Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2019

Yeah been through the competition and thought it seemed a bit big, took 6's myself
 
In all honesty I don't know how good he is fully neither does Paul. But if you rate Danny kirwan you'll like the fella

I diddnt want to hype him up because If the price went before connections got on it would have been harsh. He's the best they have, we'll find out if that's good enough.
 
Lone Wolf winning franks the form of Downtown Getaway again who beat him by 17.5 lengths last season. The second (Remastered) has also come out and won a few weeks back fairly impressively so the form looks decent. If Downtown Getaway makes it to the track soon, he could be a real machine.

My thoughts exactly, I.e. DOWNTOWN GETAWAY, REMASTERED out again today. Nicky said he couldn't wait to get DG out over hurdles a month ago but still no entries. This one surely has to come out soon. Could be a big player.
 
25 minutes until we find out what £480,000 buys you.
 
I know what he does at home, but how goods Danny kirwan? I expected him to win himself last time. So that was a minor knock. we'll find out a bit here.

He actually has more racecourse experience than the majority of these and against a higher level (in France) of opponent too, so hoping he goes well.
 
Cashed out near the end there on my ballymore bet. Unfortunately not good enough. No excuses.
 
Nicholls and his Novice hurdlers...

There's no hope for the other lad too going by that. It's a shame. Its hard going from juveniles to novice company and they paid alot for him. Could pop up in the coral cup you never know.
Paul will be gutted with that.

Based on your gallop feedback I'd say Danny Kirwan could get placed into a handicap. Unfortunately My Way will end up in no mans land as his French form might scupper any chance of a lenient mark.
