Cheltenham Festival Novice Hurdlers: Is No Drama This End the Real Deal? Value Plays & Dark Horses

from The Final Furlong Podcast · host The Final Furlong Podcast

It’s Novice Hurdlers Week on The Final Furlong Podcast as Emmet Kennedy, Adam Mills, and Jamie Wrenn take a forensic look at the horses lining up for the three other major Cheltenham Festival novice hurdles: • Turners Novices’ Hurdle• Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle• Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle And we start with the big question… is No Drama This End the right favourite at 7/2, or is the Paul Nicholls buzz horse there to be taken on? The boys debate whether the market has this one right - or whether one of the improvers can mow him down come March. 🟩 RUNNERS DISCUSSED - CONTENDERS, RISERS & SLEEPERS Turners & Bartlett potentials: Skylight Hustle, Ill Sort That, Sober, Sortudo, Doctor Du Mesnil, Idaho Sun, Lazare De Star, Act Of Innocence, The Reverend, Doctor Steinberg, You Proof Mares’ Novice challengers: Bambino Fever, Oldschool Outlaw, La Conquiere, Larinka, Place De La Nation Form lines, ground angles, staying power, trainer intent -every profile gets tested. 🟦 BIG QUESTIONS ANSWERED • Should you take 7/2 about No Drama This End — or lay him all day?• Which novices are improving faster than the market admits?• Who’s likely to shorten between now and Trials Day?• Which festival-only horses the team are most excited about? One panellist has a “bet before they run again” pick…and another flags a horse who could be half his current price come March.
