Novice Hurdlers 13/14

[links781]

I have no ground worries,only the slowing down going in the hurdle.He will improve for more pace in the ground and oppossition.fingers crossed

 

[Frankel]

I do think Lieutenant Colonel will run very well.

 

[Hamm]

I do think Lieutenant Colonel will run very well.

So do I.

Probably the ew bet at 14s.

Would prefer Faugheen though!

 

[EC1]

i think Faugheen is a little overrated..Red Sherlock has better form imo and should be fav..will have a go on him

 

[JamesRB]

really are amazing the similarities between faugheen and pont alex last year. lets hope he gets a better result today.

 

[EC1]

he's not overrated

 

[Harbinger]

Impressive win considering he absolutely flattened a couple there.

 

[granger]

Proper horse. Gears and an engine

 

[JamesRB]

be some horse if he jumped better. brilliant engine.

 

[Cruella]

If he learns to jump them all like he jumped the last, he'll be unbeatable.

 

[Jakers]

Serious performance given the two or three jumping errors

 

[fonz]

Played safe and went for the place at 1.45 so not as good as could have been
But that was so good to watch

 

[chroniclandlord]

Cracking performance despite the errors.

 

[links781]

If Briar Hill is their best then he must be a Concorde.what an engine on faugheen,serious serious serious tool.

 

[granger]

Something very beautiful about spotting a good bumper horse and seeing it progress through the ranks.

 

[Hamm]

That was seriously impressive. And yet he ran like he is still a little green so lots of scope for improvement. Champion Hurdle winner next season?

 

[links781]

Rsa winner?

 

[Simon]

Good jesus, if they teach it to jump what will beat it?

 

[granger]

Still plenty green. Doesn't strike me initially as a champ hurdler. Such a pot of riches for Ricci. May depend how Annie fares

 

[links781]

He'll be chasing

 

[chroniclandlord]

I may be wrong but he doesn't look overly big.

 

[granger]

I may be wrong but he doesn't look overly big.

Won his point fto

 

[granger]

Mullins and Ricci both totally smitten on Vatour

Faugheen whilst impressive is viewed as second best for now

 

[chroniclandlord]

If any credence can be given to Patrick Mullins, he said at pretty well every preview that Briar Hill was the stable nap.

 

[Frankel]

Faugheen was indeed impressive.
