….no Anno Power, I suppose that’s unsurprising.

The last two winners to have won the Jane Seymour at Sandown to then run in the Mares novice hurdle, have won it.
Nicky Henderson has decided to not enter Holloway queen for the mares novice hurdle on the same day hes declared her for the race mentioned above.
But he appears to have left her in the Turners novice hurdle.
I'm not sure I agree with what he's done here, not that it matters

Been looking through this more and think found couple at a price that are interesting....both for Henry
Air Of Entitlement - think i put this up previously....strong PTP form and won a 2m4f at Xmas with 119 RPR (fav only ran 120). Robcour and we know Henry good with mares and has won this before. Def could improve significantly.
Tareze - Recorded 124 RPR few days ago and with awful Henry form could prob mark this up a bit. Won 2/3 and another who could easily run into the 130's needed
Both look value and likely to run, so could take longer exchange prices if wantFat Jockey Patron (est. Jan 2021)Comment

Was a welcome surprise to see Venusienne entered in this. Was one I’d added way back in Oct when well hyped in OJA but latest update was had a setback (Nov time) - as a maiden in France may be one Willie throws in FTO (same applies to Kom Tu Voudras) similar to what he did with Concertista in 2019/20Comment

Holygrove cha cha made all to win the Jane Seymour at Sandown.
A race which has proven fruitful the last couple of times the winner has gone on to the Mares novice hurdle. Both went on to win.
Love envoi and youwearitwell. The latter trained by Jamie Snowden, who also trains today's winner holygrove cha cha.
Youwearitwell won the MNH at cheltenham when making all, she also had tried the same tactics In her Jane Seymour win but was headed for a portion of that race (5th to 2 out).
Youwearitwell wouldn't have been on many peoples radars after her win 2 years ago, and probably the same will apply to this mare after todays win.
I can see holygrove cha cha being very difficult to peg back over the MNH trip, I know jubilee alpha beat her at Taunton but id take this one to reverse that form at Cheltenham.Comment

50/1 NRNB for Familar Dreams must be worth considering before she runs 'today'
Obviously beaten by Maughreen last time, so needs to step forward, but surely does step forward and gets a run, or doesn't and doesn't go?
as mentioned on the novice hurdler thread though, Familar Dreams 'today' with Maughreen or/and Sixandahalf could be worth consideringComment

I know it's nrnb, but her jumping was absolutely dreadful last time. The phrase "jumps like a snooker table" is thrown around a lot, but she's deserving of it more than most. Not sure she's that big though, maybe jumps like a ping pong table is more suitable. I think I saw gordon saying she wasn't near fit but fitness wasn't why she was thrashed.Originally posted by Kevloaf View Post
I've seen miraculous turn arounds before when it comes to jumping so she may well improve at it, and not sure if that race at cheltenham is the biggest test of jumping anyway. But she still needs to improve a lot at it, she jumped every hurdle pretty woefully.Comment

‘Diva got a bug early season, and we got her back to run at Lingfield, but I knew she wasn’t ready that day. She came to Cheltenham on New Year’s Day and won and it was an ok race. She again looked pretty good this morning and I slightly feel we are getting her where we need her. She was exceptional in bumpers last year and she is a brilliant jumper and a very straightforward horse to train. I just haven’t been able to get her to sing. Her coat this morning looked particularly good and Keilan Woods who rides her every day seems to think she is back to her best and if she is she will be competitive in the Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle.

If you fancy Diva Luna, you have to really like Jubilee Alpha too surely
Diva Luna a bit better without obstacles ..... with them, JA has better form?
Not seen many Jubilee Alpha fans?Comment

A bit like BP I do think there's a lot more to come from DL . She jumps very well so no issues there. She also has course form so no issues there. Just needs to hit her Aintree form to be involved. Maybe she's a 'spring' Mare ?Comment
