Supreme Novice Hurdle 2019

A trip to Musselburgh could be on the cards for stablemate Itchy Feet, with Murphy leaning towards the Sky Bet Supreme Scottish Trial Novices' Hurdle.
He said: "We might go to trials day at Musselburgh with Itchy Feet, then go to the Supreme. He is rated 142, and I think everyone has forgotten about him. He has won a Listed race and was second in a Grade Two, giving Colin Tizzard's horse (Elixir De Nutz) weight. We have given him a winter break, and we will have him ready for the spring."



Adding Itchy Feet at 40/1 - I agree, Olly.

Man crush confirmed

I've backed at 50s and still think he's overpriced at 40s May well top up. Form has been franked and now confirmed as the target race.
 
I remember there was a suspicion in the fred winter thread last year

How many do you have for the supreme now? :)

I think he has less than me...one of my primary objectives is to have backed more horses than Kev in the Supreme, will post all my bets before the Festival....will take me an age ��
 
Olly Murphy confirming Thomas Darby & Itchy Feet aimed at Supreme

Olly Murphy is considering stepping Thomas Darby up in both class and trip in the Mansion Bet Sidney Banks Memorial Novices' Hurdle at Huntingdon.

The Wilmcote handler has earmarked the extended two-mile-three-furlong Listed contest on February 7 as a potential target for the six-year-old.
The form of the Diana Whateley-owned gelding was given a significant boost on Saturday when Elixir De Nutz, whom he defeated on his hurdles debut at Cheltenham, claimed Grade One honours in the Tolworth at Sandown.
Murphy said: "We might look at running Thomas Darby in the Sidney Banks. I won't be running him, though, when it gets really soft. He will have one more run, then go for the Supreme.
"A good gallop over two miles is what he wants, but he should be fine over the trip in the Sidney Banks as long as he settles. We were giving the winner weight at Kempton (Mister Fisher) - and it was on ground he didn't like, and he was a bit keen. It was a good run - and the handicapper thought so, because he has put him up another 2lb. We've not seen the best of him yet."

Bit random to step TD up and then say hes coming back down. There's plenty of 2m races. .
Western Ryder went there last year but he was 100% going ballymore to the last second until the ground.

Sitting at ten, but was hoping for the 365 birthday present and it'll be back down to 6
 
With 30 minutes to go, 11 entries for the Moscow Flyer on Sunday. They represent 3 trainers and 3 owners.
 
Slight money for Aramon and a drift for QG suggests he could be the Mullins representative.

QG is injured according to Emmet on Final Furlong Pod. Had heard he was not in Mullins yard over Christmas.

Trying to work out who this could be assume Willie, Gordon, Joey. Can't think of an obvious McManus horse for this? Gigg as well seem short on options? An Is mad to think Mullins would only have one entry or has Ricci multiple horses?

Rhinestone, Ballyneety, Triplicate
VD, COF, BOD, FD

That still leaves us well short.

Yeah, I've been having a think too.

Triplicate sure to go. Supreme Racing Club could have Aramon & Harrie entered.
 
When do we get to see?!
