I'm really happy with his run there. Honestly thought he might struggle today but a great run really.

Agree happy with that. The way Nolan was talking before the race was that he wasn't expecting to win today (was hoping for a good performance) and it all about getting ready for the AB

Nice performance from the winner,unfortunately I see Absolute Notions beating him over further & over 2m4f Inthepocket,Hermes Allen & Gaelic Warrior I think all would have him over.
Disclaimer - I've been wrong very very often with the novice hurdles in march,very often.
 
Good Land should be favourite :indecisiveness:
8/1 with Boylesports - come on!

He’s not in the Bartlett so no worries there. As for the Ballymore … you could be right, but for me, that’s the best form we have. Possibly alongside Champ Kiely’s Naas win. Was a lovely performance.

The roll call of winners since it was upped to 2m6f:

Tower Bridge
Commander Of Fleet
Latest Exhibition
Gaillard Du Mesnil
Minella Coconner

I know each horse should be priced on its merits but I think the bookmakers are realising it's a race for boats :devilish:
 
FYI - 365’s cash out formula is funked in our favour. I can cash out a 1pt bet on QDP @ 20/1 for 0.9pt return. He is now 33/1. I can reinvest that 0.9pt @ 33/1 and increase my returns from 21pt to 30.6pts :abnormal:

Haha, lazy thing to say .... we knew Good Land would be going Ballymore and so should they.

Hermes Allen wouldn't have won that race IMO.

Good Land wins all

14/1 to 8/1 - I think 8/1 perfectly good price after watching that

Just cashed myself and was surprised, not re backed though.

It's BOG though so that's assuming he shortens, or you'd be worse off.

FWIW I don't think Good Land is a boat, but I don't see him winning the Ballymore either.

Get that Hermes Allen form in the bin too :devilish::highly_amused:

Travelled like a class horse and won like a class horse with stamina.
More a luxury yacht than a boat to my eye.
 
Very nice from Good Land. A big improver. Ballymore is the right race for him. Barry could win both openers on Tuesday and Wednesday. Related double anyone???
