Bill Joyce maintained his unbeaten record over obstacles with a likeable display in the Betfair Winter Novices’ Hurdle at Sandown.
A winner of two bumpers before finishing unplaced when well fancied in the championship event at the Cheltenham Festival, he looks a very smart prospect for Jonjo and AJ O’Neill.
He looked decent when winning on his hurdling debut at Carlisle, but was odds-on to do so that day and this represented a totally different test in Grade Two company.
Up against Paul Nicholls’ Quebecois, who finished almost upsides Bill Joyce at Cheltenham, it was that one and Harry Cobden who attempted to make all.
However, he was not going fast enough for Bill Joyce, as Jonjo O’Neill jnr allowed his mount to stride on, having been keen in the early stages.
He led the field into the straight and by then only Quebecois and Pony Soprano were in hailing distance and when Bill Joyce got in tight to the second-last, losing some momentum, the others were given a chance.
It was to his credit, though, that despite the testing ground Bill Joyce picked up in a matter of strides, jumped the last well and won by five lengths at 4-1.
Betfair introduced the winner at 20-1 for the Turners Novices’ Hurdle and cut him to 33-1 from 66s for the Albert Bartlett.
