    Possibly. On the flip side, think you could argue they pulled a long way clear of third and Harry Skelton got the fractions wrong and kicked on too early maybe...

        The other Harry (Fry) is also in good form at the moment so his horses are clearly taking their Weetabix and fit and firing

            She’s the best we’ve seen imo of the mares. Was surprised to her price drift a couple points with firms.

            Would rather she had another run before going straight to Cheltenham.

            More annoyed I didn’t get her onboard prior to her second run as she won at 16/1 that day and won well.

            • Nico jocked up on Between Waters at Hereford on Wednesday over the guts of 2m6f. All her entries over the last few weeks have been north of 2m4f also Hereford wouldn’t be a usual starting point for Nicky’s better novices.

              I know the mares novice takes some staying over the new course but I’ve got my concerns he’s interested in targeting this race with her. Anyone else in the same boat?

                  I’ve just cashed out my 16/1 ticket & will take the boosted 14/1 with WH tomorrow to be safe.

                      • Luccia's owner is keen to run in the Supreme

                        "Nicky will probably ask me about the Supreme and the Dawn Run and my reply would be that it's an owner's dream to get into the Supreme and it's an opportunity that would be sad to lose.

                        "Having said that, it would be better to win a slightly easier race, which I think the Dawn Run is, than coming third or fourth in the Supreme.

                        "Those are my thoughts and I'll probably leave the decision to Nicky, although it's possibly unlikely I ever get another chance in the Supreme, so it would be a shame not to run.

                        "If Nicky thinks we've a much better chance in the mares' novice hurdle, we'd probably run in that, but if she wins by 17 lengths on Saturday I'm sure Nicky will edge towards the Supreme! A lot will depend on what happens."

                        As a big winner for me in the Mares Novice, I'm hoping Hendo sees the sense in the easier race!

                          Seems like the owners up for it.
                          Skybet are 18-1 w/o Vega for Supreme if anyone wants cover.
                          Nicky would want a runner with a chance in the supreme over and above a Mares Novice Favourite I reckon. So given Jet Powered disappointing and the rest of his looking shit.
                          However, he may simply want to swerve Facile Vega also.

                          Go for the easier race

                          • She was one of the first I looked for when Hills went NRNB but the price wasn't the most appealing
                            Maybe is she wins well and Between Waters wins a maiden well Hendo will have a think about it.

                              Enter in both and see how the situation is with both races much nearer the time.
                              Although Tolworth may well tell them anyway

                                Maybe worth doing win Saturday and Supreme as cover.
