Mares Novice Hurdle 2020

Scooby91 said:
Surprised nobody has mentioned colreevy, nice performance today, it was stayers to the fore last year with all the pacey 2 milers beaten.

I'm certainly happy I have her covered anyway.

I did in my own thread :p after you badgered me about it.


8s with PP

20s with WH.

Even though I'm on her already I had to go in again before, as couldnt believe Hills remained unchanged at 20/1. Still there now which is very surprising. Lamarckise and Dolcita may prove to be better, but as we stand right now, she has the best form in the book to my eyes.

20/1 is silly. I see no reason why she wont go to the mares nov, the owners/ breeders are big supporter of the program and they stated at the start of the season that it was the target. She has as much pace as last years winner, that's for sure. And stays every bit aswell.

Theres actually not many here with a huge amount of pace behind the bridle, Henry's horse minella melody is a stayer, so are all of Gordon's. It dosent look a speed test to me.

Think we've had this conversation before when you thought she might run in the royal bond.
Would probably need ground and pace to be in her favour for this race, or they change the distance to 3 miles.
Willie might not even run her in this, and go for the bartlett actually.
definite stayer.

So shes a staying type. But minella melody isn't?
Bit harsh to ship 1 to the bartlett and not the other if that's the way you ship colreevy.

Yeah I agree with all of that. Was just about to say last years winner is definitely a stayer. Suppose the only negative could be if the ground came up a bit quicker this year.
 
Heaven help us today boosted the form of Floressa for this. I know most are on the Mullins talking horses but right now I think she has the best form on offer and 10-1 is a fair price still.

The forms easy to read, jeremys flame was bang there. Gordon's mare made a howler and still beat her. She might not have come off the bridle without that.

I'd fancy daylight katie to have floressa covered.
 
Couldn't have Floressa on my mind for this for the same reasons as scooby has said above.

I've a feeling Colreevy will be put in against the boys.

Was at Newbury when Floressa won and she did it very easily. Not got her in my portfolio yet but should add her. Agree that Colreevy looks like she needs a trip. Don't see her going for this unless the ground is deep.

Iv seen the mares nov name checked about 4 times by trainer and owners. as we saw last year they've no issue running multiple horses.
Shes also been shortest price with PP all year.
And ultimately, I fancy her to finish infront of dolcita too.

Have bet Colreevy only for MNH as had read quotes, surprised you think she’ll finish in front of Dolcita

Up until last year Mullins favs won the race but last years first and second have encouraged me to back a few of Willies

Know you’re big on Lamarckise what dangers do you foresee , mind after last year that’s probably a stupid question?:)

A held up daylight katie I'd be very wary of.

Colreevy getting a soft lead and kicking, id be very wary of.

Dolcita not so much, but travelling into the race and winning I suppose. Iv backed her as much for cover of lamarckise. And knowing what price she would go, but right now lamarckise is fine.

And also lamarckise herself picking something up late. Theyre yet to decide whether to go now, or wait for the 1st of feb. As going after the 1st of feb would mean she retains her novice status after the mares nov, all the way until the 1st of december. "A technical detail" they're considering.
But not an issue.

Cheers Scooby. I’m sure I speak for everyone when saying we’re very grateful for the little snippets of info such as this. Putting the horse up at 33s for us all was one thing (I’d have never backed her at the time without seeing your post) but the up to date insights since about her with the rumours that have circulated about her are another ball game.

I'd rather not, would take an age ! Not sure why you would want me to as pretty much every bet I've done I've posted on here. After the incredible last two days I've had with regards my Fez AP bets I wouldn't want to Jinx it either. Long may it continue. Maybe this year will be my year, LOL !

Struggling with this race since the withdrawal of Gypsy Island and been having a look at some with better odds.

Does anyone know anything about Estelle Ma Belle ?

I notice it came second to Mr Everest in a maiden hurdle at Galway in August in its only run for WPM and has had no entries since.

Scooby perhaps
