2024 Triumph Hurdle (Juveniles)

[Carnage at Taunton]

Missed prices, will definitely be one for next double odds offer for me

[FinalFurlong91]

The question is will Nicholls have a runner and expect cobden to ride

Could end up with Skelton on him

[Lobos]

Very impressed. Superb ride. He'll be better on better ground as well you'd think. Mullins and Gordon's to come though.

And possibly Nicky too. The question will be whether Milan Tino ran to his French form or not.

Going off the price he did I'm assuming so. The mission now is to get his mark down for the boodles you'd imagine. The winner might just have too much speed for the jumpers.

If he did then there is a case that Burdett is on par with Jigme’s performance.

[Liammet]

First race 26 seconds outside standard

must be deeper than it looks or the first winner didn’t beat much

interesting to see how the times compare in the later races

Flat bred so might just be too quick for the jumpers. You'd imagine he'll be better on quicker ground also.

Time for second race also pretty slow for "Soft"
Slowest time run in the race by 9 seconds or so.

He’s ran pretty quickly when actually asked to do something on soft ground there
Better ground would suit him more no doubt
Needs to improve jumping imo, but that was impressive on that ground.

Yep, jumping needs brushing up. He sets the standard for sure. Need to see Sir Gino and Mullins' french imports now.

Nabbed a bit of 12-1 with Corals straight after the Race ... 7 -1 now !! . their Quick. .

[Runragged]

Concur with everything been said here with regards Burdett Road. Was suitably impressed to nab 10/1 after the race and it's not often I do that as I like to sit back and assess the form and run a little later with a clear head. However, though his jumping needs a little improvement, there is still 4 months till the Festival to iron it out. He travelled so well in a reasonable field with Cobden happy to settle him a couple of lengths out the back. But to then run up the hill like that is something I can't recall seeing before from a 3yo! To do so also on ground arguably softer than he may prefer was a sight to see. I'm usually reluctant to get carried away with these flat horses turning to jumps but at a double figure price and likely to turn up at Cheltenham unbeaten then he had to be got onside.

My biggest concern is they over race him. He had a long season on the flat running 11 times between the end of October 2022 and end of August 2023, only missing two months when not having a race. Now two runs in the space of a couple of weeks. Think I would prefer to see him given a nice winter break before brought back for a prep in February.

My main worries would be..

- Yesterday on the old course, would he like the test on the new track? Wouldnt be able to use that kick he had yesterday

- Flattered also by beating handicappers at best?


Did look a bit of a wow performance mind, one for me to watch on his next run against hopefully better opponents.

[Kevloaf]

If that doesn't win ride of the season it'll be a robbery

Cobden must have a serious set of hands on him to get that horse to settle

Ride of the season should be for when the horse wins because of the jockey?

I think the horse has won by too far to say that without a brilliant ride he wouldn't have won

IMO anyway that would not even make the shortlist for 'ride of the season'
