Supreme Novices Hurdle 2020

Mister coffey was well on top, and looks talented. but another where the bumper form has worked out rubbish. So not sure what to expect.

Probably was an egg and spoon race but Whittington got 340,000 pounds for him afterwards. One to keep an eye out for. Nicky tends to send horses with previous hurdling form for next Thursdays race. At 66/1 Mister Coffey worth a small ew for Supreme as we know from the entry that he is fit and well and ready for a run, even if it's not at Kempton
 
Has anyone heard anything about Harry Fry’s King Roland? It all seems to have gone quiet following his second place at Newbury.

Not a peep and no entries either. I’d be surprised to see him mentioned for this race though.
 
Not one I’m interested in but others are:

"Blue Sari is an intended runner at this stage for the two-mile Grade 1 novice hurdle at Leopardstown," said Berry of the 11-4 shot for the Paddy Power Future Champions Novice Hurdle.

"He was workmanlike when winning on his hurdles debut at Punchestown but was a bit keen and we're hoping he can improve."

He's not declared.
 
Anyone heard anything re Shishkin? Can’t find anything and I was expecting some news
 
I was just looking at the cards for the Boxing Day and Mister Coffey is still 66/1 for the supreme which is a massive price if he turns up on Boxing Day as Nicky Henderson uses this races as a statement of intent and Fred and Daphene Du Clos have fluffed their lines so far so Mister Coffey maybe his A Lister this season after a few of Henderson’s juvenile novices have not impressed so far.

Mister Coffey declared at Doncaster on Boxing Day in a 2M 3&1/2F Novice Hurdle.
 
Mister Coffey now entered for Newbury on 28th, over 2 Miles.

Seems like he should run this week given the multiple entries.
 
Master Debonair +15 to a new rating of 151.

Even though I’m a big fan, that seems rather high to me. If it’s correct though, then he’s got a real chance come March.

He did it very well. I'd like to see him take on the 2nd again on decent ground, but no particular reason he couldnt beat him again.

I still think the Master will improve for better ground. His best bumper performances were on good ground, including when beating Thyme Hill.
 
I’m surprised nothing has been mentioned about Vegas Blues hurdled debut on Thursday at Kempton. She is favourite for race but still 50’s for SNH. I’ve covered her given Henderson’s history with this race. Not sure if it’s just a big day out for the owners as Verdana Blue also runs or Henderson genuinely believes this is his best novice hurdler over 2mile this season?

He said on his blog the owner wanted to run.

Whether it's too high or not isn't the thing to focus on yet... the royal We are just pleased it's too high for them to consider handicaps so we've got a live one at 66/1 aren't We? ;)

Just googlin' cowbell songs and the first one..... Don't Fear The Reaper

 
I am SO the right man for the job :)
 
I forgot Verdana Blue has been sold, she’s been bought with a plan to breed?
I’ve backed Vegas Blue for the SNH just incase she wins this but I think I’m going to back
