wouldn’t be 25-1.

Can't remember anyone mentioning Monkfish no.
The Albert is an enigma. We should all probably ignore it and bet on the day. Strange but true

I thought it was decided after Facile has won the Supreme and Gaelic does the business in the Ballymore that Grangeclare West goes and dots up in the Spud race and makes many Fat Jockeys rich.

Case Solved

 

[nortonscoin200]

Gaelic Warrior into 10-1 for the Ballymore with 365.
