2025 Novice Hurdlers

[Guinness Village]

I wouldn’t fancy a winner of a maiden hurdle, that hasn’t even contested a graded race for the supreme. If William hill go 7 places, then I think they’ve both got a chance of placing
the top 3 in the betting are there on merit.
personally think that coolio has a great chance. Grade 1 winner, festival placed.

Not going to say which is more likely to be win the Supreme , but I’m confident Romeo could have done what WM did today.
Main thing imo is we have another player in the race after today.
50 wtaf was quite generous I thought.
Might add a bit e/w as well.

The Maughreen hurdles form gets tested tomorrow, with Familiar Dreams (14:50 Punchestown) even money against a couple of Willie horses

Or the Sixandahalf flat form


Either way, hoping for a win!

I'm just glad William Munny is a player again.... I think he was my first bet for this festival and looked a busted flush at one point

Likewise here ... .

Interesting enough race the Supreme I reckon. You can use William Munny as a boost for Workahead and Kopek if you really want to. In fact you can make Workahead look a huge price if you wanted to

Think William Munny is learning though isn't he. I'd quit like him to be a good one. Even though I'd already cashed out my Supreme bet on him at a loss...

I think he looked a totally different horse yesterday. On previous runs seeing him in the frame was difficult but yesterday he looked much more like the real deal. I’m not sure it can be used as a boost for those ahead of him in previous runs though as this performance was so much better.

I really like the chances of Tripoli flyer in the dovecote today, and I think he's going to put in a performance to take serious note of.

He probably first showed his potential in the bumper at Aintree grand national meeting, finishing 2nd after hitting the front 3f out, which was ultimately too soon but was a result of just how well he was travelling.
He got beat by his stablemate and I got the feeling fergal was slightly surprised which of his won, that's how highly I feel he rates Tripoli.
The right horses finished 3rd and 4th that day, with good and clever running with credit in grade 1s and valgrand well fancied for the county off 134 this season.
His stablemate ,horaces pearl who won ,also remains unbeaten, however hasnt been seen since winning on hurdle debut.

On Tripolis hurdle debut he was ridden just off the pace the leader set with the front 3 some 25 lengths ahead around the halfway mark.
Jurancon and tripoli flyer easily picked off the pace setter and carried on the battle up the run in.
Jurancon clearly working the harder of the 2.
Jurancon jumped across tripoli flyer at the last flight and with that his chances were probably gone.
I felt that Johnny Burke was wary of getting to the front too soon with him on this occasion after what had happened at Aintree and i think he is a better horse than jurancon, by a considerable amount.

His last 2 victories have been nothing that wasnt expected, but the impression he has left is their is plenty more to come. And he is a very quick horse when he has had to be, very quick.

On a line through good and clever he has a bit to find with miami magic today, but i think that one has been fully tested and we know his limit, whereas i think theres good reason to believe tripoli can be a minimum mid 140s horse, im hoping much more.

I havent bet him for the supreme as a single, yet, but i have had a big bet on him today, and ive also doubled him up with jurancon 14/1 for the morebattle for a 59/1 double.
