Supreme Novices Hurdle 2021

[taylorch1990]

Before the race is ran today.
what's the general consensus?

I believe this is the strongest renewal of the kennel gate that I have ever seen, and imo is far and away the stronger and deeper race than the royal bond which ballyadam won.

People may or may not agree. But interested on thoughts before its ran.

I would tend to disagree Scooby while the Royal Bond was run slowly and became a sprint I'd still have Ballyadam Cask Mate and Ngolo ahead of those running today. On todays race I'm not sold on Soaring Glory I'm not 100% he'd have won lto when he fell. I've backed Shantou Express because of the case I made for For Pleasure last night. I hope whoever does win today looks really impressive so we have a stand out UK runner to put it up to Ballyadam and Ferny.

Dusart recieved 6 pounds. *****


I also think soaring glory's mark of 133 is very lenient. Hes undoubtedly better than that imo.

Its a deep race for any mid-season Graded race in the UK, which are generally poor.

The Royal Bond was better than the Future Champions that Abacadabras won at Christmas last year, which was dire.

Ballyadam won the RB well enough, and is a good enough Supreme fav for now.

The Kennel Gate, for me, boils down to Soaring Glory or - if they are all only 130+ horses - then the Hendo Bumper winner has a fair chance.

[Kevloaf]

In what world would be be fav?


landinabo lad soaring glory and even Kim baileys horse have some very smart form coming into this.

My drogo beat the mighty flinteur sacre etc.

Even the rag has won his last 2 and is 130+

He will have to be very special to win this off levels on hurdles debut.

Dusart recieved 4 and would have been no cert what so ever to have beaten soaring glory off levels. With the latter tenderly handled in the closing stages of there race. And that's without the others.

I didn't say he should be fav, I just said I'm getting jiggy with him, despite him not being favourite.... you read the emoji wrong


Strong race, whatever wins.... gets beaten by something Irish in March. Easy.

Haha. I didn't mean in that way.
Just obvs why he's not fav.

If he does win handily hes very useful But absolutely no foregone conclusion.

expect we will see what willie has between 26th dec and mid January. Asterion forlonge didn't run in his maiden hurdle until Jan last year....

I couldn't have ngolo beating soaring glory or landinado lad over 2m for example. Imo

My Drogo would be my pick.

[Scooby91]

My Drogo would be my pick.

I was hoping he wouldn't drift so much so I could have got him beat in a match bet.

Not fancying it now with the revised odds.

I don't agree with the former. I don't rate what ballyadam beat,

However very much Also Hoping for an impressive winner to shake up the supreme market.

Similarly rate nothing anyway highly behind Ballyadam but I think Ballyadam will prove to be very high class and still my idea of the Supreme winner on what potentially is left to come from him in a faster run race. Only downside is his jumping when under pressure which can be improved.

Who do you fancy for the Supreme at this stage?

[Scooby91]

Lots left to be seen. Both shortly and slightly longer term

[Hardy Eustace]

Pretty Ordinary Joe

[ComplyOrDie]

Looks like Flinteur Sacre ran in a hot maiden after all

[Run4Home]

In hindsight not much to get excited about in that race I don't think.

[Jorvik]

Pretty Ordinary Joe

Looked a bit too quick for him the whole way round.

[Lobos]

Looks like Flinteur Sacre ran in a hot maiden after all

Still think he'll end up Nicky's Supreme horse.
