2026 Novice Hurdlers

Ground looks very lively .
 
I don’t think so, Elliott’s was about 3 lengths up and won by about 8, granted a pretty poor jump at the last by LD but didn’t find much at all.

As above, just might not be that good but if the Doctor is turned over not looking great I’ll be sticking to the cloud over the yard.
Agree to disagree then
Too much happening for further discussion
 
Sort of don't mind Willies getting beat now as not done many for Cheltenham so might get bigger prices plus NRNB.
 
The drift on DDM is massive. Can't be expecting a big run
 
No idea what won that. Looked like ddm finished 2nd.

He looked slow.

El cairos wouldve won on the snaff by a long way.

Looked like a little motorbike
 
El Cairos very unfortunate there, did everything right and always had DDM covered, very nice horse just hope he's all good after that slip/fall.
 
Did El Cairos get up OK? Looked like hosing up, very unlucky stumble.
 
There’s another one ran

Yet his turn of foot in his bumper was night and day.

Definitely something not quite right, the drift also tells a bit of a story.

Elliott’s are flying.

WPM’s are not.
 
Mullins horses running awfully. Badly badly badly out of form
Be interesting to see how the ones who have already run go

As all season theyve been rubbish in the main on first run

Neither leader dallier or DDM looked like they had close to enough pace for 2 miles on this ground.

Probably off the list for the supreme and the turners in my eyes as it stands. Unless they look a lot lot better next time.
 
DDM looked a big old lump compared to EC there, one looked like a nimble little 2 miler, one looked like a big bruising 3 miler, to me anyway.

Wasn't it the same last year at this meeting or was it in 2023? Then a day or so later he was back with a bang

I backed Leader but there’s no way you can be happy with that tbh. Very very poor
