2023 Supreme Novices Hurdle

[Birds Nest]

I really Don't know , but i have a feeling it could be a " Labaik " sort of supreme . ??..

i remember a preview night with Gordon and it might have been codd, they going thru their hurdlers when at the end elliott mentioned Labaik was their best worker at home in a kind of off the cuff remark, he was 50s that night too.

Skybet have a UK horses only market race, which is quite interesting.

Tamuras - 4/5
Rare Edition - 7/2
Chasing Fire - 4/1
Strong Leader - 5/1
Palace Boy - 25/1

2 places, 1/4 the odds.

I don't want to get carried away on silly novely bets but I'd fancy Chasing Fire to beat all of them.

Will have 2 pts on him and forget about it

Does it say how many have tried since and their SP by any chance? I can't imagine many novices use headgear anyway?

Just had a look back at the last 10yrs on RP, it's not a particularly long list of talent it's been used by tbf.

2022 - Kilcruit (6/1 SP), Dysart Dynamo (9/4J), Bring On The Night (28/1)
2021 - Soaring Glory (10/1)
2020 - Whatsnotoknow (100/1)
2019 - Vision D'honneur (12/1), Grand Sancy (14/1), Brandon Castle (25/1)
2018 - Mengli Khan (20/1), Slate House (20/1), Dame Rose (40/1), Shoal Boy (80/1), Khudha (200/1), Saxo Jack (200/1)
2017 - Cilaos Emery (12/1)
2016 - Charbel (16/1), Petit Mouchoir (20/1), Holly Bush Henry (40/1)
2015 - Velvet Maker (40/1)
2014 - Germany Calling 100/1
2013 - Pique Sous (25/1), Fire King (200/1), Ostentation (200/1)

No horse wearing any type of headgear has won since Flown in 1992 - Diverge in 1st time tongue tie for this. IET hooded again.

Diverge have so many trends to defy surely. IET not so much, apart from that one.

Paddy are going after FV in their 'power prices' for this race.

WH doing so too with a 60/1 new customer offer, quid max.

Finally Il Etait Temps getting some love. Into 6.4 on BFX. Vega drifting slightly to 3.75. Looks like 3/1 the field could be on. Great to see a competitive opener again!

Beautiful to hear

That interview with Patrick didn't inspire confidence re Diverge. Words close to "We'll be hoping he settles and looking to pick up the pieces for 3rd or 4th".

I thought he looked much better when he was given his head and allowed to run free. Would prefer his chances front running.

…11/4 boosted with 365.

[Kevloaf]

Facile Vega going to be 3/1 at some point, I smell it.

5/1 Marine Nationale can't be far off now either.....

[charlie]

As predicted IET is being smashed up. If MN hit 6/1 or more I might go in as a saver. That would feel dirty.

[Big Bucks]

Boyles have pushed him to 3/1 in their OFF the Fence enhancement. They must talk him up in their show.

[isitmarchyet]

5/1 Marine Nationale can't be far off now either.....

Yeah, hoping this happens in the morning, or maybe even earlier. Fully expecting IET to be second fav soon enough so surely only a matter of time before a decent MN drift. Will be a good chance to top up. Might add a bit more on some of the outsiders too but don't want to go too crazy, lol.

[Altior]

IET gone second fav
