    I was watching for that too. When you see his point win on the turn for home he also tried to go right. Something to keep an eye on next time out.

      Looked to me like it was Nico taking him over for some company. Once he went on he was straight as an arrow.

        Won as expected, I think the thing to take from that is that they looked to go a fair enough clip and he jumped lovely, as well as any novice so far.
        Just about every furlong was sub 15 seconds, so the pace was sound, jumped beautifully and learned how to avoid the local nutter. All in all backers should be chuffed.

        • I think the 2nd there king william rufus has run more like the level he showed in his bumpers rather than his efforts over hurdles so far.
          a 2nd in a bumper to captain teague and a 3rd to gidleigh park he's no donkey on them runs
          Was a very nice debut from jeriko

            Yeah, I'm waiting for the WIllmount fans (I'm looking at you Lobos) to tell us King William Rufus was 36 lengths behind Willmount but only 3 1/4 behind Jeriko! But don't worry, I've done it for you now

            I think Jeriko was fully held together there by Nico, would have extended plenty further I imagine.

                absolutely he could've, was a good educational ride by nico. something he's very good at, especially with such a calm horse, even though he probably wanted to go much faster, he wasn't keen at al and did the job very nicely.
                i'm impressed

                • Willmount, Jeriko, Jango

                  Henderson has a proper Supreme army there.

                    • Nice to finally see a JP good en held on to like it's life depends on it but actually win. Jumped nicely I thought, time will tell on everything else. Centara warrants rocket emojis but not in the usual manner.

                      • 4/1 is daft but I'm not sure the 10s will last too long. that's a couple of points bigger than the exchange.

                        Nice debut. Hurdled very well and looks to have a good cruising speed. No need to step up in trip anyway.

                        • I liked that run, jumps smoothly and has an engine. Yes didn't beat much but clearly has more to give. Look forward to seeing how much. Nice one to have in the pocket come the supreme, and hope that it will be as good a contest as it's shaping up to be with the prospects we've seen so far and reputations of those to come

                          • That was lovely - yes the 4/1 is ridiculous, but the biggest thing I'm taking from that is who has done it. Maybe something, maybe nothing but when the stable sponsors go short, I'm happy to have the rose tinted glasses on and think that's a good sign for backers!

                              Nico was looking around for dangers on Willmount so he was good for more than 36l. He's deffo still my number1

                              • Willmount and jeriko were given very different rides

                                Jeriko was held up and ridden like a fast horse with nico not touching him

                                Willmount was prominent and ridden like a galloper and kicked on a good way for home

                                Impossible for jeriko to win as far the way he was ridden

                                Any ideas where jeriko will go next with the kennel gate having been removed?
