Are this seasons Novice hurdlers a very poor bunch?

what is cue card 11-4 for?

Cue Card's run behind Menorah is a long way better than anything else put up by the others

People may say there's similarities between him and Dunguib, but that single piece of form is a long way better than anything produced by last year's favourite

Not seen anything from any other horse to suggest that they have Cue Card's number in the SN

11/4 is a great price imv

^^^ beginning to agree. Could anything be lurking somewhere?

Haven't seen one as yet.

Cue Card is currently rated 159, which is a rating more than good enough to win most Supremes.

I know it isn't often as simple as that, but I somehow think it is this year

last horse in novice year to be rated highted was hors la loi from memory

Having just posted on another thread about this i agree, the novice hurdlers we have this season so far are poor imo. CC's form behind Menorah is red hot form! I am having to wait until mid week before getting involved and want to see 5/2 but i am guessing after reading this thread he wont be 5/2 after tomorrow lol.

I felt also though that the only reason CC's price is holding is because of the uncertainty of Zaidpour and which race that one will contest. He is the clearest danger to CC and is a sure 2nd fav if starting in the supreme.

why won't be be 5/2 tomorrow?

Looks more than decent value at his current price ticks all the boxes

It was a poor attempt at some humour Howdi lol. All these very shrewd forumites in agreement of the same horse for the same Cheltenham race i fear bookies running scared, Dunguib was only 6/4 at this stage last term, and unlike dunguib, Cue Card can jump![;)]

Only time will tell if this seasons novice hurdlers are a poor bunch, I seem to recall last years Supreme form being crabbed after the event.

Zaidepour has looked anything but average, Cue Card the best so far. I think there are plenty of cards to be played yet, weather must have had an effect, Sprinter Sacre for one is potentially interesting.

But certainly lacking strength in depth so far.

if CC were irish,he would be similar price to that of Dunguib,they love to get stuck into a certainty!! Even though he never was at any stage.

Agree CC is way ahead of anything else on form.

Not at all convinced with Zaidpour though,looked good in race before last,but none of the horses he has faced look world beaters to me.
