Mares Novice Hurdle 2020

I think as Scooby has said before, novices that win for the first time after 1st February can retain novice status until 30th November, so if her Irish debut is coming late January (for example) with only that one run pre-Cheltenham, then it maybe that they hold on to her for a few days more and run in early Feb instead.

You'll see one before. . . But for the run, they may decide that.
 
Just wondered if I had missed some news on Glancing Queen with her not being out yet?

Had quite a big op in November and only just back walking so will probably be kept for next season rather than being rushed back
 
Is there any news on Fujimoto Flyer for this. Know she’s priced up for triumph and the novices. Just wondered whether anyone had an idea which was most likely at this stage. I’m guessing triumph but clinging onto hope she will be here in view of mares record in triumph.

Yeah, all quiet regarding her. Any entries??
 
Fujimoto Flyer refused to race LTO, and no idea why she hasn't been seen since.

She had a busy time so can see why she's had a break. If she's ok I'd expect her to have one run before the fez. No idea which race though. She is one for TWAR.

She's not one to win any race at all if she's refusing.

Awful trait in a horse :highly_amused:
 
Lamarckise weak
Any news ?
Lack of an entry presumably

Guessing there’s been a stable tour or similar as noticing a lot of mullins’ shorten up.. along with this one drifting slightly (PP biggest price) never a good sign

Joint biggest.

It's a huge worry when they're standout biggest.

....but as you said, it's not a 'good' sign regardless.


They're also biggest price on Dolcita, for context.
 
I wouldn’t be too worried, pretty sure they were never a stand out price on Lamarckise and Maries Rock being backed off the boards last few weeks. Everyone who backed Lamarckise is already on
 
Ignore this....

Lads is there any chance Henderson’s winner at Newbury yesterday in the mares novice hurdle could get entered up in this?

Would love to see that one up the Cheltenham hill but no idea if she has the class to stay with the pace.

...I’m hoping Henderson is keeping My Whirlwind for this but it’s getting a bit late in the day now.
 
Very surprised to see The Glancing Queen in the initial entry stage for the Mares Hurdle.

Possibly an entry in case her recovery allows them to run her this season.

Mares Novice initial entry stage isn't until 25th February, so it's a few weeks to wonder if she may make it back into Mares Novice thinking. A positive early sign for the Festival with todays entry at least.

I could’ve swore Wayne Hutchinson said he would be his no1 ride if still riding for King. This was in the past week so she must be back working unless he’s not privy

Patrick Mullins says re Lamarckise
In training little setback before Christmas - if everything goes right gets a run before chelth and goes mares novices -
'Definitely a mare to keep on the right side of'
'We like her a lot, shes done a lot of nice work'

Perfect. Where have you seen that Crolwey?

Havent seen what patrick said but the only thing shes ever had was a small bit of soreness in her muscles, and missed a few days after a schooling hurdle. She's not been inured what so ever. As you'll see shortly.
