2022 Mares Novices Hurdle

[darlojim]

Will the winner on Saturday get any sort of penalty for this?

thought I read they did but I may be mixing up races

5lb i believe.

[FinalFurlong91]

I thought so

Seems a bit ridiculous to carry a penalty in a grade 2 for winning a grade 3 to me

Especially one that big

I think Limini, Let's Dance and Laurina all had 5 lbs penalties and still won

Ratings this year are quite low and not sure anything of note....copmpared even to last year

Think highest is Brandy Love at RPR 134

To put that in context, TSMG had run a 137 already by the stage and didn't was still backable at 20-25s in NRNB as one nobody even looked at

Willie has an absolute stack of Mares that could step up - Take Tea, Brooklyn Glory and many others that could improve......would look hard at anything longer-priced for Mullins and maybe Henry when entries come in, specially once we are NRNB....prob be some great value

[FinalFurlong91]

Most of the mullins mares have only run once because of the late start for willie so not had the chance to post decent figures yet tbf

The market hasn't really formed in this race yet

Was same situation 2-3 years ago.....when 2 rank outsiders fought out finish....both Mullins

On day, i backed everything of his that was long-priced for exactly this reason......was a fun finish ....every dog has his day and finally got a strategy right

Think same applies from NRNB onwards......get the forgotten ones in book....we all know Mullins can prep one even if not run

Is that the one when Concertista was done on the line at 50/1 by bloody Eglantine Du Seuil? Guess which one I was on

Thats the one ......yikes if you were on Concertista....hope u got it back following year

Reason i call it out, is it feels similar this year as FF says.....firmer ground and so Mullins hasn't run much

Get on all his over-priced ones is my advice......that finish was hilarious if you had both.....uttter silence in stands apart from muggins ....sure i had about 150s or something silly

Think DRF will sort it out more.....but Mullins appears to have loads....and not much between them....so getting onside several at v long prices, once NRNB opens seems like a play and then top up on any miss on day

They're all under priced though.

Story of this year AP......am hoping NRNB offers better.....and if not, then same applies on day hopefully

Depending on prices and amount of runners, I'm planning on shoving all the Mullins lot in tricasts this year.

Good idea....might well follow

[Craigy14]

Market support / jockey bookings going to mess with my mind between now and then!

Aye same, I’m only on Allegorie of those in the race. Not really taken to Grangee, but Brandy Love I like but missed the price pre debut.

I think knowing the types WPM wins this with is why I’ve favoured Allegorie so far. Add to that the experience she’ll bring to the race, if she wins and wins we’ll at the weekend she could be another to easily carry the 5lbs penalty imo.

be about same price for a tricast as it was on exchanges for eglantine & concertista for win only.
That race was a mad one.

I'm surprised Statuaire isn't more popular @ 10/1. For me thats the value. Grade 1 winner who has beaten a subsequent Grade 1 winner, so form looks good despite the depth of that win being a little questionable. Entered against the boys over Xmas which I don't mind at all, and she's a French recruit with three 1's next to her name for a trainer who is 5 from 6 in this race. If I could only back one now I'd have Statuiare at 10's over the current 9/2 fav.
