Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2019

I've added the same for Albert Bartlett... Martin Pipe only 14/1 but he shouldn't shorten for that tomorrow IMO

Same with gun digger as we discussed before . I think the any race angle is huge for the handicap horses. He's 14s for the martin pipe. But still 25s any race, plus you can boost. Deffinately worth adding your handicap horse Any race before you ask for a price in the individual handicaps. As they're just pricing them on the graded races.
 
The majority of my bets this year for a change are any race. You lose the NRNB or cash out cushion but as you say some great pieces out there still and anything with multiple options takes a lot of the angst away

Oi oi COF!!

Suddenly the any race 12/1 slip looks far nicer.

Send him AB and let him gruel them into submission
 
*digs out Commander of Fleet slip*

At the start of the season I was certain he was a Ballymore horse and backed him accordingly. He'd have little chance in this imo and should go for the potato race.

It'll be interesting to see what GE says after the race.
 
Took every yard of that for CoF to get on top, including missing the last hurdle. Unfortunately for my Ballymore slips I think he'd be better seen in the potato race, but thanks to Hills I've got a nice 75/1 on that so not too fussed
 
Gordon Elliott's Grade One-winning novice had been the ante-post favourite for the Nathaniel Lacy & Partners Solicitors 50,000 Cheltenham Bonus For Stable Staff Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown on Saturday, but was not declared on Friday morning.

Elliott won the race with Commander Of Fleet in any case and is likely to split the two in March, with Battleoverdoyen heading for the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle and Commander Of Fleet targeting the Albert Bartlett.

"He's had three runs in six weeks so we thought it was the right thing to do with him. We knew we had the other lad so we were OK," said Elliott.

"He'll go straight to Cheltenham now for the Ballymore."
 
Matt Brocklebank (sporting Life) has put up City Island for this in his latest ante post column. Owned by the sponsors & form boosted yesterday by Dallas des Pictons.
 
Can't see BATTLEOVERDOYEN in the BET365 market, any news?

Forget this... he's there...
 
Birchdale maiden hurdle form strikes again. So far the 1st (Birchdale himself), 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th & 16th from his maiden win have all come out and won! That's fair form IMO.

Clarendon street who was 2nd did just get beat at a short price though

But won next time out though, right?

Was giving weight to the winner today who came from that maiden too.

48.0 on the exchange?
 
Unibet have pushed him out for this race today too.

Paddy seemed pretty sure he would be going for the AB after his last run.
 
When you've got a banker already for the race , what do you do with the rest.
