Bruno got really annoyed last weekend after Firefox got beaten in the Lawlor's of Naas that this season's novice hurdler maybe just weren't that good.  It got us thinking.  How good a bunch (or not) are they and how can we tell?  We take a dive into how you can compare groups of horses across seasons and discuss why it matters to punters to know as much as possible about what we're dealing with!

And this week we complete the Cheltenham Festival novice hurdles Antepost Angles (completed it mate) with the Triumph and the Mares Novices Hurdle.  We both like the same one at the top of the market in the Triumph, albeit that race looks like it could be one of the races of the week in March.

Looks like a quiet weekend of racing ahead.  Why not spend your time listening to this.

Cheers,
