Persian War Novices’ Hurdle Tips: “Lump On” <\/em>Queensbury Boy, Says Owner David Maxwell<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Recently retired amateur jockey David Maxwell<\/a> still owns a stack of good horses – but maybe not for long.<\/p>\n

Having announced he won’t be riding again, the controversial millionaire owner has also said he’s going to sell all his horses in a dispersal sale at Tattersalls Cheltenham on October 24th.<\/p>\n

One of those horses up for grabs is Persian War Novices’ Hurdle hot-pot – QUEENSBURY BOY.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The horse was a \u00a3130k buy for Maxwell back in 2023 but having won twice back in March he’s expected to fetch a lot more at the sales later this month.<\/p>\n

However, his price will depend on how he goes in Friday’s Chepstow race and has been a big Persian Novices’ Hurdle tip for many after what his famous owner has said.<\/p>\n

Maxwell, who rode 75 winners, came out a few weeks ago t0 tell the racing world to ‘lump on’<\/em> his 6 year-old in the Grade Two Hurdle.<\/p>\n

Adding that his trainer Harry Derham also thinks the world of the horse, who was last seen running a well-beaten fifth behind the classy Final Demand at Punchestown.<\/p>\n

The trainer added the horse has been ‘laid out’<\/em> for the Persian War.<\/p>\n

But, as a result, Queensbury Boy has now been well-found in the market with the best horse racing betting sites – and will be sent off as favourite.<\/p>\n

Persian War Novices’ Hurdle Tips:<\/strong> Twiston-Davies To ‘Krak’ Persian War<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s hard to ignore the confidence of both Harry Derham and David Maxwell for Queensbury Boy – especially as the yard also boast a 36% SR with their hurdles at Chepstow.<\/p>\n

However, due to all the ‘beaking off’<\/em> – the horse is little value now in the market.<\/p>\n

Yes, he could easily win this as he likes – but at around 6\/4, you won’t be getting much back.<\/p>\n

Therefore, with there being eight runners and the jolly taking up the bulk of the market – there could be some value further down.<\/p>\n

Sticktotheplan is certainly a player – he’s the top-rated in the field after all. But does have to give weight away as a result.<\/p>\n

The first-time hood is interesting though and could eke out more and this Olly Murphy runner is also fit from a decent summer jumping campaign that saw him win at the Galway Festival at the end of July.<\/p>\n

He’s since been switched from the Farrell yard in Ireland to Olly Murphy and champion jockey Sean Bowen rides – there’s a lot to like.<\/p>\n

Jack Hyde is respected to for last year’s winning yard of Fergal O’Brien too. As is the Skelton runner Moneygarrow, but the market drift would be the worry here.<\/p>\n

Krak Is Rated Only A Pound Lower Than The Favourite\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

However, another stable that have won this before is Nigel Twiston-Davies and they also have an Irish recruit – KRAK –<\/strong> running for them for the first time.<\/p>\n

NTD took this in 2014 with Blaklion and before that in 2003, 2004 and 2005, so knows what is needed.<\/p>\n

This 5 year-old is rated 130, which is only a pound lower than the hot favourite Queensbury Boy – but does have to give him 3lbs.<\/p>\n

Meaning he’s got just 4lbs to find with the jolly – but is over four times the price.<\/p>\n

He also comes here in winning form – having landed a Handicap Hurdle in Cork back in April and with only four career runs looks the sort that could have more improvement to come.<\/p>\n

Of the rest, winning machine mare Laravie gets plenty of weight from the rest and comes from the in-form James Owen yard.<\/p>\n

Plus will be ridden by Gavin Sheehan, who come here having ridden six winners from his last 13 (43%).<\/p>\n
