2015 Neptune Novice Hurdle

[Mytentoryours]

Windsor Park is pricewise

kilcrea Vale not totally ruled out - working Wednesday.

Thanks OV. Thought this might be the case. Looking at this race and a Willie Mullins dual grade one hurdle winner is still 5/1. Surely that is still value?

Segal was surprised shaneshill wasn't their Neptune horse.

I think Mullins has convinced Wylie not to take on Douvan in the supreme and therefore Nicholls Canyon has been diverted to the Neptune with Mullins saying Shaneshill has got a bit of work to do to make it to chelt.I wonder if in fact he just dosent want these two horse to take on Douvan and the same for Tell Us More such is his belief that Douvan is the best novice hes ever sent to the festival.Thats why he dosent want the giggy team insisting Tell Us More go for supreme...he knows Douvan is the real deal...he dosent want these three taking on Douvan...

Mullins seemed to suggest Handicaps might be an option for TUM in RP.

This Kilkrea Vale story gets a Spirting life write up ....

Kilcrea Vale – Will He? Won’t He? Where Is He?

Talking of dramas, Kilcrea Vale. A general 12/1 chance for the Neptune on the back of one excellent victory at Market Rasen in January, Henderson seemingly ruled him out of the Festival very early on at today’s visit. ‘So I’ll have nothing in the Neptune,’ Henderson said in a definite tone. ‘What about Kilcrea Vale?’ ‘No. No.’ There’s a story. Kilcrea Vale ruled out of Festival. But, hang on, there was a twist. ‘No, no, I won’t definitely say no about him actually,’ backtracked Henderson, ruling him back in as quickly as he ruled him out. ‘He’s got to do something this week, though.’ If I recall correctly, I think it was Vaniteux who ruled himself back in with some sparkling late work this time last year, and he ran a cracker when third in the Sky Bet Supreme, so it’s probably not time to be ripping up those Neptune tickets just yet.

Ferguson sounded a bit downbeat about Parlour Games in the RP quotes. Said he hoped he was the one to beat but had been on the go along time and hoped he gave a good account of himself.

GRAHAM WYLIE'S FIVE CHELTENHAM HORSES TO FOLLOW


NICHOLS CANYON

(Neptune Novices’ Hurdle, Wednesday March 11, 4-1)

“He’s been excellent all season, and it’s just a shame he stepped on that hurdle over Christmas (at Leopardstown) because that’s the only blemish on his record. He would have won three Grade Ones if that hadn’t happened.

“He’s still a double Grade One winner though, and if he jumps well, Ruby says he has tonnes of stamina. He’ll run in the Neptune, and he’s got a great chance.

I think price wise has picked a perfect horse for the race, Windsor parks form behind Nichols canyon looks good and looking at his form he versatile on all types of ground. What you all think?

a lot of negativity around NC at tonight's previews. Don't get it myself.

Never saw him of the flat but the Timeform lad has him as a dog !

Conversely, he's one of Jim McGraths bets of the week!

Must try and find that Ascot race ...didnt look ungenuine in his hurdle races. Id be more worried about the jumping.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Tell us More with less than a week to go?

Not working well after defeat to McKinley (remember faugheen didn’t work well until he had his feed changed). Mullins seemed very coy on the reasoning behind this defeat, like he knew what was up at a time when others also under performed.

Now shortening on betfair for first time in a while for this race despite Cooper originally saying he rides Outlander. Also, Ricci says he thinks he goes Neptune and says he is one he would like to own out of willies crop/ David Casey also says he is very, very good!

Still think he’s a big player in a weak looking race and IF Douvan is the beast everybody seems to think he is, surely two darts at the Neptune would be a better option leaving McKinley for the Supreme?

welcome on board.

utterly confused is where I am on the Gigginstown horses.

add in the Mullins factor and becomes a total head wreck.
