Mares Novice Hurdle 2019

Mullins said the following on Irishracing.com about Allez Dance - link beloow

“she looked like a nice mare but has had her problems. We’ve run her quite fresh and I wasn’t expecting her to be that good but she obviously has natural ability.

“In France it seemed the more she ran the worse she got, so I said I’d run her fresh and I’m pleasantly surprised to see that she could win a contest like that.

“I hadn’t really thought about it before today but we might give her an entry in the mares novice hurdle at Cheltenham. That’s what she would have been bought for two years ago.”

For me that means she lines up here for sure.

....sea of blue on Oddschecker but Sky still offer 16-1 nrnb.
 
Think it kind of tells you he's got nothing much else in mind for this also.
 
Thought she ran well, hopefully she lines up in March.
 
Excellent news!!! If she’s his first string will go off 5-1!!
 
Thought she would get cut more to be honest, although I’m on At 25’s cashout is still the same after the price reduction

Was fairly happy with today but do agree comments suggest she could be the best he has
 
I still think Epatante is the monster this year.

She just not Mullins but she seems like the one for me. Wouldn’t trade my 8s on her for anything from months ago on this thread.
 
She can't have shown them much at home. They sound surprised...
 
WM said he ran her fresh as she's had her problems. That Suggests they haven't pressed too many buttons at the moment. Preview night vibes will be key.
 
ELFILE a Willie Mullins inmate has been added to the market. Holds a few entries and outstayed Black Tears over 2m4f at Punchestown back in January. Featured on Willie's Cheltenham list at the Open Day. Just saying...

Well Sinoria looks unlikely and Honeysuckle has become easy to back on the exchange since her introduction. That maybe because Epatante is expected to bolt up at Exeter tomorrow but hey... who knows? I didn't make the ownership connection tbf
 
One of the podcasts mentioned Epatante getting a penalty if she wins over the weekend.

If that's true, 1/6 tomorrow looks too short.

No idea of its factually correct though. Only a class 4? Perhaps she was going elsewhere?

I think it's rubbish. She's only won a Class 4 (the same as tomorrow)

These are the penalties:

Penalties, a winner of a Class 2 weight-for-age or Class 1
handicap hurdle race 3lb
Of a Class 1 weight-for-age hurdle race 5lb

I think Hendo toyed with the Dovecote for her and then decided against it when he realised she'd get a penalty if she won there.
 
...good to hear Mrs Harrington give Emily Moon a mention.
