2026 Novice Hurdlers

[Lobos]

Act Of Innocence backed like defeat was out of the question and duly obliged.

Got some solid bumper form. Maybe Nicky's Supreme dart?

Also, he was the horse that Constitution Hill made light work of in their Newbury 'day out'....just saying

Sober Glory form gets another tick .

 

[Black Dog]

Act of Innocence introduced into the Supreme and Turners markets at a top price of 25/1(with cashout).

 

[Odddog]

Love Me Tender, Eachtotheirown, Gameball, Koktail Brut & Port Authority among the declarations for the Royal Bond on Sunday.

Love Me Tender has to give the whole field weight.

I was very taken by Noel Meade's BLAKE at Down Royal and I think he will go really well in the Royal Bond at a nice price

 

[Lobos]

Port Authority gone right under the radar imo.

 

[Carnage at Taunton]

Port Authority gone right under the radar imo.

Not any more now you’ve mentioned him

 

[Lobos]

Not any more now you’ve mentioned him

Probably be hiding in the bin tomorrow after I've jinxed him...

 

[Exar Essay]

Gameball at 10/1 looks a great price. I’ve had a bit on him EW. Henry’s form seems okay too still.

It’s a really hot race though. The deepest Royal Bond for a few years.

….Mullins;

Love me Tender;
He’s been doing everything right on the racecourse as his form figures show and I was very happy with his performances to date. The Royal Bond is usually a hot race but hopefully he’s good enough to prevail.

Money had come before the 2 non runners. Looks like a poor renewal now!

Fingers crossed for you EE. Could be inspired pick.

You in the know??

 

[Benjy23]

Not knocking the pick like but it's surely about the same price given the 45p rule 4? Did the money really come...

 

[ComplyOrDie]

I'm expecting Koktail Brut to win now.

Also have him down as a Turners type, so covered him for this race before he goes in today!

It does! In the blink of an eye.

@Lobos Not in the know. Just felt like he was being massively overlooked. Very impressive at Ballenrobe in his bumper and equally as taking in his maiden hurdle when moving to Henry’s.

I bet it at 16.5 on BFX. My bet is now worth 9.1. He’s currently 6.8.

So perhaps a little.

….PP have left him at 66-1 TWAF.

 

[Yosser]

I haven't entertained Gameball as a festival horse. I have Mister Pessimistic above him (Just on the Yosser ratings, nothing else ) and have backed for both Supreme and Turners at big prices. The only reason i have left Gameball out of my thinking is because of Minella Machine but he could be either campaigned as a bumper horse, brought out in the spring or both. If he doesn't appear then i would concede that he has Gameball as one of his top novices. Interesting to see how he goes today.

 

[Lobos]

Why were the two pulled??

 

[ComplyOrDie]

Cracking race that, even if it was a bit sub par!

Was expecting Koktail Brut to win by further but job done, anyway!

Definitely needs to go out in trip.

 

[Kauto’s star]

Belter of a race. Was on the second, just missed the last and hung. Devastated!

 

[darlojim]

As a non backer of nothing in that race for March, probably exactly how you'd want the race to go

Gordons really gritty there, without something special in the race
