Supreme/Ballymore/Albert Bartlett - Novice Hurdles 2021

[Eireman]

So for the Supreme, do we have any stand out candidates so far. I have been very bullish about Ferny Hollow since his Cheltenham Bumper win and although I have Ballyadam backed as well, what else has shown the potential to win this? Maybe the Supreme will be sub standard in 2021 or is Ferny Hollow actually very good?

I personally think Ferny has cemented himself as the current rightful fav. I think Keskonrisk has impressed me most at a big price and still think if I had to back anything at doubles figures it would be him.

Although this time later year Shishkin hadn't even run yet so theres still more than enough time for something else to throw their name in the hat.

Dusart?

Looks to be the best we've seen of Hendersons lot, winning a race that a few of his have won or gone close in then ended up in the Supreme.

First lifetime run that was too, Nico calling him a 'proper horse', it all bodes well. Obviously I'm on at 50's so I'm a little bias

Apart from that it is looking a little underwhelming so far, although plenty of horses still to be seen.

Was really looking forward to Boothill tomorrow but he's now a NR. I know other have mentioned on pedigree he'd want further but he looked plenty quick enough in his Kempton bumper which looked an above average race.

He just looked quite a big horse to me, not necessarily something I would associate with a Supreme runner.

But I do like him plenty

Just a shame he's a NR now!

....Capodanno remains unaltered for the Supreme at 50-1 and 20-1 in Hills TWAR market.

Does my head in that the bookies are keen to bring in horses by beating a load of chuff but reluctant to push them out after losing against that same chuff.

Technically they cut him to 40s this morning so they have pushed him out. So generous of them

I did love his win against Bob Ollinger. Both horses went proper full pelt head to head for the latter part of the race, no quarter given, and they pulled a mile clear of the 3rd. I think Bob Ollinger is a seriously good horse and for Ferney to beat him it was a great start to his hurdling career. He looks a real classy horse and could be another Supreme winner off the Mullins conveyor belt. I do hope so. The second would be my choice in the Ballymore.

I've backed him for the Bartlett - seems to fit the profile a little better.

2nd season novice - experience often counts in the Bartlett
Could follow the Thyme Hill route to the Festival

I feel that he would have real chance in the Bartlett, but not in the Ballymore.

Completely agree here, was toying with covering any race but feel he would get outclassed in the Ballymore so just covered off the Bartlett.

Certainly has a profile that fits the race and he finished his 2 races at Chelts well up that hill, hopefully more to come from him.

N’golo eh?

With so many punters already with money down for either Ferny H or Ballyadam in the Supreme, imagine if any one of those two gets nodded on the line by ‘N’golo.

We’ll all be shouting ‘YOU KANT!’ (e)

CAPODANNO is back in Bet365's market, at 50/1, if anyone backed him and now wanted to cashout for a small loss.

BF/PP havent put him back in yet.

He’s back in the B365 market - but cash out still suspended for me (not sure if it’s account specific or not).

I imagine that Coral are either drunk or have missed a 3 off the price when putting My Drogo in at 3/1 favourite (Ballymore)

Excited to see gloire d’athon tomorrow. Grade 1 entered over Xmas, he seems to have gone under the radar a bit for an expensive (can 200k be considered THAT expensive anymore??) chevely park purchase. Not priced up for anything with anyone at the festival & hard to see where he would even fit in with Ferny & Ballyadam also bound to contest the grade 1 novice hurdles.
