Supreme Novices Hurdle 2020

[Can't Catch Me]

Think the Shiskin performance may have contributed as well.

yes I agree. And with AD and CG running good races, there appear to be a few more credible challengers than when they shortened him.

[robith]

He's 6/1 on betfair exchange too.

Not sure it's that worrying- i personally take it as them growing a set and realising that the EA>ABA form surely isn't going to be the only winning formline in the festival novice races. Sometimes between here + twitter you'd think it was.

I'm not worried - more over I only put 1pt e/w when he went out to 16s post defeat to EA. Weighing it up as an opportunity to get an extra point at a bigger stake vs something more nefarious in nature

So chantry will be very short at trials day...what happens when he hoses in to the market?

Sounds like Ruby was pretty impressed with Shishkin - ‘He is a huge runner in the Supreme’

Has Nicky said CH goes to trials day? Ballymore trial is the only option for him there...

Thought I heard something about him coming back for trials day as you said only race for him is the ballymore trial so could divert elsewhere possibly? But I definitely heard the trial was an option

Dont think ive heard Ruby so bullish about a horse for a while. He really likes Shishkin and gave good reasons , well worth a listen.

[Quevega]

It's no big surprise Shishkin is popular.
Looks like the UK backers weighing in behind a Henderson horse.
It looked very good and the form vs Henderson's Mister Coffey seems better,although they both won in different styles really.

But he's won his maiden (a class 4 novice) and the reaction appears to be a bit much, but considering the money Angel's Breath kept attracting last season it's not surprising.

One for nearer the day for me to consider after seeing him again. He looks smart.

[Rhinestone_Cowboy]

Loving this Shishkin gamble, I backed him somewhat unenthusiastically at 33s, cashed out for a loss at 40s after his debut fall and although contemplated getting involved again at 33s earlier this week, my reservations about his best trip and the lack of market support on the machine for the Supreme before his race this week meant I decided against it...the dream....haha....certainly won’t be backing him to win now at his current price

See of blue again today, gone full Angels Breath, note to self Hendo’s perceived good uns’ get smashed for this race

....Fly Smart where art thou??

Can anybody tell me what the fascination with fly smart is ?
Is his french form any good ?
Are people just looking for a Mullins/ricci horse for this ?

Being absolutely smashed up but I wouldn't go near 6/1. With EA looking Ballymore bound and the price on Aba pretty much gone, the market looked fairly week and when you combine that with Henderson now having a clear apparent charge at the race, plus the visually impressive finish, plus the post race comments (e.g. Ruby), you probably have a wall of people previously scratching their heads now backing Shishkin regardless of whether he's just pissed up in a rubbish race or not. I'd want to see him thrown into deeper waters before getting as carried away as the market clearly has.
