2023 Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle

Rooster Booster said:
He seems immature to me and I’d be concerned about whether he is streetwise enough for this. It’s not just that he has only had 2 runs but how he has conducted himself in those runs. Kind of like he’s not really sure what he’s meant to be doing. His win was against a similarly green and inexperienced horse. I think he has the ability but he needs to have learnt an awful lot from his last run imo. At the prices you simply have to cover him no doubt and I have and I see him as one of the best long term prospects in the race I’m just not sure he’ll be mentally ready just yet.

A very fair point - there's no doubt he was bought as a future chaser. The 33's (and higher) were wrong but he is now around the right sort of price.
UPDATE: Having listened to Eddie O'leary on Nick Luck Daily, he may not be going in this. He mentioned Favori De Champdou and Search For Glory but nothing about Shanbally Kid. Watch this space.

Embassy Gardens boosted 9-1 Hills. They are best price 7-1.

Some 10/1 on the exchange ... so maybe that's a closer refelection to what price he should be.

R4H, can I bin my multiple including Grangeclare West? Not heard anything since his desperate run at the DRF.
