2023 Ballymore Novices Hurdle

[Roaring Bull ROARING BULL]

The Supreme has just reinforced my view of not backing novice British horses.

Yeah. I think you're right. Good Land looks really gutsy so I think that's where my money is going. If IEP is just too good, so be it.

 

[ComplyOrDie]

Yessssssssssssssss!!!!

The HYPE is real!

 

[Benjy23]

Delighted with that result!

Gaelic behaved slightly better than I expected though, to give him some credit.

Yep, all very true.
Very good horse

A shame the warrior got beat. He’s been beaten by a very very good horse. At least the max bet I mentioned a while back on the match bet of Gaelic 11/8 to beat Hermes won easy. Makes the race look far nicer.

Gaelic Warrior year 3 with the BANC next year? Jumping wasn't too bad yesterday re going right. They think he will be a better staying chaser.

Did Hermes Allen really go off fav for this?



The form does keep working out! 3 mile chaser next year Nicholls said.

I honestly think IEP wins this and wins it well with a turn of foot, i’m going to say he is my NAP of the week bar the obvious C.Hill.

He would go well in the Supreme and you need gears usually to win this, i can’t see past him.

:tears_of_joy:Still celebrating this win, really delighted he backed it up

Yep.
Definitely a pattern with his Challow horses, all should be avoided at Cheltenham until they go chasing.
Every time they look good at Newbury and then come up against better Irish hurdlers at Cheltenham.
I was surprised HA did not drift on the morning as was trying to get him onside with a decent bet.
I did back him as a saver in the end, but I should have taken note of the Nicholls Challow Ballymore history really.
I really got the impression they were quite confident though.
Should have taken more notice of the noises on here!!

Be very interesting when he goes chasing , could well follow BMG and Stage Star who are both good jumpers.
And let’s face it, the man is a trainer of chasers, always has been.

….he also said anything Stay Away Fay did over hurdles would be a plus because he’s a proper staying chaser for next season.
