2024 Novice Hurdlers

[ComplyOrDie]

Captain Teague been declared for Friday then. As has Kinbara, who I've taken at 50/1 for the AB. The former showing too much pace for the staying on latter would be ideal.

I'm hoping Kinbara does Captain Teague for stamina Got CT backed Supreme & Ballymore only! Kinbara for the Bartlett only.

Yea, in a similar position. And I guess that's the other option. Although I'm not sure CT getting beaten can be acceptable for those bets. Supreme maybe if it's obviously a samina issue.

Trainer name dropped the Albert Bartlett for Kinbara in a recent stable tour. He’s one of two I’ve got onside for the race.

Good record in Friday's race too

How has he?

[Quevega]

How has he?

Has he ever had a runner in the race ?

[Rooster Booster]

Not sure but he’s certainly never won it…

[Saxon Warrior]

It's not a race he's targeted his Bartlett prospects in before.

I think those races were October and December meetings.

Maybe it's those meetings I'm thinking of.
kept you guys busy searching for a bit.

[Carnage at Taunton]

I'm still haunted by the Tizzard yoke winning. Fairly sure he won at the December meeting and then followed up.

It still hurts...

Yep….. Kilbricken Storm 33/1
Remember it well

[Eggs]

I'm hoping Kinbara does Captain Teague for stamina Got CT backed Supreme & Ballymore only! Kinbara for the Bartlett only.

…..guesswork but in his stable tour McConnell seemed quite bullish about Intense Approach. I notice he also has an entry on Friday (Wexford) and Kinbara’s regular jockey is on him. 50-1 AB still available for Kinbara whilst Intense Approach is 33-1.

I’m hoping for a WTAF price for Intense Approach.

Someone down the RP is smoking crack to have given Down Memory Lane a hurdles debut RPR of just 116 for that effort over the weekend?

The ratings can only be on what you beat and how far, so winning on the snaff can only count for so much, with those ratings, maybe not another 20lb more

Probably why some do their own ratings over the top of RPRs (and similar) to enhance the figures further for those that looked like they hosed up.

He will probably be in the Grade 1 Royal Bond next, only 2-and-a-half weeks to wait to test his ability and rating again.

[JackieMoon33]

That was my first thought. Looks a talented horse to me and I was scrambling to cover my Ballymore bets with a supreme saver.

i think JackieMoon33 put him up as one he was particularly keen on at the end of the season.

I think he'll be talented enough for either race but I have him only in the Ballymore.

If rated objectively then he's definitely got a fair mark. Horses being held up are at the mercy of the front runners in those races in regards to the race time.
