Supreme Novice Hurdle 2019

.....backed Valdieu for this @ 33-1 NRNB ahead of its planned run this weekend.
 
Where do we expect him to turn up next? I half wanted to see him tomorrow

Not really sure. I can see why you'd want to see him out and get a win under his belt. However, it tends to be a negative when mullins sends one up North for his maiden...

Sympa Des Flos, Didero Vallis two from memory that came up and turned out to be nothing. SDF was heavily hyped too.
 
Olly Murphy on Thomas Darby:

“He’s in good form. He had a quiet enough 10 days after Taunton, and the plan is to go straight to the Supreme.

“Again, he’ll probably be entered in a couple of handicaps. But all being well, he’ll end up in the Supreme – and if he gets a bit of nice spring ground I hope he’ll have a good each-way chance.”

Slightly disappointing that he isn't making use of his mark on the Betfair hurdle.
 
I can't remember the quotes but I got the distinct impression earlier in the season that Olly saw Itchy Feet as his no.1 for the Supreme. Also, Itchy Feet is rated 2lb superior to TD and has higher RPRs (twice), yet you can still get 33s. I think that's probably still a bit of value.

Any quotes on where we might see him next?

"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."

Quite a few on here liked Itchy Feet I believe. Not one I have taken too myself, can only wish you good luck.
 
Looking at the DRF, It looks as if Paddy Power think Aramon may skip it and go straight to Cheltenham. Anything in there to worry Klassical Dream/Vision D'Honneur?
 
Forfeit stage for the DRF G1s is tomorrow at noon. Willie's potential runners will work in the morning and he'll make a preliminary decision then. 48 hour declaration for all races.
 
Ante post betting as a guide, I'd say it looks as though it will be a re-match for Klassical Dream & Vision D'Honneur for the DRF, at this current stage, though honestly wouldn't like to second guess Willie, this is purely based on the movement tonight.
 
Is it novice entries for Chelters tomorrrow? If so would you cash out Annamix tonight just in case?

Yes it is, I have left a couple of multiples that aren't worth cashing out, but cashed out my 2.5 win single for 2 pts.

If he gets entered up again I could always back... was my thinking.

I do expect him to get an entry, but I can use the money better over the next week was my thinking.

I would suggest cashing out as as long as his price doesn’t change and you wish to reback you are not losing any value.

I have just cashed a load of multiples and if I were to reback at the current prices I would get the same return.

Not really worth the risk.
 
Supreme, Ballymore and Albert Bartlett entries all well up on last year numbers wise reflects just how open all 3 are this year

We don't get names until Thursday I believe?

Means exchanges will be suspended until then too.
