2025 Novice Hurdlers

[jrjr]

What will Gordon run in the Turners then do you think?

If my scenario is correct then he probably won’t have a runner. In my opinion, the Yellow Clay is his only novice capable of winning a non-handicap race at the Festival and I don’t think he will win the Turners. The race he has the best chance in is the AB.

Of course, Gordon may see it differently, have more faith in Wingmen than I do, or connections may want a runner in both, in which case the YC will probably run in the Turners with Wingmen in the Bartlett.

Yep, he had no runner last year.
And American Mike the year before (which doesn't count )

Wingmen looks like getting a 4th run at the DRF, I originally hoped The Yellow Clay would be Turners bound, and Wingmen Albert Bartlett bound

Minella Sixo, The Enabler, plus others, so I'd say he's got plenty of Bartlett & Martin Pipe options.

Well I hope so, as I think The Yellow Clay is still Turners bound

I really should take the NRNB Bartlett price



I think I have a soft spot for the owners and these 'types' because of Ginto

Think that will happen.
Wingmen improved in his last run imo and looks a real AB type.
TYC could win either race imo.
But I will go with what the trainer said, for now anyway.

I'm all over The Yellow Clay for the Bartlett from very early on, but have to confess I find it very likely he ends up in the Turners now.

Need a spring ground Fez for that to happen which is unlikely going by recent years

More Kaid D'Authie form in the bin then?

Bit of a stretch, not like they were anywhere near him?

Hasn't franked the form, but in the bin is OTT

More Kaid D'Authie form in the bin then?

Both beaten far enough in that maiden to probably not deep it too much imo

[Carnage at Taunton]

Not sure I want to use these desperate ground races to form a definite opinion on various form lines

I've got him backed but not a huge fan, like there seems to be this following on here for him but I'm yet to be convinced and bar his win, all we have to go in is collateral form, currently.

DRF will shape it up nicely, I expect him to be beat by Kopek assuming his jumping has improved.

[Lobos]

More Kaid D'Authie form in the bin then?

Yep, been a few now. Still not backed him single yet and just might hold off now and go with what I have. Kopek will hopefully put him to bed next week anyway.

[JackieMoon33]

He's 50/1 because he's crap.

Amen to that. I had him as a preseason potential for the AB but he’s just not up to it at any distance at present.
