The Anglo-Irish Jumps Classification panel made Simonsig their top novice hurdler of 2011-12. He will be chasing in 2012-13 according to reports.
We have tabled all the novice hurdlers rated over 140 in the table below. Can Darlan or Cinders and Ashes make up into 2013 Champion Hurdle contenders ? Were the 2011-12 four year olds all that ?
Let us know which of these you think will train on in 2012-13 on our forum.
