2023 Supreme Novices Hurdle

[Brooksie]

Out of sheer boredom played Ittack Blue at 1000/1 on the exchange with a view to trading out if somehow he manages to beat Luccia tomorrow. Pretty unlikely, but if it did happen or at least ran well I'd probably be able to green up. Only one entry at the festival, could well be Aintree bound regardless though. :watermelon:

Winning trainer Wilie Mullins said: “He didn't jump as fluently as I was hoping he would but he showed a nice turn of foot.

“I think he is possibly Supreme Novice-bound if Simon and Isaac want to go there.

“I'm not sure that he stays, the couple of times we've tried him over longer trips he hasn't been up to it yet.

Not a bad play,whatever happens he could be a real good novice chaser next season,proper unit he is.

Yep, definitely not a Stayer. Supreme or County off a ridiculous weight or don't go. Probably the last one.

Interesting that Willie called him a stayer in stable
tours and Patrick said he’d want further than 2m last week.

 

[Carnage at Taunton]

Interesting interview with Hendo there.
Thinks Luccia for Mares Novice, but Nico talking about Supreme, and they have 4 weeks to decide.

 

[The Fellow]

Nico not got a ride in the Supreme them

MNH looks less competitive. Only two or three to beat in that and it is likely to cut up imo. She could end up a CH horse next year if the monster goes chasing.

I can't see Nicky folding on that one.

I can't see Nicky folding on that one.

Agreed.

She will go to the MNH and then after Cheltenham, if she's thought good enough to take on the boys, she can do that at Aintree in the Grade 1 NovH over 2M that stablemate Jonbon won last season.

I agree the mnh is more likely, but I do think discussions will be had, and with the trainer having nothing else in the Supreme, the temptation will exist.
She would certainly add to the race.
I hope it happens, be very interesting.

They have 100% given up on Jet Powered, haven't they? I've heard nothing recently.

It does seem that way

Wouldn't blame them. The form of his two races is toilet too. Ittack Blue, Inneston, Jupiter De Gite have all ran like drains since.

Space Voyage who was ahead of him last time has won, so maybe there’s hope after all :excitement:

I wasn't around much for the hoo ha of Facile Vega's defeat. Clearly he had issues on the day, and was put out in front like it was Jonbon vs Dysart in last seasons Supreme all over again, so my question to those who were very keen on him beforehand, IF Facile Vega turns up in the Supreme, fit and well (which he'd have to be to be declared you would hope), can you forgive him the run at the DRF and will he still be your number one for the race?

I think the market has already answered that for you mate.
Can't remember what he was pushed out to after the race, 6/1 rings a bell, but has been shorted every since and is now what, 3/1 ?

You may well be right mate, I think Boyles went 6/1 and that was it, the majority were 7/2 when I looked, I think, and he's still 10/3 so not a huge change really.

I had basically nothing on him before but went in after he drifted. He is categorically is my number one for the race and IMO it's easy to forgive what happened last time.
