2024 Triumph Hurdle (Juveniles)

All eyes on Kador De Ciergues Auteuil 10.37 today

Finished 10L behind Sir Gino and Mundi on his debut before hosing up in the Mid Dancer next time out by 8. Much stronger opposition today but backers of Gino and Mundi will be hoping he runs a nice race today to further boost the form.

….a long way 4th of 4, didn’t pick-up from 2 out, the heavy going might not have helped.

He'd ran with enough credit on heavy on debut Eggs, I'd say he's performed well under expectations there, he was getting squeezed along passing the post with a circuit to go and didn't jump with any fluency at all. The winner looks exciting though!

If you like Majborough, might be time to get on.

Josh of LTR has given him a rave review and one or two bookies have quickly cut.

What's his rave review based on?
Just seen the video. Willie gave him as a horse to follow to Emma Nagle at the open day too. He's on the list but so are about 10 juveniles this year. Hard to narrow things down.

Josh wants to trade him....
 
16s across the board at the moment. And as JackieMoon33 says he's one of a load that have been hyped already. I'd rather take a shorter price after seeing them all to be honest.

25s my cut off :excitement:

He's not one that actually interests me, but it would be about right that the one Willie horse I haven't backed for the race goes and wins it :highly_amused:

The RPR's achieved this season are incredibly low on previous seasons for the French lot, which is one of the reasons I was more inclined to go with Bunting as my main early play in the race. His flat RPR, although not up, but based on what he beat, must have been around the 90 mark. The ones in behind have run up to RPR's of 105 & 85 since then, and he's fairly hammered them. Vauban ran a 74 on debut then finished on 101 (4th run) before switching to Willie. Obviously flat runs do not translate directly to hurdle form as jumping a hurdle is a completely different ball game altogether, but it's certainly a guide, at least for me.

Very good spot! Any thoughts on reasons for this? Seems anything with form lines through Jigme has an elevated RPR. Would make Leon Du Berlais interesting if anyone has/will snap him up. Four runs, improving every time and form ties in well. Could be an ideal type to go straight into the Fred Winter...

I think he's still in France at the moment :encouragement: If that changes I'm sure this forum will be one of the first places to note it though :victorious:

No real thoughts on why the RPR's are so low, other than as you note, Jigme being the standout, although even he was only given 113 for his debut.

20/1 used to be my cut off for similar reasons

Getting harder and harder to stick to each season.

Prices move (sometimes correctly) and that skews it

Stick to your guns, deal with FOMO
 
…looks like Wodhooh’s victory hasn’t impacted this market.
 
Willie mentions Triumph or Mares Novice for Kargese. She won a hurdle race in March so doesn't qualify for the Mares Novice.
