NH Season Starts Soon - What are you looking forward to?

I'll be there with an ex native OTL, but it would be good to catch up for a drink on course.

100% - will give you a shout closer to time

I wonder when he goes over hurdles how much improvement there is to come as essentially an experienced and older horse. He'll win nice races, but you've got to think others will improve past him by the time the Festival comes round.

Yea agreed I have zero interest in him myself, same with the next in the market Jasmin De Vaux. He was the 50/1 bumper winner last year for FJ but I don't see him as a hugely exciting prospect.

Very easy to look beyond them 2 for me personally.

Yeah, no interest in tying up funds on him for the Supreme for me.

You'd hope there would be a fair few better than him on the day and even leading up to the festival.

For me it’s similar to a lot of FJs ie receiving the badge (done); getting psyched up for the Oct meeting; but in the meantime making sure I take advantage of AP to build a basic set of bets across as many March races as possible. The forum helps tremendously. It’s the looking forward to finding new champions that really drives me. That first pint in the I Duran e Bar is getting ever closer even at close on £8 this year!

Im looking forward to it all!

I want to like the flat. I try and like the flat. I used to bet on the flat. But its shite in comparison IMO

I hope we see more competition on this side of the Irish see. Nicky had a fairly quiet season by his standards so I'd like to see his string firing once again.

Would love to see Fact To File take the step out of novice company and become a real star.

Looking forward to saying in a few weeks that I wont go nuts on the NHC this year..........before backing 10+ horses by xmas

Watching Gordon scum bag the XC will be funny. Couple of trips over for some cheeky schooling, few rallying efforts on trials day to finish 5th or 6th before pissing up in March.

Cannot wait!

What are your thoughts on the CCC returning to a handicap Charlie?? Will it make any difference at all with a large group of highly rated horses still running in it, having the race to themselves and making everything else run out of the handicap??

A month or so give or take a few days until we'll get our hands on the WP Mullins Sporting Life Stable Tour - not that it will likely reveal much

The speed for 2m, the pedigree for 3. But jumps hurdles like a champion hurdler!
