2025 Novice Hurdlers

He also sent the 2017 winner, Let's Dance, to win the MNH. They thought that was their best chance of collecting the bonus on offer.

That was when the race was over 2m4f though wasn't it? I think 2018 it changed to 2m6f...

I'm expecting Final Demand to take his chance, be PT pick and take the honours. The question will be whether he moves up to AB or back to the Turners. The AB is the only race I'd back him for but that doesn't mean he wouldn't take his chance in the Turners. Willie has won this race and sent horses to both festival races so there is no clear trend.

Final Demand
He's my fav for the Nathaniel Lacy by a long way.

Supersundae would be the 2nd pick.

Had the Bartlett covered for Final Demand after the superb Limerick debut, and he looked nailed on for the NL the moment I watched the race.

(Even covered him for the Turners too, as if he wins as I think he could then he would plummet in the betting for both races).

Hoping Willie has the NL sorted with those.

Salvator Mundi declared, along with Kel Histoire!

It may hinge on how well he settles . Was a little keen fto. If he wins and settles I’d fully expect AB. If he fails to relax I’d have my doubts.

Noticed the H & T after Paul Townends name, what does this mean? Headgear? Tongue tie?

Hope I'm wrong, as going for the headgear first time up this season by Willie is not something he normally does, is it?

Wore the hood at Tipperary so wouldn’t concern me to be honest. Tongue tie not sure about.

Yep, hood and tongue tie

Both worn in last years Triumph, so nothing unusual.

I'd be surprised if he has the boot for the Turners and everyone should know my views about horses that could be Turners or AB

Bit harsh on PT having to wear all that

Should be Patrick getting that

I'd settle for him going to the Bartlett, for sure, that's my hope.

Have others for Turners, but don't want to miss having decent prices on both races, if he wins the NL well...and I'm waiting for the WPM post-race interview and comments......

In case he says good horses can go any trip, and I don't see the need to go 3M yet

[HoldenTheReins]

Is anyone concerned about the tongue tie being back on Mundi?

Oh there is a very good possibility he could go for the Turners, it's just I don't see him as the winner. Willie sent GDM to the Turners after this and he didn't have that boot needed. It may have been to preserve his future though and that could again be the case with Final Demand.

Final Demand will likely be top of my BANC squad for next season. I hate the cliche but this year is filler for him until he goes over the big ones.
