Mares Novice Hurdle 2020

[Lobos]

The old fitness gauge is out again
Accurate to the millisecond.

To be fair. He mentioned she had a nice holiday (code for she's a fat cow)
So this is understandable, and backers will be pleased.

In that case it sounds like she'll come on loads for the run....or 20-25% .

[OverTheLast]

the Down Royal race will be a good watch if it the Mullins mare from last weekend takes her on, no doubt a few other nice ones as well, so depressing not being able to be there that weekend - a highlight in my year as it's my local track!

Same, the line ups and touted horses to be there is gutting to know wont beable to see them!

But Mullins rarely sends any to it so wouldn't be too sure many if any of his will be send to the meeting.

[OverTheLast]

Think last couple of seasons he's started to send a few .. Sancta Simona/Melon won on the same day 2 years ago! But generally you're right.

A note on todays race .. Queens Brook 80% fit and giving away 7lb might just be a nice enough performance .. or am I being biased?!

[Eggs]

....Queens Brook price appears unaffected by today’s performance.

Thank goodness, we would be struggling if performances like that earnt a trim!

He sends horses to the grade 3 hurdle regularly though.

It was interesting how slowly run it was given Queens Brook looks like she’ll stay well. They were obviously confident regardless and i'd say next time they'll try and make a bit more use of her. Worth noting both the horses she beat were geldings + could be of any level.

Brave Way runs tomorrow and is of interest. Well touted by her point trainer, if she can’t be Champagne Diva then she won’t be doing any danger in this race. Doyle’s the danger IMO.

Brave Way wins pretty easily there. Looked a sharp enough mare as well so wouldn't be impossible Henry would send her here if she keeps progressing.

[Hurdles or chasing]

Wasn't a strong race but did it nicely. Slick jumping. Look forward to seeing her run next time. Good shout

[Hardy Eustace]

She did it nicely, still looks a bit inexperienced, which of course she is entilted to, so you would think there would be plenty of improvement to come.

Was a little bit disappointed there was no mention of My Whirlwind today in Nicky's Stable tour. Was really hoping on some positive news.

Think Willie's tour will be informative about which of his army of mares are currently working well. Long time from now and March though so must remind myself not to back every mare he gives a positive mention to!

I haven't seen the race, but I'd suspect she'd need every yard of that today, based on her dams side. Though, being by Jeremy she may not lack the zip required for 2m.

Yeah i thought she looked zippy enough today. Looby said from her point he'd expect her to be more of a 2m - 2m4 mare- so maybe she'll have enough speed for it. She still has to go and prove she's good enough of course.

If past experience is anything to go by, Willie will only comment on those horses that are on a previously agreed list.

Princess Zoe still for a hurdling campaign? Apparently not decided yet

“Princess Zoe is already priced up as ante-post favourite for the Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival with some bookmakers, and owners Paddy Kehoe and his sister Philomena Crampton are keen on a jumping career.“

Please no I’ve already cashed some of my bets of the back of the trainers previous comments ��

.....that would be fantastic for me, particularly the 215-1 Princess Zoe (MNH)/Envoi (a/r) that Hills offered (with the race she won in France).
