Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2019

No splitting Tornado Flyer and Battleoverdoyen tomorrow but Commander Of Fleet is all blue on oddschecker.
 
Commander of Fleet ew at 11s was the value tomorrow. Probably still a bit of juice in the price. Was quickly written off LTO

Magnium at 50s ew is the value Imo. Cut up by ruby last time on easy game, on all known form, i Wouldn't be at all suprised to see him finish infront or around commander of fleet
 
CoF a non runner.

Wonder what if today's race could be a boil over.
 
Got the other 2 covered antepost. Win win.
 
Now we know why CoF was shortened!!!!!! pretty bad form but all too often this is happening.
 
I’d be of the view Henderson has best novices this year but record in this race is not great ?

From gault stats last year

N. Henderson One winner and one placed from 31 runners. Lots of short prices. 2012 Simonsig 2/1 fav, definitely stopped the rot. Nothing placed since. Last year Burbank 4th, Consul De Thaix fatally injured. 2016 OO Seven 8th. 2015 Vyta Du Roc 4th @15/2, He used to have a similarly appalling record in the Coral Cup before Spirit River 2010 and Whisper 2014.

Flip side is ,His last 8 horses in novice hurdles that have started fav reads,1,1,1,2,1,1,1,3 the last being the 3 (Santini) Makes for better reading than say all his horses under 5/1 but stats can be interpreted however we see fit .
 
Good performance from battleoverdoyen.
Hope tornado flyer is ok.
 
Happy with that apart from Tornado being wrong.
Don't fancy BOD so should help market for others in this
