Fairly impressive there from Kiss Will.
Hasn't beaten much BUT did it with ease and the front two pulled well clear of thr remainder.
more impressive than FF yesterday anyway (imo)
Is there time to get another run in (comfortably) before Cheltenham - or one you'd keep for the later festivals...??

I think a lot of the WPM runners this week will likely be social runners, 2nd or 3rd string, if they go to the festivals.
Surely if they are up the pecking order they would have been out at Xmas like the rest of the ‘top novices’ in the yard.
That’s the way I see it, for all we have seen 2 or 3 good performances.

Both kiss will and funiculi funicula have been balloted out of earlier races, maybe even twice each, while also being due to run at a meeting that was abandoned. So it's not by design that they are out late.

Either way though, surely they would have been out over Xmas which is the main time, well December anytime (weather delayed this year) for WPM’s main novices? Not saying they can’t win etc but having been balloted out or whatever reason they haven’t run till now, as EE says, they’ll likely not get another race in or not one upped in Grade to test them at the DRF with only being 3 weeks away. Even then are any of them likely to be 1st string which was more my point as well.
