2025 Novice Hurdlers

[Runragged]

To put into context, Final Demand won by 12 lengths from Wingman, with Wingman seemingly not getting home the way he was paddling near the end. The Yellow Clay beat him by 11 lengths over 2f shorter. Don't think there is much between them, though Final Demand probably open to further improvement considering his lack of experience and ease of win. Best chance of winning is surely the AB, though if Kopek does flop it raises a big question as to which race he will run.

Think he’s too good for Spuds personally….guess see what Kopek does

[Exar Essay]

A lot of umming and ahhing, but Willie said he could go up or down in trip. Nick Luck then said “but perhaps not
up in trip yet.” And Willie replied “perhaps not” as he waltzed away.

[Kevloaf]

Could force Yellow Clay down the Turners

Hasn't that always been The Yellow Clays target?

[BuckingThe Trend]

Very impressive. Kopek will have to better that to be Willies Turners horse. Wingmen a very nice Albert trial. Jasmin ran well.

JDV still has not learned the hurdles are for jumping. My eye was drawn to him at a few hurdles and each time he didn't meet them on a perfect stride he fluffed it. And there were plenty he fluffed. I would not put a penny of mine on him.

So absolutely no idea then

Kopek tomorrow will be the decider you'd think

What else has Willie got that could win the Albert Bartlett. I think that could be a factor.

[CJW]

He looks class, I think he'll be suited to the bartlett race, cracking Staying chaser in the making.

Good point. Answer could be Kopek of course....

[Faugheen_Machine]

If Kopek puts in a performance tomorrow then Townend has got his 3 Novice rides.

Like many on here, I'm praying he does. I've got them in a trixie

Not entered but could be supplemented i suppose

[Hurricane fly]

I hope not

[Lobos]

Even better point

He won't be.

The owner has jet blue for the spud race so would make sense for final demand to go turners (imo) don't know if she gets involved in race placement though !

Ummmmmmm.....that's a proper spanner thrown in for us FD Albert backers.

What will be will be.
