Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2019

Early days, but he probably has I Can't Explain for this race as well.

Interestingly Trainer and owner had William Henry for this 2 years back and he stepped him up in trip.

Totally different horse being a bumper horse etc but there we are!

Yeah, Downtown Getaway, Gallahers Cross, Mister Fisher, I Can't Explain & Angels Breath, you'll do well splitting them up before they have all run IMO.

Will wait and see with the Henderson lot, happy to lose some of the price in doing so.
 
Yeah could easily go Supreme Im mainly on any race, he runs Saturday 6 against him, not sure of the names of the opposition yet.
 
Obviously NH had Simonsig win this race, but not a lot else in the last twenty years I would suggest?

Kalum River was beaten 17L by Tornado Flyer today.
Before today Kalum River had been 2nd to Commander of Fleet 6L - and 2nd to Royal Rendezvous 4L

Press Conference was beaten 28L by Tornado Flyer today
Before today Press Conference had been beaten 13L by Lone Wolf, was 10L behind Brewin'upastorm in a P2P and 5L 2nd behind Carefully Selected in a bumper

Cueno was beaten 13L by Tornado Flyer today
That horse won the race than Relegate was beaten in at 4/9 for Willie last time out.

Dream Conti was beaten 9L by Tornado Flyer today
Was his first run over hurdles and had been a very well beaten fav behind Raya Time in his final bumper start

Take Revenge was beaten 3L by Tornado Flyer today
He's previously been beaten 26L by Dorrells Pierji. A good run from him today.


That was a deeper race than I realised.

I think you may have found the winner of the Martin Pipe or Coral Cup and That horse is Dorrells Pieji rated 138 so if the english handicapper raises him a couple of pound he should qualify for both, but than likely the Martin Pipe.
 
With Angels Breath being sired by Shantou you'd think his trip going forward would be upwards of 2m.

Ballnagour, Death Duty, The Storyteller, Shantou Flyer & Brial Hill are his top rated progeny.

Hardly a list of crack 2milers there.

Has to beat Elixir De Nutz tomorrow, getting 10lb from that one, to have any chance of being considered by myself IMO. EDN is, as far as I am aware, not even Terry Warner's main hope this season, but is pencilled in as favourite tomorrow, ahead of AB.
 
I think the yard are expecting a big run from Angels Breath, hopefully it all goes smoothly
 
Jarveys Plate was put up by FOB as his horse to follow- obviously not got the class of horse NH has but interesting.

I've followed you in on the Ballymore route billymag so touch wood.

Nicky's comments from his most recent stable tour are encouraging.

"Impressive in his only point, he has the attributes of a high-class novice hurdler and is likely to start in that sphere, but there’s no rush and he has an enormous future."

Good points. Also the point from jack about William Henry.


River wylde was the other ptp horse I was trying to think of
 
Even the fact Nicky is giving him his first run over hurdles at a stiff track like Cheltenham probably points to seeing his optimum trip over further in future.
 
Took and added birchdale 33s ballymore
Travelled beautifully. Happy with that.

I think this is the way to play it with Henderson's Novices, all of the above add in Birchdale, Champ and more, Best to evaluate the pecking order and correct race first.

Ah yeah, god knows how I forgot about the current favourite for this race haha, but plenty of them for him, they won't all run, and I am happy to bide my time with his lot.
 
another nudge for Champ to go for the stayers :devilish:

I'm happy to stick with the supreme for angels breath.
And birchdale for the ballymore.

Hopefully the former does the business on Sat.
