Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2020

Unexcepted and Elixr are 8/1 and 16/1 TWAR. Probably the best way to go in view of unknown targets.

8/1 Is rubbish though. You've lost all your margin. If you e backed envoi allen at 10s then unexcepted any race @8s you've just halved your price of both.

Where as 25s is a fair price.

Absolutely can back both at 25/1 with cash out cushion! See no need to sit on the fence.

Not if he goes Supreme or Elixr goes Albert though. I say they are fair prices taking into account it covers 3 maybe 4 races. Each to their own. As I've said before I'll not be backing anything else in Ballymore until the day now. 10 Ew on Unexpected now gives you 40 profit for a place but you are not even guaranteed a run. 20 on him as a guaranteed runner at say a conservative 5/2 on the day without Envoi gives you 50 profit. Of course EA might not win but unlikely i'd say.
 
Elixir same sire as EA! Unexpected to frank the form!

Looking for Turnpike Trip to frank Envoi form in next at Ascot. Bit of money for it as well.

Half decent run. Finished 4th off big weight in that ground
 
"We were happy with Unexcepted at Fairyhouse and the plan is for him to run at Limerick on the 26th. He seems to be more sensible than his half-brother*– hopefully he can stay that way."

Off that BFSB are 25s and PP 7/1 for Unexcepted here

Oh, they're not. Oddschecker error.

25/1 both.
 
just tried to get on and they let me have a pittance at 25/1 and offered the rest at 16/1 so that cut will be coming soon id of thought
 
20/1 with B365. Wouldn't be an obvious route for a potential Cheltenham champion going to Limerick for a so so race

Plainly to avoid envoi allen. And let others test the waters at Naas.

When was the last time the 2 good ones fought it out at Naas. Even Next destination and samcro avoided each other. Yorkhill avoided it with bellshill pitched in.
It's the case every single year.
 
Unexcepted cut to 12s. Can cashout for quite the profit
 
Wouldn't expect Unexcepted to come here judging by the way he runs. Looks all over a 2 miler to me. Think he'll be Mullins number 1 in the Supreme and a big threat to Abra.

Are you still sure?

Don't think running in this race will settle anything yet. I do think where Envoi goes will have a big bearing on many horses final target though. Lots of water to run under that confusing bridge. Don't count your chickens yet....you know what happens when you do!

A big old cut from 25s straight to 12s. And declared for the 2m4.

Is it me or have PP cash outs improved sometime over the last month or so? Had a look at the weekend and they are paying higher than anticipated, not sure they are so far behind 365 now
