This is certainly a strange occurrence from memory but hopefully the Nicky Henderson stats chap on here can provide some confirmation. I know they are only entries at this stage, but Henderson has really loaded the entries of his top novices into a few days. I really don't recall this strategy before.

That might be me. I suspect it will all be to do with ground. He's very wary of running his best on anything without Soft in the description. So if it looks like he will get that then they get an entry. He has a slight preference for Albert Bartlett runners getting out a bit later but it's not so strong that I'd rule out entries in November.

Yes probably right with the ground TGB, from memory Henderson normally starts unleashing his better one's around the week of the fighting fifth and Newbury meeting the same weekend

Yes - Newbury, Ascot and Sandown in November and December are particularly favoured start points. More here:

Those meetings are the ones I have in my head for him which is why I was surprised to see so many entered this week. Obviously they can't all be top notch but I'd have thought a few in that list would be nearer the top of his pile. Only Jeriko, Ideal Des Bordes and Shanagh Bob missing off the top of my head.

A couple of changes in the revised Down Royal entries on Friday.
The Yellow Clay has an entry in the bumper so maybe he'll also get one on the Saturday in the 2m hurdle race.
Down Memory Lane has no entry in the 2m6f hurdle so hopefully he'll get one on the Saturday after be didn't take up Fairyhouse against An Tobar.
DB Cooper missing from the Friday bumper entries this time round but the rest are there.

Something else for DB Cooper or potentially met with a setback?
Nice to see The Yellow Clay entered up. Was beginning to wonder re him.
Was DML previously entered for the 2m 6f Hurdle? If so, that would be a slight worry as well.
Great that they've saved the meeting though.
