Narciso Has Out to 16/1 after that. Personally would expect that form to be turned around next time

Wouldn't be so sure on that

Mange Tout be 4lb better off next time, which will probably equal race fitness for Narciso maybe

2 nice juveniles though!

Think if you have AP slips on either of the first two, you will be happy. Winner progressing nicely, more progress if the jumping improves a little. Nice race by second, jumping was mainly very good.

I'm happy
 
Lovely from Mange Tout.

Will be getting more weight come the festival too.

Think she'll prove better with a stiffer test as well.

Live one!

Great to see the hood have such a positive effect too, that'll be staying on now :ROFLMAO:

Jumped the odd 1 scruffy enough too, very impressed.

I do wonder if that performance will give them something to think about on running Matin or not, something to question in the next few weeks

Very fair

Half tempted to go in again :ROFLMAO:

Just rewatched back, and I don't know if its just Mark Walsh (as I hate him being on a hurdler) but Narciso seemed a little sluggish away from plenty of the hurdles. Not the best camera angle to analyse properly, but was bumped away from the back of a fair few, and he didn't really miss the last all that much, Mange Tout was just much quicker away and slicker.

….that initial 40-1 WTAF really got a haircut in the lead up to the race.

She did look very professional today. Think she'll improve again as well.

Yeah she was real good

A bit sloppy at odd one or 2 when stuck on the rail but was great over the last 2 in the clear, and backed up that impressive hurdling performance on stable debut

Lots more tougher tasks ahead

Next on the list looking forward to

Proactif
Manlaga

Presume they'll be both out between now and Xmas

Then maybe

Matin midi et Soir
Charme de faust

DRF.

Willie seemed keen on getting Charme De Faust out so i think that one will appear. Just that one and Majolique to complete the Trumph book. Not backing Narciso but would back Matin on an entry.

Out of interest. Did you hear any news on Maskina from the Charme race? Did she stay in France?

I’d be disappointed if atleast one of those weren’t more classy

Yeah but think Ricci/Chambers did a piece after that and said she was one for next year, so will be entry watching for her

Maskina won't be sold.

I missed that. Cheers Darlo. Will keep they eyes peeled for entry then. They are planning a quiet one with Karak De Faust too so they may be getting their 2027 squad in place.
 
Looking forward to Manita of Riccis as well. Will be out in New Year but maybe worth the wait
