2016 Supreme Novices

[mayo]

Anyone else baffled as to why Bellshill turns up here, after the last flop willie and ruby both suggested a step up in trip, i know they now have yorkhill for the neptune but personally i would have preferred two bullets at yanworth rather than one against min

Presume up for Review goes to bertie bartlett so wanted one in each

Anyone think Charbel has decent EW claims?

Me. On fresh, dead ground is may be set up for front runners with a big bias. I'm sure this began to happen a few years ago but can't remember which festival but it did seem quite informative.

Charbel is under rated here for lesser connections and 25/1 has seemed massive for me. Are those quotes above from Henderson? If so, it's very interesting as we're guessing at how good Brain Power is but he must be useful if NH has chosen to comment on Charbel's chances here.

That said, my Charbel hopes rest more on the back of his yanworth form. That thing could well be a proper superstar as King isn't the type to throw quotes around such as ''maybe the best i've ever trained'' etc. It could be that you could be firmly put in your place by that one but still be competitive in a supreme and you have to factor in how well yanworth goes on soft against how better charbel looked on better so it could have been half a race if conditions were different when they met!
