Novelette can land a hat-trick
The Journal
|August 29, 2025
NOVELETTE is expected to complete her hat-trick for Simon and Ed Crisford in the curtain-raising Woburn Partners Nursery Handicap at Sandown today.
-
Placed on her first two starts, the daughter of Sioux Nation made it third time lucky at Yarmouth in early July, with the application of a hood going some way to harnessing her obvious enthusiasm.
She made her handicap debut over this course and distance a month ago and an opening mark of 78 proved lenient as she quickened up smartly to score by a length and a half from Lil Brother, who gave that form a boost with a recent win at Windsor.
Novelette is officially rated 86 now, but is able to compete in Esther off 84 and can take full advantage under Silvestre de Sousa.
