I know one couldn't tell much from his last outing but I have really liked this horse ever since seeing him race at Chepstow when he was three.
Now Nicky Henderson has a couple shorter in the Supreme Novice betting but does anyone know whether the stable are likely to run them all, come the day?
I wouldn't expect him to be much shorter on the day but would like to put Gibb River in a few of my "retirement" bets.
Any info or speculation welcome.

I couldnt have him at all but he seems pretty sure to run...there didnt seem much doubt in NJH's mind when interviewed after Wincanton.

Every year it seems NJH has a strong hand for the Novice Hurdles. This is no exception.
However his success is limited to Flown winning the Supreme way back in 1992. The Triumph has always been his race and even then sorting out his contenders has rarely been easy, this year included! Add to that the fact that the man is less than reliable when quoting likely targets and the whole thing can get very expensive. |
