2025 Novice Hurdlers

[Eggs]

’Derryhassen Paddy is in the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle, and we had intended running him at Haydock, but the ground was too fast. He had plenty of ability and I would say at this stage he is as good a horse as Brindisi Breeze who won the Albert Bartlett for us. We think he is a really good horse.

The yellow clay going turners.

To quote a fellow…sweet cherry nipples

Dineen and Jennings have both tipped Juracon for the Morebattle this weekend

Hopefully hes declared tomorrow, he also has an entry at newbury which had dampened my enthusiasm slightly already

We'll See how it plays out

[Wayward Lad]

Hopefully that helps mate

The Yellow Clay is the 4-1 market leader for the Albert Bartlett and a best-priced 7-1 chance for the Turners, but Elliott is favouring a tilt at the latter.

He said: "We'll probably run The Yellow Clay and Bleu De Vassy in the Turners. Plenty of people are saying The Yellow Clay should run in the Albert Bartlett but I don't think he's as slow as they make out. At the moment, we're planning to go for the Turners."

Probably, at the moment we're to go to....I'm not convinced yet,but I've little skin in the Yellow Clay game.

Yeah I agree. I had a little top up at 40/1 with PP in their Antepost section.

Thanks for highlighting
0.5 pt e/w is just what I needed at 40/1

The Turners this season reminds me of the 2019 renewal, when City Island won the race. That was a poor year.

But a little bit of hope, as the same owners also have James's Gate, I was surprised to see him still at 12's NRNB after the Kawaboomga news, that said he hasn't done a whole heap, but what he has done he's done pretty easily.

Yes, I'd rather back 8 year old James's Gate, than The New Lion I'll get some pelters for that, no doubt, haha!

Final Demand will be this seasons Champ, should have gone 3m, end up finishing 2nd to something with a turn of foot.

I have to disagree with this! Champ is The New Lion and Final Demand is Battleoverdoyen. Potters Charm is Bright Forecast.

…I wonder if Kiss Will might now head Turners.

Won impressively on debut, if I remember rightly Mullins indicated straight to Supreme whereas Ruby Walsh suggested he’d be even better with a step-up. Perhaps one that’s a little under the radar, although a few firms not taking a chance have him at 16s.

Make that 2 of us

I backed him on bf couple weeks back when i was told the Coral weren't on the cards, he'd have a small chance in the race for sure

Just got that feel of a 'City Island' type of season. Probably complete bias with James's Gate though as he runs in the same colours, so a case of seeing what I want to

Please please please send Kopek to the Turners (I can only hope)

That would be the dream. We are back to square one with the mcmanus runners. I am in two minds whether Kaid D'authie will go to Cheltenham. If Kawaboomga was fit I'd say he wouldn't. They already have The New Lion which is Skeltons mount so we are back to Kel Histoire and Kaid for Walsh. Kaid has been taken out of the Supreme though so declaration day could be interesting.

edit :- I know the jockey arrangements would have been the same anyway so the last bit doesn't really make sense. Wonder if they will let Irancy take his chance in the Supreme

[Durham Edition]

Whereas the Supreme looks loaded.
I wonder whether there'll be a shifting of targets, otherwise there could be some seriously talented horses finishing 4th and 5th if they all stand their ground...
