Novice Hurdlers 2027

The only horse to heat him, Jerry From Kerry, finally won again after 10 attempts and broke his maiden hurdles duck when he won back in June. Not been seen since.
 
Good I really rate him , his bumper run at ascot was some run and 50/1 looks a nice price If he can get him fit
He was good to go about February but they left him off for a full novice season. Same pal, he was my first Supreme bet at 50s also. Tom Malone was waxing lyrical about him last season and backed him for the Supreme himself. I wrongly dismissed Mr. Malone after all the Nicholls flops putting it down to him just being outbid for the better horses but he keeps being proven correct with the horses he got for Nicholls that have since gone to different trainers. I hope this new gallop works at Ditcheat because it would be great to see Nicholls with a clutch of really good horses for the various divisions. He must have admitted to himself that it was he whom has fallen behind and not the stock. Hopefully the gallop works and him and Tom can get the place up and running again rather than trying to find them himself.
 
Windbeneathmywings has a about as much chance of winning a grade 1 hurdle at cheltenham as Moon Racer.
And he had no chance.
Almost a carbon copy with the time off the track.
No doubt they'll be talking of the champion hurdle when he wins his maiden.
That fucking annoyed me that year.

Witches Familiar RPR 138
White Noise won it from 128
Air Of Entitlement - RPR 117
Golden Ace - RPR 121
You Wear It Well - RPR 137 after finishing second in the Challow and winning the Jane Seymour.

I would say that's pretty good.

….Mourne Crystal has had a few mentions on here;

‘He comes over with a big reputation, and we like him a lot. He is not the biggest, but he has plenty of speed. We will start over two, and we think he could be, potentially, smart.’

Possibly more 2m horse from that?

@darlojim I just spotted Mailloche has been entered at Punchestown next week in both 2m and 2m4 Novice hurdles. He's one you fancy a lot isn't he ? ​

Green Hint: I notice that this horse has arrived in betting 25 - 33s. Mullins trained. PP winner. Has run in 3 bumpers (2nd x2 and won at Listowel hard held recently). I am sure this means that he can only get a run in Champion Bumper if he goes there direct and so more likely to be going hurdling now. Owned by Munir & Souede. Sire is Crystal Ocean. Any thoughts guys on likely destination at festival?

Followed Jim and had a little interest for the Supreme months back

However with one entry for 2 1/2 next week then maybe I should cover for the Turners……

Early enough like isnt it

But he's been in the yard for a while now so be acclimatised and all that good stuff, and could just be a case of being ready to go. Ground currently showing as good, g/f in places there at the minute so whether meeting is actually on is another thing. Regarding 2 entries, yeah always worth covering both initially for the novices and go from there.

** we even got a little form boost for him today @ Bordeaux :ROFLMAO:

What price TWAR? If he starts over 2 1/2 then Albert is in play as well maybe?
