Novice Hurdlers 2027

Those of us who think Saratoga could be a fly in the ointment in the CH will be hoping Bartholomew Frank's the form tomorrow at Naas.

Likewise Darby O'gill in the same race, although could easily be out for a jog

But he's form with Magnifico Conti / Moulins Rouge

Juvenile form is a little tenuous considering the rate a horse could improve for another summer (Or not). Look at Lord Byron... However, us punters take any positives!

You think he's ran on merit this season?

No, but have seen plenty on X using him to suggest the 4yo form is no good. For what it is worth, his last RPR is a stone below what he got when 2nd to KRG. You think he is running to get his mark down? (So far down 5lb though 147 was excessive previously). It's also possible he will be a spring horse. Not unusual for flat bred horses that may of been trained to peak during the warmer months.

mullins seems bullish


"This is a competitive contest, but we’re confident he has what it takes to maintain his unbeaten record over hurdles and make it two wins from two."
