2026 Juveniles

….Jamie Snowden;

SENATOR​

“We got him in France. He is a National Hunt bred individual by Doctor Dino. He ran twice on the Flat in France and stayed on in both races to finish third.

“He schools well over hurdles. He has not long come back in and we will hopefully give him a run around Christmas time. He looks smart and could be one for the Triumph Hurdle later on.”
 
….Cromwell;

In My Teens​

It has taken her a long time to learn to race properly. She’s very forward-going and keen, she was trying to do everything on one breath. She’s had four runs on the flat, she has a rating of 98 now on the flat, and she could make up into a nice juvenile hurdler. She’s out of Jer’s Girl, who was obviously a great mare for us. She has had a run in a schooling hurdle, and she could have her first run over hurdles in the three-year-olds’ hurdle at Punchestown on Thursday.

Secret Force​

He showed a really good attitude to get up and win an 11-furlong handicap on the flat at Listowel in September on his first run for us, and he was impressive in winning his maiden hurdle at Punchestown last month on his hurdling debut. The plan is to go for the Triumph Hurdle Trial at Cheltenham on Saturday. He’s owned by Jimmy Fyffe, who likes to have runners at Cheltenham.
 
Matin Midi Et Soir not yet in Henry's yard.

"I haven't seen him yet, He is at the owners' farm and i am not sure what the plan is yet"
 
theres a juvenile french horse preview from adam Mills on ffp thats a good starting point for this race if you haven't started thinking about it yet.

I'm half inclined to have a small wager on the other Gredley horse, Kate O'Riley.

She done everything wrong the last day, mad keen, jumped markedly to her right, pretty much everything you'd not want to see, but she's had 5 weeks off to work on that.

It was, at best, an average enough performance, but they've sent out horses early, prior to winning this race, including both East India Dock & Allmankind.

She's a 66/1 (100/1 without cash out) poke for the Triumph. I don't think she's that level (I'm not mad keen on any of them for the Triumph that run on Saturday), but you'll get some sort of value should she prove good enough on Saturday.

Make sure you back her for Saturday as well as she'll be a big price.
 
He said: "Kate O’Reilly, she’s got an entry, she won on debut at Ludlow, she wouldn’t want it too extreme weather wise
 
"We want to see where we are with the juveniles. Hallejulah U will definitely run, he’s done plenty of schooling, we were keen to start him off at Cheltenham, he’s a horse we like a lot.

"He had a high Flat rating, stays well and should handle the softer conditions.

"On ratings I would say Hallejulah U [has the most talent]

Interesting shout this. Bowen booked Saturday as well. Ground a bit of an unknown as it probably is for most of them (not looked).

Clearly second string but their previous winners of this trial all had a hurdle win beforehand...

Precious Man for me, expect him to be able to put them away under the penalty.

You got him down as a lively one for the Triumph or just Saturday?

One to be less worried about the ground for on Saturday...

I'd personally think he'll come up short against the top recruits, and his price wouldn't tempt me in.
