2023 Ballymore Novices Hurdle

Impaire Et Passe visually has impressed me more than any other novice hurdler this season, he travels, jumps & quickens up so effortlessly.

I agree on paper his form is mediocre but I think he’ll tick that box next week. You’re taking a leap of faith backing him against more proven animals but he’ll be proving his A game when it matters!

Yes. Was thinking that this morning. But think it’ll end up being 8 or more.

IEP
Hermes
Good Land
Gaelic
Champ Kiely
Persian Time
Ho My Lord

Then maybe:

American Mike
Other rags

5 good animals at the top of the market though so I’m struggling to find an advantage even if it was 7 or less.

Am sure some folks got some nice price drifts on Gaelic with the supreme sway last few days, what price did he go out to in the end?

Touched 20s. But mainly about 12s. So not huge. But a lovely boost nonetheless. I wasn’t up for second guessing though!
 
….Good Land, Hermes, Marble Sands & Master Chewy the early decs.
 
American Mike in for Gordon

I'm the other way. Wasn't that impressed. Thought he did just enough to beat an average bunch. Think he 'd want further too. But my eyes are often wrong.
 
They still trying to find someone willing to ride Gaelic Warrior?

Townend on IEP and Danny Mullins on CK as expected.
 
….’Win Today & Ballymore’ roll-overs;

Hermes @ 40-1
Tahmurrus @ 33-1
IEP @ 20-1
Champ K @ 50-1
GW @ 10-1
 
Fascinating market this one! IEP back out to 2/1 after being 13/8 last night. Hermes back into 3s in places after briefly touching 5s. Superb race in prospect.
 
The Supreme has just reinforced my view of not backing novice British horses.
