2026 Juveniles

I wouldn't say it was a given

We don't know how he would have taken to the course, the big field etc.

We seen Proactif just not adapt to the race yesterday and was under the pump very early in the race.

Would Narciso Has have been able to dictate ahead of FW, and if not, how would he reacted

All if, buts and maybes, but impossible to be confident either way for sure.

The race time was comparable to the County Hurdle and you’d struggle to find stronger 2m handicap hurdle form than Wilful’s this season. The trio of Alexei, Wilful and Hot Fuss keep upholding their connected form. Wilful is borderline Champion Hurdle class and Alexei would have comfortably placed in it if his legs hadn’t been skittled at the last.
 
I doubt narciso would have won

Hed have been on the pace and this was one of the few races that favoured midfield and hold up horses.

Highest finishing prominent runner was 7th

I wouldn't be so sure myself.

Form line with Selma put him bang there, not to mention his forte in the races we have seen was leading & quickening from the front and sustaining. Just because one or two horses failed to do so I wouldn't be putting him in the same bracket myself!

Don’t see how anyone could be sure!!
Either way
