2026 Novice Hurdlers

….Sober Glory boosted 20-1 NRNB with Hills.
 
….Ballyfad likely to go Turn according to Eddie O’Leary/Nick Luck.
 
King Rasko Grey, Sortudo, Ballyfad, I'll Sort That, No drama this end, Act of Innocence, Skylight Hustle?

Is the turners the easier option for MP, beginning to wonder.
 
Imagine Paul will ride Leader D, Rasko and Doctor S across the 3 novices
Sortudo Turners


Is that 100% Turners Sortudo?

Looking at the exchanges suggests the only horse going Supreme is Leader D'allier? Is that all Willie wants to throw at the race this season a maiden hurdle winner?

Mighty Park - Faugheen reincarnated
King Rask - 3rd in a grade 1
Sortudo - Basically won a grade 1 at Naas when you adjust for having to carry P Mullins.
Sober - Moscow Flyer winner

Supreme

Leader D'allier - Beat Straight John

Crazy work from Willie if thats the case xd

Would you not fire more darts at the most winnable race?

I was under the illusion they want to maximise their chances of festival winners over the whole week, maybe I'm wrong.

If they can't have Mighty Park beat at Closutton it's only winnable by one of them.
 
….according to Road to Cheltenham on X, Idaho Sun will miss the Supreme.

I just envisage them sat around a desk with 2 monitors. BHA Dec page on one, betfair on the other, adding money to the lay side each time they take him out lmao

Exchange is suspended to avoid this behaviour unfortunately... I like the image though.
