    Going to stud by all accounts, I assume that is end of the season.

    • Kador De Ciergues bolts up over at Auteuil just now, he was smashed 10L by Sir Gino and Mundi..

      Well worth a point or 2 on Sir Gino I'd say.

        WH moved Mundi into 14/1 from 20/1 but haven't touch Sir Gino which is interesting. Maybe they know something. I would of thought as they are the same owners they'd hold Mundi back for novice hurdling next year and use Sir Gino.

          They moved Mundi into that after Jigme was beaten mate, wouldn't take any notice of it

            Ah okay, wasn't sure on the timing as Jigme ran today and form was boosted today. I wonder if they even send Mundi down a bumper season.

              The rumours were he's being held back

                Another good race 1:33. Jigme up against the much improved Light Wave.
                Didn’t think the form line would work out that decent. Took a little RU on Sir Gino with Kador. Hope the chat about S.Mundi being held back have some merit

                • Can't wait to see Jhentong Enki tomorrow at Roscommon, opened 5/2 and early bits of money have him smashed into 6/5, I'd have thought he'd be a little bigger tomorrow but good to see them cracking on with him straight into a maiden hurdle instead of pissing around in bumpers. Doesn't look the strongest maiden to start off with so hopefully she shows the boot over 2m before progressing up in trip during the season.

                  • Nicky Henderson very positive on Jeriko du Reponet in his HIT brochure:

                    "This looks something rather special and is a really stunning individual by a French sire that looks like he is going places.

                    "He had one run in a point-to-point with Wilson Dennison in the north of Ireland and was, by all accounts, extremely impressive showing a very good turn of foot and winning extremely easily.

                    "He has only just arrived, looks absolutely fabulous and I can only say that this does look like something you dream about and I only hope we can do him justice and that he is as good as he looks.

                    "I would imagine he would start straight over hurdles. He is only a four-year-old but he is a really fine, strong horse that looks pretty mature and I think he might be ready to go to war later in the autumn which is very exciting."​

                      • That update really confuses the JP novice hurdlers outlook though. With Willie and Nicky’s fondness for the Supreme, it’s likely they’ll both want MW and JDR to be campaigned in that direction. ADTS has the form in the book and would likely head there too. Potentially this strengthens my view that DML will be the one to go to the Ballymore for Gordon. Really exciting times for JP and I really think he’ll have at least one novice hurdle winner this season and it’s not crazy to think he could sweep the board.

                          He is stacked this season that is for sure

                          • Hugely exciting for JP. He fully deserves it. Put so much into NH Racing over the years. His group of Novices could dominate for a number of seasons now across both Hurdles and Fences.

                              I was just about to post 'Hendo gushing at novice hurdler shock', you beat me to it.
                              Doesn't usually end well...

                                Pot luck to which day you'll receive yours but it will be this week if already ordered.
