The COUNTY Handicap Hurdle

[Faugheen_Machine]

How is she chucked in? No known form above her current mark

Granted, agree she might improve - but that applies to many unexposed horses

I think there's plenty of reasons to believe she could be 10lb better than her current mark.

The problem being, if she doesn't learn to race efficiently, she'll never run to a rating she's capable of.

She won't be alone in that in this race....and don't think extra run criteria will change that as easy to find ones with French form to help qualify

One for the poss list tho for me

Good argument…….and one of my notes this year is to do more 5 year olds for Hcaps

Long as we don’t get Patrick riding

That's what i was alluding to - reads well doesn't it. The ability is there, just needs to learn. I was impressed by Aintree more than any of her runs last season.

….Valgrand;

‘He only has one entry and is definitely going for the County Hurdle. If you had asked me at Christmas time ‘would you have much chance in the County Hurdle’, I would have said no at a push. As the days are getting longer his coat is turning, and you can see how bright he is. It is all just coming together. He is in a handicap and it is going to be hard, but he was very good in the two-mile graded race at Cheltenham in October and bolted in then, before being put in his place by Potter’s Charm over two and a half, which was no disgrace. He then couldn’t carry top weight on bad ground afterwards. I just feel like it is coming together, he has ability, and if it is decent ground I can see him being there.‘
