Supreme Novices 2017

I think Finian's will NEED to win the Tolworth or he'll turn up in the Neptune. Debut was over 21f and it has been pointed out he has also won a P2P so you'd fully anticipate he will be going over further?

Debut was 21f and soft so I'd be very surprised if he ends up in the Supreme. I can't knock the performance on his debut but I don't see his best target being the Supreme even if he does win the Tolworth. For me he'd be perfect for the Neptune as he won't have much experience come Cheltenham and the usually slower pace and smaller field might help his inexperience too.
 
The horse I mentioned last week, Capitaine, runs tomorrow in the Tolworth hurdle, I believe Nichols really rates this fella

He's 20/1 Nrnb with Sky if you can get on MrM
 
Just put a small amount on for now, Nichols quite negative about him today on the ground, could drift a little if his run looks laboured
 
Nichols will be concentrating on handicaps again at the festival
 
Supreme is wide open and a case can be made for a dozen of these horses.. I can see one or 2 winning again in the next few weeks and one or 2 getting beat, but I'd of thought this will be 4/1 the field come flag fall and if you have a strong opinion about one at a price I'd stick with that..
 
Is Arlie Beach running in this? I see most bookies don't have a price.
 
Stab in the dark, is there any news whatsoever on sennewalk, last I heard going for a wind op but will he be back for the fez do we know...??
 
Hasn't been entered as far as I know Mayo. I wish someone would as Willie about him. I'm starting to think he's just a myth!!
 
I'm still convinced Melon is the horse Ricci tried to buy over the summer... that story will surely come out over the preview circuit?
 
He did Kev. I heard about that back in August from a reliable source. I can't imagine he was a cheap purchase in the first place.

Excellent. What colours do they run in? Owner Mrs J Donnelly? Can't find her with some lazy research
 
Don't know Kev. I'll ask and post on here if I find out
