2023 Mares Novice Hurdle

[Lobos]

Ashroe diamond, halka du talbert and a few others among the possible runners at fairyhouse on Saturday

An impressive winner would see a threat to luccia as fav

Biggest threat to Luccia might be her stablemate BW now that she's got an entry or three. If BW is impressive she could go MNH and Luccia Supreme as she holds an entry in that. All still up in the air.

Nothing too out of left field in the entries, was hoping for one but maybe not

I'll keep them coming!

Just realised Ashroe Diamond, after taking on the boys all winter, has no entries in any of the 3 Novice Hurdles.

If she goes to Cheltenham, it will be the Bartlett.

Is that guaranteed? To Albert on back of 1 hurdles run. Wowsers. Nice Guy did it so why not !

Yes, if she goes, it will be the Bartlett, according to my information. Of course she will have to run and win at Punchestown next Monday.

Had my first look into this
Magical Zoe's first run out in bumpers, I mean, thats some cheek that was the way she just pathed her path around them all. Impressed how she's won her races.
The search continues though... want something thats a little tough

Definitely has the class for it grade 1 winning on the flat over 2 miles

A little more expletive than I would on here but I have been mentioning to BarrowNH01 and a few others that Ashroe Diamond was being nicely hidden away behind decent sorts like Facile Vega this season and I think she's going to be the main dart for Willie in this.

She has that ‘bleeding obvious’ look about her, could easily be the one that we all look back at and say how did we miss her ?
Is 5/1 value ?
No, but a win next week and/or a poor Luccia update and that 5/1 becomes 9/4.
I’m tempted…

The question is what has he gained bar experience running her like he has with ridden cold instructions? 132 rated the hcap option is there if bring cynical but everyone knows she’s a 140+ type when allowed to go for it.

I don’t quite get it to be honest, someone can pipe in on what I say below.

What is the point in ‘hiding’ her in Grade 1’s with no attempt to win, then go and win a race where you’ll get a penalty in the intended race anyway, makes absolutely no sense to me whatever!

Why not just run on merit in mares races where you’re not going to have any more a penalty whether you win 1, 2 or 3 races (provided it’s not a Grade 1). Wins under the belt, happy owners etc.

Something doesn’t add up for me.

If the bit about hiding her away is aimed at me it's because I don't think she will run in the Solerina and incur the penalty. DRF behind Vega again and then onto the Mares Novices penalty free.

Well said, doesn’t quite stack with me either unless a hcap has been the plan all along? Why not just show true ability, he knows what it takes to win this etc.
