2023 Novice Hurdlers

[Istabraq]

Probably depends on the going, often pretty desperate ground for the Tolworth, can be tough for a novice

You think Hendo would let ground get in the way ?
Nah, not having it….

Haha, I was more referencing going might prevent a good competitive field

Dark Raven declared in the 5 year old maiden on Boxing Day. Not sure who is jocked up yet.

Thats true, the Sandown hurdles course looks the biggest, uggliest climb in racing (now Towcester is shut) when the winter soft ground sets in.

Would it be worth getting a price on Parmenion for the County?

Do you think he will race 4 times over hurdles before now and Cheltenham?

He’s never ran over hurdles so would say very unlikely! State man had a run in France prior to his fall in the same race, I wouldn’t view that maiden as a ‘county’ race for WPM. Pretty sure he always has a well thought of horse run in it.

Townend jocked up. Lovely.

I posted the same on Twitter when I saw someone request a price for the County. No chance they can get four runs in and manufacture the right mark for him.

Have had to have a top up on Kalanisi Star for the Albert Bartlett now he’s declared for Limerick on the 27th. A few firms still offering 33/1, that could look good value in a few days!

Interesting shout this as not one on my radar currently.

You expecting him to be among the favs at Limerick? Few with better known connections so could be one for a decent win today and AB price?

Yeah I’d be delighted if he was priced up at around 3/1 for the Limerick race, as you say Gordon’s & Henry’s may hold up the market!

I mentioned previously the race has been a great trial for the Albert Bartlett down the years so hopefully KS shows his credentials.

I've seen Irish point has been taken out of Facile Vega's race, shame.

Any news on if Gaelic Warrior is a likely runner in the Gardens Hurdle?

Can't imagine theyll be running him there, will be Vauban.
