2023 Mares Novice Hurdle

[SeanRock]

It'll be interesting to see if Between Waters finally takes up her entry at Carlisle on Monday.

Was sure Nicky would pull up stumps and save her for next season - not ideal losing your novice status in February but there we are.

Was posted in here previously but Davy Boland of Racings Inside Track Tv mentioned she would be running in the next fortnight on a Champ Tv podcast, he is well connected in racing circles especially PTP’s & I assume she will take up the Carlisle entry & that is what he was referring to

Around the 21:40 mark…

He doesn’t seem to run many at Carlisle only 2 hurdlers this year I might be wrong but wouldn’t be a track I thought they would start at though it looks like a 50% record for them but isn’t it a stiff track at 2m3f on soft ground first time out not really compare to 2 miles possibly quicker ground at Cheltenham, doesn’t seem like he thinks they are all speed and can’t be worried about stamina as it could be hard work first time out if the ground stays the same, though love envoi did win over 2m4 on heavy ground at sandown before winning at Cheltenham

Would nicky run her in the mares novice after just one start?

That wouldnt seem a very nicky henderson thing to do to me, though iv not checked to see if he's done that before

he doesnt seem to like chucking them in at the deep end to see if they can swim

Especially when he will potentially have the favourite for the race if luccia wins her next start well

….Ashroe Diamond owners take on the Solerina. Say excited about Cheltenham, suggesting MNH most likely but could also have a County Hurdle entry;

Bloody good spot Eggs. She'd be right at the bottom of the County HCP if she got in . She's a Mullins Novice. Definitely Graded horse. Right age......and has had 4 runs! One of the few Willie Novices to be 'qualified.'

I think I've talked myself into a AP Handicap bet for the first time in a long while!!!

I did the AD (County) Night and Day (Mares N) double before the Solerina. Would love them to be split that way.

Between Waters not declared at Carlisle on Monday, but is entered at Southwell on Wednesday & Ffos Las on Thursday.

Liberty Dance to do the double? Tomorrow and Mares novice - 14/1 I think I saw last night...

Will need to keep improving but I thoguht she did it well last time, and the horse she put away won (albeit scrappily) next time

Think she'll do very well to give Risk Belle all that weight. If she does then she has a serious chance at Cheltenham. Can't see it though.

Between Waters also entered in a bumper at Kempton on Friday.

The 8lb 4length beating of Foxy Girl reads very well though

And at Warwick on Saturday. I suspect they could well be going for a late bumper campaign and novice hurdles next season at this stage!
