    Moving Friday according to social media.

      Fil Dor made his debut for Caldwell in France before moving to Gordon, albeit earlier in the season. It may be part of his education or a deal they made with Gab Leenders to let him race once after bringing him through.

      • I see The Mediator is due to run very shortly. He won a bumper and ran a solid enough race in another last season, and is one I'm keen to keep tabs on as a novice hurdler this season.

        Highly likely a handicap will be the route he takes, so it will be interesting to see how he goes today.

          Impressive winner already being talked up by pundits as a live MNH horse. The season has begun!!!

            Most definitely a handicapper! Will likely come on for that run, and winner was race fit.

            Looking at the size of him though he must be seen to best effect over a fence, eventually.

                  Jazzy Matty will come on for that run. Off the bridle mid-race he was slowly coaxed back onto it, and wasn't given a hard race at any point. Looked to blow up 3 furlongs out. He'll definitely benefit from the tender handling he was given and the racecourse experience, as many smart French ones do. Anyone that has him backed shouldn't give up on him. An entry at Down Royal (or not), will tell you all you need to know.

                    The 3rd was a gelding with two places in 10 hurdles races, rated 101, and giving the winner 7lb, beaten 17L.

                    Theres no form lines that suggest Cheltenham there, at this point.

                    Maybe its a prep for the Grade 3 Mares Novice Hurdle at Down Royal that Impervious won last year, and could lead on to the Royal Bond.

                    Generally the stable wouldn’t have close to their best horses running around at this point., but of course we did get Statuaire touted as a MNH Fav after winning the Royal Bond (not a Maiden Hurdle though).

                      • Very impressed with Champ Kiely there at Tipperary. Great turn of foot to put the race to bed, another excellent front running ride from Danny Mullins too.

                        • Was good wasnt he!
                          Not a bet for me though this far out

                          • Very impressive. Didn’t look an AB performance with that speed?

                              Quotes from Danny for those wanting.

                              He was very good. He showed his stamina in Galway and backed up that with speed today. He's ticking a lot of boxes.

                              “He looks to be going the right way. Off a strong pace he quickened which not many can do.”

                                Looked good against a weak in the betting Brazil and Hubrisko who isn't a great 2miler.

                                I imagine they'll go up in grade now for something like the Royal Bond but he may find himself outclassed at G1 level depending upon what turns up.

                                Then onto the 2m6 at the DRF and onto the Bartlett
