River Don Novices’ Hurdle 2026

[Quelle Farce]

Grade 2 over 3m, surprised not to see a thread here on it.

The Last Cloud, close in the Sharp and then outpaced in the 2m Formby, is up in trip and looks very interesting at 18s. And Paul Nolan sends over Thedeviluno, up another half a mile in trip after coming second to Doctor Steinburg at Navan in a Grade 2, having beaten Skylight Hustle in a maiden at Gowran in November.

Rocking Man could be anything for Sam Thomas, and it’s clear they have had issues with him judging by the infrequency of his previous runs.

As an aside I wonder if anyone has any news on last year’s winner Yellow Car? From the MacPherson/Killahena yard, Yellow Car went on to finish a commendable fourth in the Albert Bartlett at 33s but has not been seen since.

I backed Get On George last time out at the course and I’m hoping he can stay the extra five furlongs.
Get On George 14/1 EW.

I remember doing Yellow Car in this last season.

The more I know the less I understand.

Added Carlenrig 14/1 EW. Too big of a price, imo.

[Ex RubyLight]

Well done, green. Irish form can never be discounted.

[greenasgrass]

Thanks, I liked that form with Skylight Hustle.

[Refuse To Bend]

Nice one Green.

The more I know the less I understand.
