Irish NH Horses To Follow 2020/21

Start off with two Willie Mullins French recruits

1. Galopin Des Champs

2. Gars En Noir

Both should make exciting novice hurdlers

Trainer comments

Galopin..."Won over hurdles at Auteuil in May for ArnaudChaille-Chaille. We've entered him in the Royal Bond [Grade One],but whether he'll be ready for that I'm not sure.We'll be aiming high with him anyway"

Gars..."This is a very nice new arrival. We gave him a tentative entry in the Royal Bond.but that was just in case he instantly started burning up our gallop. We'll give him a bit of time and it will probably be later in the season when you see him"

Gars En Noir is declared to run on Saturday [Naas]...in a Grade 2

Galopin Des Champs runs today in a novice hurdle at Gowran Park [12.47]

Current odds of even money

Only 2nd and had every chance when leading going to the last, but looked like a horse who needs further

Opening 9-4 has gone, now 13-8

Only 3rd despite being punted into 11-10

Did not jump that well suggesting might have needed the run

Galopin Des Champs stays at 2 miles tomorrow [Limerick.1.40] but goes up in class to a G2

Small Win bet...currently trading at 5-2

Well backed but pulled up after never getting into a comfortable stride

Will be a big outsider in the Grade 1 on Sunday [2.10]

Taken the 40-1 each way with Bet Victor

Though unplaced and had a hard race, ran Ok for a 100-1 shot!

Galopin Des Champs has four entries at the Festival including two handicaps

Have got involved NRNB at 25-1 [Martin Pipe] & 20-1 [County]...both 5 places on the Friday

Been declared for the Martin Pipe tomorrow..only 7-1 now

BOOM

Nice one TD
