Cheers Lobos. Personally on Henderson novice hurdlers I would broadly:

- Back his number one Supreme horse before debut if stable tours, race placement and profile had given me enough clues.

- Only back an Albert Bartlett horse after 1-2 runs if it looked particularly strong contender and not before.

- Not back potential Ballymore horses antepost because that's where he tends to send his lower quality horses unless he has more than one runner for the Supreme or Albert Bartlett with the same connections (like Champ).

The problem is identifying his number 1 supreme horse. He had everyone believing I am maximus was the second coming the same season that constitution hill won the supreme.

Remember the hype over Jet Powered also

[The Giant Bolster]

I guess that's a lot of the antepost risk. We need to work out the number one but even then the stable might be wrong. Jonbon was likely their number one for the Supreme the season Constitution Hill won. Jet Powered was the number one at the start of last season but didn't deliver. Given his record in the Supreme, I'm willing to take a risk early with good odds if I think I've found his number one. But even then you obviously need to keep an open mind.

Well Willmount has had a hair cut 20s into 14s any race with Hills.

[Carnage at Taunton]

Yeah, all right. He's had two or three runners. Let's just say he's not particularly keen on the race . A little like his love for the NHC. Don't think for one minute Willmount has been sent to him to be aimed at the Albert.........IMO

He dont have that many AB type horses, but Bobsworth and co prove that when he does have them, hes fine with running them in the race.
If Willmount proves to be one he wont mind running him there.
He might not have been sent him for an AB, but he might have been sent him for future staying chases.
Bobsworth took in the AB on the way to a Gold Cup, maybe Willmount will head in the same direction.

Harris has 3 nice ones to place in novice hurdlers this year (Willmount, Peaky Boy, Break My Soul). What I gather is Willmount will likely be aimed at +2m campaign and Peaky Boy 3m.
Nicky looks to have a much better squad of novice hurdlers this year to contend with. Some very nice recent P2P recruits along with some older ones, Ideal Des Borbes and Shannagh Bob two worth keeping eye on.

On the latest LTR podcast ABW has just put up Nick Rockett for the Browns Advisory as a horse to follow

He really does. You've not even mentioned my two favourites of his P2P purchases!

When you say +2m for Willmount, do you mean more than 2m or 2m with the potential to go up in trip?

Any idea what the paywalled ones are?

They usually aren’t anything too important going off the previous weeks ones

Jeriko and who’s the other one you love? Sorry yes believe the initial intention is he’ll be a 2.5 hurdler.

I did see the main reason for moving the horses besides the fact Nicky is a champion trainer was for connections to be closer to their hoses and being able to visit them more often. Tried to find the comment again this morning not sure where I had seen it.

Another Nicky horse I was gleaming over last year was Impose Toi I really thought he was going to be a grade 1 horse but was bit of a headless chicken and way too green. Massive scope and He’s another JP horse I’d be interested in this year chasing for Nicky.

just on the Jet Powered hype last year I do recall Nicky trying to play down the hype from the beginning? Think it was racing twitter that causes the storm more than connections. Wonder what they will do with him this year.

Supreme/Ballymore type hopefully.

Brilliant. Thanks for posting. Incredible how imotional Scudy gets. Was lucky enough to back her at big odds for Aintree . Will be interesting what races they go for this season.

You'd be brave following LTR horses for Cheltenham antepost!
