    Novice Hurdlers 2027

    Skerry hill's a bit of a conundrum for me atm, trainer quotes, saxons diary ,price reaction do point slightly towards 2miles. But he's out of order st george, thorough stayer, i get its early days for this sire but crikey he's an ascot gold cup winner, dams sire is flemensfirth (ballyburn) is...

    I'd put forward Le Frimeur for the Browns at 33s.....got a 150 rating off the BHA , grade 1 winner at the Punch 2m 7f fest and trainers already said he's a chaser, trainer mentioned that he doesn't respect hurdles and isn't worried about his stamina at all. Browns is the obvious target.

    i've heard nothing about State man not coming back this season, i'd rather have him returning from an injury at 20s over Narcisso has.... If he comes out an wins the Morgiana i could see the 225-1 Stateman -Lossie (MH) double start to look very attractive. I think He's worth a poke at 20s...

    Wonder if Jimmy Du Seuil might revert back hurdling next year, didn't look a natural chaser to my eye. won the Coral off 146 giving impoise 5lbs and 3Lbeating. , loves Cheltenham. Might be lively outsider for the Stayers.

    ‘26 FRED WINTER Juv H’cap Hd

    Like him too. Nothing between him and saratoga on the flat but should a nice pull in the weights with him come march, also Gordon mentioned fred winter for highland C where i presume she'll get the 7lbs allowance ,which she didnt get yesterday, so not sure how saratoga can reverse that form.

    Form line gives Kovanis a Martin pipe boost too...that navan grade 2 was used by better days ahead too before his Martin pipe success.

    Just had a look at sixandahalf and noticed conor stone walsh jocked up on her at Leop, down to 136 in ireland, surely they might be thinking of popping her towards the Martin pipe with Conor on board, generally 40s available.

    Yeah he's a novice for the season, could potentially be one of the highest rated novices around come March.

    2026 Novice Chasers

    Western folds out again tomorrow 2m 7f, only quoted for the gold cup and the national but i believe he's a novice chaser for the season, already 157 OR....Gordon mentioned 'Drinmore maybe but he's one for the spring festivals' could he be one for the browns going under the radar as i guess most...
