He's had 4 wins and 5 places from 23 runs since sending out runners in his own name.
The 2m novice hurdle this afternoon as Exeter is usually won by a good one (Yanworth, Sporting John recently) and today I reckon it will be Nicholl’s Bravemnasgame. He’s short enough but was clear 2nd at Chepstow to Jonjo’s smart Soaring Glory and that should be good enough today, even without any improvement

He couldn’t have done it any easier and looks a goon un…
He does Ben. He's the type that Nicholls will look after this season, and he'll make a very nice novice chaser next season.
That also paid a very nice compliment to Soaring Glory. Jonjo is overdue a nice novice hurdler and he may well have one.
Agreed and didn’t realise until the race a. how much he cost (£300k+) and b. he's part owned by John Dance, who I thought was flat only...
Looking forward to seeing Soaring Glory again Thursday and having had a quick glance at the card, giving a penalty away to Amarillo Sky, Danehill Kodiak (100+ on the flat) and Dusart will be no gimme. Hopefully he's a backable price!
Soaring Glory, opened 5/6 with B365, have availed of the 33s for the supreme before it's all gone!!
I’ve had a nibble at the 33's as well. Negative it's been a long time since Jonjo had a festival novice, but much rather back him than Flinteur Sacre who’s not seen a hurdle at half the price...
2 above average novices
I think SG will need neptune trip though for AP backers
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Henderson likes to start his better novices at Newbury and he has Gran Luna out tomorrow, 2:00, although her odds will be prohibitive. He also fields Dusart, 12:55, in opposition to Soaring Glory and it’ll be interesting to see how he copes.
Good luck if you are backing them, especially Grand Luna.
I don't know much about the opponents that Will Victory has beaten abroad, but he has some racing experience on his side plus he's won several races so could turn out to be useful himself. At the odds with Sam Twiston Davies booked to ride I actually think Will Victory is a bet.
What prices would they be if Charlie Mann trained Grand Luna etc, and Nicky Henderson trained Will Victory?
Anyways, it is merely another horse race, so anything can indeed happen, including the bleedin obvious, with this odds on favourite in the line up.
I'm prepared to lose, but obviously speculating to win, **** it.

No, not betting, just watching with interest.
Nothing wrong with that, Barj.

We saw plenty right from the start with this filly and she landed what I think was a strong bumper at Newbury before the sales bumper at the track, which we'd been eyeing, was cancelled due to the coronavirus. My hopes are high she can reach the top in mares' novice hurdles and show how talented she is. Trainer
Dusart won anyway. Nicky will have plenty of these
