Supreme Novices 2017

I had 0.5pts on Labaik at 40/1. Was a great start to the festival for me :triumphant:
 
Jamie Codd was one who talked him up at the previews.

This result will haunt me for a while. Was truly sickened and couldn't enjoy the rest of the day. Watched that final furlong preview, read numerous comments about him and hovered over 50s a few days ago and didn't pull the trigger because hes been acting the eejit the last 3 times not wanting to race. Sickest I've felt in a long time.
Well done to the backers.
 
Bunk Off Early ran flat and was never going. Nothing come to light as yet but we know he's a lot better than that.
 
This was one of the hardest races to get any sort of handle on! THe problem is I am not sure how I will learn from my mistakes :highly_amused:
