Supreme Novices’ Hurdle
The news suggests that Get Me Out Of Here’s objective at the Cheltenham Festival is to do well in this race. If that is the case, then he will be popular each-way, as he already has a good rating to win most renewals of this race.
Peddlers Cross will not be lining up in this race as the Neptune has been mentioned by his trainer as his targeted race to do well in. To add to this Henry De Bromhead also said that the Neptune is where he would prefer to run Loosen My Load. Look out for the both of them.
Paul Nicholls has confirmed that his representative will be Pepe Simo rather than Ghizao, who also heads to the Neptune, it’s difficult to see how he will be able to compete. The same can be said of Salden Licht who was a big disappointment in the Dovecote. His likely race in the festival is the County Hurdle.
Flat Out is a second Willie Mullins to consider, in addition to Blackstairmountain, as he won on his hurdling debut at Punchestown a little over a week ago, in a time 7 seconds faster than Won In the Dark recorded in another race that day. He has also won again since and didn’t do badly in last season’s Champion Hurdle. According to Mullins he is bound for this race and his prominent style of racing is well suited to the race.
