2026 Novice Hurdlers

Cosy win for no drama this end in the challow

Looks a very nice horse going forward

Would very much like him in a bartlett but not in a ballymore (or whatever its called now)

He doesnt look like he has the turn of foot required for the 2m4f race to me

Id have liked to have seen him extend away between the 2nd last and last but he didnt

Could be a very nice one for fences next season
 
No Drama This End is just solid.

Done the donkey work there, even had a short lived turn of foot to kick a little bit clear and stayed on well to the line.

Surely the Challow won't produce two Turners winner in a row! Hope it does!
 
Think NDTE wouldn't want it any quicker than it was at Newbury today, won comfortably enough but wasn't really letting himself down on it, be hoping there's some soft in the ground in march, that said he fairly flew from the last under hands & heels, I'm not blown away but I am thinking he's the one to beat at this stage.

Denman would've beat klimt madrik by further than a length wouldn't he? 😂

He does respond when asked, I suspect had he been asked for more he would have obliged and won further.
 
No Drama if you've not backed No Drama for the Turners. 👍
Would need it to be very soft to be competitive IMO.
Backed for the bartlett as he's got a good chance in that as he looks like he just gallops.

Agree with all of this.

I'm so glad he won for all the connections. Would love him to win at Cheltenham but just think there's going to be others(Irish) better, especially in the Ballymore. I think the AB would suit him much more and be the easier race but no idea if connections would feel the same.

Definitely feel he's making the market for the Ballymore. The way things are going, I think i'm just going to back all the Willie outsiders in the Supreme and Ballymore.

Just had a look at the Turners in oddschecker.
Got all the way down to Skylight at 25 before I could see probable opposition to No Drama.Got Skylight covered already so going to leave this race alone for now.

Would love him to win but that is such a bad price. I thought her would have been pushed out after today, not shorten.
Yeah, can’t be backed at that price I agree.
Sure something will come out of the pack and make it more interesting and more competitive book hopefully.
Looks a bit messy right now, hence im
Leaving it alone for a while.
 
Could I ask for people’s opinion on Le Divin Entant, I rather foolishly added that to win the supreme with an accumulator where all the Xmas horses have won. Are we of the opinion it has no chance in the Supreme now and what were your thoughts on its run over Xmas

Depends on what money is down and if you can cash and for what.
But he can be backed on betfair for 6 pounds at 85-1
obviously 50-1 with bookies.

I cashed as I don't think he has a chance.

It’s a £50 acca for 3.5k, cash out shirt betting the 4 winners over Xmas is £36
