Knock a Hand - Albert Bartlett Novice Hurdle

you must be a stable fan with a name like that Loved the way he won last time...dont think he knows how to run a bad race - I read this is the aim but only if 'soft' in the going but NRNB covers all of that

I have already mentioned the horse in relation to his price relative to Rocky Creek. Given the mistake that was a very good performance last time. Has a far more solid profile than many at shorter prices and although far from certain to run NRNB covers that.

Swardean has there been rain?
i am on at 33/1, agree its a massive price considering Rocky Creek is much shorter. Not much between them on a line of form through Gullinbursti. I was on before NRNB so am concerned that he wont show unless good-soft at a min. All his pt to pt runs were on good ground so wouldnt see it as being that big an issue but the trainer knows best im sure.

Official rating of 141 now puts him right up there now with the best 3m novices.  Lots of rain at Cheltenham yesterday but impossible to know how much effect it will have on the ground.

Think the win over gullinbursti would have been more impressive had he not demolished the last 2 hurdles.
