Mares Novice Hurdle 2020

More nods to Gypsy Island through collateral form there though with Larquebuse winning!

Yep.
Concertista disappointing.
Backed Minella Melody on strength of todays race.
Watched her hurdle debut again and she looked like she enjoyed it
17.5-1 WH

Form boosts AOTS. Gordon cited Daylight Katie about a month ago as his dark horse to follow for the season. She followed up her win at Fairyhouse with another win at Down Royal and looks quite smart. Chased GI home at Punchestown in her last bumper race
 
I'd imagine Concertista has either not stayed or wasn't fit there. The two that've won there are average enough. Henry's drifted like not expected of much and her other challenger was a faller.
 
Didn't like how the winner made up so much ground myself. Would treat the form with a bit of caution

Not sure how good value of last years Mares Novice is.....winner was not great other day

Prob better mares......not least Gypsy
 
It’s the second time Larqubuse has finished like an absolute train, the first time she only got second this time she got up to win.

Outside of those two finishes she’s been a pretty uninspiring mare

The winner was giving 6pds to Stormy Ireland though! She only finished 2.25Ls behind Reserve Tank at Punchestown. Judging by the fact they let her run with the weights against her and the way she dropped away i'd say she needed the run. She'll also want a trip this year too.
 
The only thing we learned there is the strong travelling concertista doesn't want 2 1/2 on heavy ground. Which I expect we all knew but she needed a run.

Obviously 33s now, and is a huge price.

I've just backed Concertista at 33/1

Too big of an over reaction for a horse I'd missed the price on.



To assume Mullins can't get her to peak in March would be madness and if she reproduces last years 2nd, I don't know if that'd be good enough, but at 33/1 I'll pay to find out

Lamarckise cut by BFSB/PP today from 12/1 to 9/1.

Entry on Thursday at Thurles (along with Dolcita). Hopefully we get to see her out

Managed to pinch some 12's before it went. Caved in on GI as well today. My 💰 moved market by the looks of it !

Yes - I'm on as well. Massive over reaction, She was nowhere near today and will be a different horse on better ground if she gets to March. The added advantage is that today makes the possibility of her going for The Mares Hurdle less likely. Great e/w bet. The problem with a lot of the selections put forward for this race is that they are NOT trained by Willie Mullins. When will you learn?

Where’s that Kev? Hills 8, B365 16
 
Think 33-1 is an over reaction.
But - that wasn't good today. Whatever way you want to excuse it.
It doesn't take much imagination to consider the form of last years mares novice to be a little off/obscure.
It's about who progresses I suppose.
And they all deserve a chance to improve over the season.
 
Gypsy absolutely being smashed across the board. Price being blitzed. Crazy stuff. Clearly she is unbeatable. I'll take it all back. Move over Mullins, we have a new kid on the block.
 
I’m on at big enough prices but let’s not act like we haven’t seen this all before with unbeatable JP Mares

Apples Shakira?
Eptante?

2 in the last 2 years who were smashed in and flopped

Agree but this feels different especially in this race and this early and, most importantly, without even seeing her this season. Think she must be special. Envoi like!
