Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2019

With the 'each way extra places' from 365, I'm tempted by Brewin'upastorm today at 9/2 (3 places) and Getaway Trump.

I've decided I'm not backing Champ for this race, if he wins, so be it, but he won't be going in my book regardless.

Skybet doing 3 places on this race instead of two with slighter better prices, if you don't fancy the fav you can back two e/w and be disappointed if you don't at least get your money back lol
 
Champ wins this, unless he goes for the stayers.
 
Hopefully Champ takes a big chunk of the market. Can't have it in the top 3.
 
Which was the last Challow Hurdle winner to win the Neptune/Ballymore?

Denman would be my guess. That form wont amount to much at the end of the season. Another farcical slowly run race.
 
Do you not just think he looks very good.
Of all the horses in the race that should have been inconvenienced with a slow pace it was Champ.
And he still ran away from them.
 
Brewin'upastorm stayed on well once he got going, suggesting he would be better for a stronger pace to aim at.

I agree with that but I think Champ would also prefer a stronger pace too. I can’t see Brewin’upastorm reversing that form even though he is inexperienced in comparison.
 
Battleoverdoyen form being franked the last couple of days - both Active Force and Ash Hill have won their bumpers.
 
Can see Champ going off short for this, on name alone!
 
Hello chaps, hope you are all well.

Just dropping in to note how impressed I was with Champ today- he looks as talented as any novice in the UK that’s been out so far. Personally think he’d settle much better off a true pace and I’d actually have an eye on the Supreme if I owned him!

Won today on sheer class I felt- always wanted to go faster and travelled so strongly. Would like to see him have a 2m run in prep for the festival.

If you want one who will improve for a stronger pace, then Getaway Trump is surely the one to take out of the race. Travelled like a dream!

Haha, love that.:highly_amused:

You not keen on the number of post bandings we picked then either :p

'Champion Jockey' more apt?

Probably better than I hoped but totally sick of the on going AP worship. Consistently outridden when it really matter by Ruby and Barry. Hopefully Dickie sticks around long enough to surpass his total.
 
Great performance Champ , in a slow run race travelled so sweetly , reckon he would have won by alot further had it been ran at a faster pace. He was going away from them at the line , reckon he has surprised Hendo (and me, and not afraid to say so) this season and change of plan id say been hatched. What beats him in ballymore wins , confident much better to come from Champ.
