2021 Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle

[FinalFurlong91]

Stattler looks a dour stayer

When asked to quicken he very much looked one paced

Wondering if 3 miles will be far enough

Thinking he could be one for the NHC next year

[Ice]

Liked the look of gentlemansgame, stayed on well and looks like the bartlett would suit.

[dannycraigpirates]

Need to rewatch but Fakiera and Gentlemansgame surely impressive enough to stake claims for here?

Agree. Impressed with the first 4 home in different ways.

[Carnage at Taunton]

Patrick says he stayed really well gives them more options!!

[Kevloaf]

They all looked pretty strung out behind for me. Does Farouk no harm sat in his box

Vanillier didn't do much for him though...

[DenmanSacre]

Fakiera shaped well for this. Wanted him for the Martin Pipe earlier in the season but will be too high in the weights now

What are you expecting him to be after today?

[DenmanSacre]

What are you expecting him to be after today?

147 at first look but will need to watch it again. Beaten 7 lengths giving 2 pounds and I'd imagine GDM will be rated 152/153 for that. May squeak in at 145 I suppose.

[Spectre]

Fakeira 145 minimum for today, and more with the UK handicapper. Zero chance he gets in the Pipe.

[The King Pimm]

For anyone looking to get Fakira onside for the Albert Bartlett, he’s currently 16/1 best priced but Sky Bet have him at 14/1 in their TWAR market in (10/1 currently with Sky for AB)

[Kevloaf]

Oh wow...

Thigught it'd be harder than that

[Kevloaf]

Oh wow...

Thought it'd be harder than that

Doesn't surprise me, thought it was a cracking run considering it was only his 2nd hurdles start and 3rd ever race.

Kicking myself as kept talking myself out of backing him for the Bartlett pre DRF when he was 25's. Nevermind. Will add him now I think.

....yep, I highlighted the 20-1 a/r with Sky a few weeks ago which looked a bit of an oversight. It’s now 7-1 fav in Sky’s market for this race (NRNB), so the 14-1 with 365 might still offer a bit of value.
