    Novice Hurdlers 21/22

    Don't think this has a thread yet

    Two good ones both sides of the sea this weekend

    My Mate Mozzie at Navan today and Knappers Hill for Nicholls yesterday
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    The one today at Sandown - Bombs Away - looked to have a bit about him. Worth keeping an eye on, at least.

    I think the idea of skipping Cheltenham with your best long-term prospects (as novice hurdlers) is gaining ground. It may be the best UK based novices may not turn up. Of course, may mop up before and after.

    Think with my drogo last year and Nicholls repeatedly saying that he couldn't believe what happened bravemansgame, I think there will be some/more tempted to leave Cheltenham for the following year.

    Will be crowds at Cheltenham this term and owners allowed to see horses

    This really wont be an issue unless a horse wants to go right handed

    As short as 3s for the Supreme is shocking though, unsurprising but shocking at this stage.

    Must confess he looks like a future star but we should reserve our judgement until after his next run back at Newbury.

    If he can defy the penalty with ease and the race is decent then he might just be the real deal.

    Uncanny to think Sprinter Sacre, Altior, Shishkin and this fellow all ending up having won the Arkle.

    Kilcruit & Dysart Dynamo declared for the two legs of Cork's maiden hurdle on Sunday

    Looks like there is an issue with the Mullins horses. I wouldnt underestimate the winner all the same.

    Yep, winner should be good but the runner up didn't run his race
