    Is his hurdling so good it’s scary though? Henderson seems to live in a perpetual state of terror due to how good his darlings’ jumping is. Probably needs PTSD counselling after every schooling session.

    Jonbon pencilled in to make his seasonal debut on 26 November at Newbury.

    Hard not to be impressed

    Hes a terrible price but that was a very good start for him

    Hes gonna be like champ the year he ran in the ballymore for me, just never a particularly appealing price

    Sir Gerrard is more likely to go for the ballymore , Jonbon was visually impressive yesterday but he didn’t have anything to beat , will he get a competitive run before Cheltenham …. The chances are a battle hardened Irish horse may do him stops me from playing at such a short price

    Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026

    I know he said otherwise in the stable tour but I still like gerhard for this and kilcrut for the ballymore on what we saw last year

    HDLG don’t buy that he had nothing to beat yesterday the second fave had some good bumper form and was brushed aside. Plenty of novice/maiden hurdles in Ireland the hotpots start off against trees.

    Its first time out what do you expect? He beat more than total trees that much i do know. Its not normal for a potential hotpot to start off in really steep company as a novice hurdler. Its a gradual process up to March. Appreciate It was 12-1 on when he started last season, the opposition were total trees. What did we learn in that race? Not a lot.

    I can’t back Kilcruit for this – related to Numbersixvalverde, Ballybough Rasher ( Charlie Hall winner ) and Cootamundra ( Troytown winner )

    I know stayers can run well in this but it’s still a speed test

    Appreciate it is a bad example mike as we already knew he had a very high level of ability from his bumper form

    And all that was needed to see on his hurdles was can he jump, we already knew he had the ability

    That jonbon was half the price before his hurdles debut than what appreciate it was sums up how bad a price he was and is

    I was talking more about the opposition on hurdle debut i.e. a gentle start.
