I agree that Concertista is almost the forgotten horse for his. If she was going to drop in trip for shot at the Champion Hurdle it would have been last season, so I'd say if you don't think she wins this (very possible to my mind), she's at least rock solid a place. She was only just touched off by Black Tears after a momentum stopping mistake at the last, so she sets the bar for the newcomers to meet and beat. She also but up a 4lb higher rating in winning her Mares Novice Hurdle than Telmesomethinggirl did last season. So TMSG has an improvement gap to bridge.
Whilst I respect TMSG's chance, and she may be capable of finding the improvement for the extra distance, Shewearsitwell is the bigger danger if she comes here in my opinion. She equalled Concertista's Mares Novice Hurdle rating in only her third lifetime race. Not only that she beat a 141 rated hurdler 8 lengths completely unextended. She could have won double that distance if she were allowed. Her Royal Bond entry before her setback wasn't fanciful, and she's exciting. The trouble is we're told she has another 'niggle', so from a punting perspective she comes with a health warning.
At this stage if they all turn up fit and well I'd say 1st Shewearsitwell, 2nd Concertista, 3rd Telmesomethinggirl. I reserve the right to change my mind though.

What's this you've heard about a niggle? Have I missed something recently?Originally posted by Spectre View PostComment

I just don't think Mullins will run Concertista, Shewearsitwell, Gauloise, Stormy Ireland and possibly Echoes In Rain all in this race. Two of those 5 will be diverted. For me, I'd say Gauloise, Stormy Ireland and Shewearsitwell will be his 3 bullets this year.Last edited by Lobos; 14 October 2021, 12:46 PM.Comment

I think they've already said she'll stay over Hurdles??Originally posted by Madmoose View PostComment

Literally waiting on Shewearsitwell news (stable tour or otherwise) and I'll be adding her further, in multiples too. I just think she could end up being WPM's number 1 for this race.Comment

Never hold my breath with Mullins tours. Don't usually say anything we don't already know.Originally posted by ComplyOrDie View PostComment

As someone noted on the RAB thread a few days ago, Alex Hammond put up shewearsitwell to place in the mares hurdle and on the article it said she was part of the syndicate which owns her so I think its very close to certain this is the targetOriginally posted by ComplyOrDie View PostComment

I may have inadvertently posted something publicly that I shouldn't have Odin. But the gist is nothing serious and she's still expected to take high rank this season.Originally posted by Odin View PostLuck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.Comment
