2024 Novice Hurdlers

[FinalFurlong91]

Let's be honest

On form jeriko should be 33/1 if not 50s

If he hadn't been a massive talking horse we wouldn't even be considering him

He needs to improve a stone and a half

My bets are in my mind in the bin

Nicky is a genius but he'd need to be Gandalf to get this horse to win on what hes shown on the track

[FinalFurlong91]

Another that's probably a stone short of his main rivals.

That was a racecourse gallop

Those horses she beat today would be the non triers 100 lengths out the back in Ireland

She gets there penalty free but we still have no idea if she will find anything off the bridle

Yeah, I'd have the two Irish horses 140+
She looks exactly what she is, mid 130's handicapper.

I see two scenarios with her

Mainly due to the way she travels so strongly and what will happen when she gets asked to find for pressure

1) She will find plenty and win easily
2) She will find nothing up the hill and fade badly on the run in

with horses that travel like that its always possible if not very likely they are already running as fast as they can without the jockey asking

So when they do get asked they don't have anything more to give

As it stands scenario 2 seems more likely

Totally agree…,,win or place lay

I think if we're honest.
The flirtation with the UK based novice hurdler's particularly over the 2 speedier divisions is looking over.
They've fully undressed and it turns out they've got a cock.

Maybe but I’m not as convinced as some that farren glory was going to win emphatically and he is 3rd in of the Irish. I personally think it’s wide open and at this point don’t feel compelled to look one side of the Irish Sea or the other just yet. Yes I’d certainly be favouring the Irish but not with such let’s we say graphic language

Jack picked Firefox on RTC without hesitation or even mention of Farren Glory

That the same Firefox ran the other day?

[Rooster Booster]

Yes but perhaps that’s because he just took a really nasty fall and jack has good knowledge of how he is as a result. Who knows but that’s just as feasible as assuming it’s because he considers Firefox in a different league. I hope he’s right as I’m on Firefox fir a nice amount and not got a penny on FG but I’m in no way getting giddy about Firefox coz jack picked him on rtc.

Jack Kennedy answered a question on Road To Cheltenham saying if he had to say what he'd ride in each novice race now it'd be

Supreme - Firefox
Baring Bingham - Caldwell Potter
Albert Bartlett - Croke Park
Mares Novice - Brighterdaysahead
Triumph - Mighty Bandit

336140/1 ante post

Although with two getting sold next week they might not be in Gordon's for him to ride, but still - interesting all the same at a wild price.

Of these Firefox over Farren glory and Mighty Bandit over Kala Conti were very interesting
