Hors Piste jumped very well there (like she did on debut in France) but 2m5f + Soft/Heavy + Tramore does not equal the Mares Novice Hurdle winner. Could be a nice horse though.

In my view, based on what we've seen of the novice mares so far, Allegorie de Vassy will go to the Mares Hurdle with the best chance of Willie's horses.Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.Comment

But Brandy Love looks by far the best.Comment

Wasn't that impressed with her myself, the horse she was just beaten by ain't very good.Originally posted by JackieMoon33 View PostComment

Her jumping was very good but that’s definitely not top notch form. It was a strange starting point for her but I think in time she’ll be decent enough.Originally posted by jack1092 View PostComment

I'm probably nitpicking but I thought Allegory De Vasy gave her hurdles a lot of respect
Ballooned most of them, certainly wasn't low at them
In a better stronger run race her jumping will either fall to pieces or get slicker, atm I cant decide which one is more likely
As a natural cynic id be inclined to lean towards it falling apart
Be interesting to see how all these mullins mares stack upComment

Mares Hurdle, or Mares Novice Hurdle?Originally posted by Spectre View Post
To me she looks very scopey, has a decent amount of experience, and should be at least joint Fav for the Mares Novice Hurdle."Journeys to Glory, breathing in his head".Comment

Does anyone know whether Lunar Display is likely headed here or to a handicap? Been very impressed with her this year. Beat Queens Brook earlier in the year. Then Decent 2nd’s to Hollow games and Chemical Energy in Nov. Before a fine win LTO.
Seemed to run every other day earlier in the season.Comment

I'd say ballooning them is harsh, she was safe and probably shaped like a chaser over them. Casey did comment on here being sizeable so it's probably her long term game.Originally posted by FinalFurlong91 View Post
Still i was very impressed with her and she looks potentially good enough to go close in this so the 25s was decent pre-race.
It's clear Brandy Love is very highly rated so it'll be interesting to see what happens going forward between the two and from other "newcomers" from the same location....Comment

The Mares Novice Sax. I think she'll be smart. The dogs were barking pre-season for her, and that was a useful enough debut. She looked as though she'd benefit for a faster run race too.Originally posted by Saxon Warrior View Post
The issue I have with Brandy Love is the Mares Novice Hurdle trip. She's clearly very good, but she shapes like a stayer to me, and quicker ground at the Festival over two miles may catch her out.Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.Comment

The mares novice is always seen as a staying 2 miles with the pace that they go at. I don’t see any issue with Brandy Love in that race. Ruby has said that about the race a few times as wellOriginally posted by Spectre View PostComment

I'd lean towards it being a smaller pool to pick from, so the better horses that are classy enough to win it may be better over further in the future.Originally posted by Winging The Last View Post
A little bit like the juveniles, that end up being stayers.... at Cheltenham we have a small pool and the best horse may not be a 2 miler ...but still good enough.
Bumper would be another similar situation.
The MNH at 2m is still probably easier to win than a Ballymore, even if your mare wants a bit further... if she's 'good enough' of course....Comment

Yes, it’s a staying 2-Milers race, Kev, you’re dead right.Originally posted by Kevloaf View Post
Brandy Love and Allegorie de Vassy fit that profile, I’m on both, but prefer ADV after todays Irish debut, she looks a really imposing specimen, and I can see her forging up the hill well, at Prestbury Park.
Willie is tightening his grip on the market for this race, now."Journeys to Glory, breathing in his head".Comment
