Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2019

Birchdale could win this and go Albert Bartlett. Don't think they'll run in the same race.

Was waiting for this. If champ ran no one would be mentioning this

Santini is a far different horse

Birchdale works with buveur dair. He's plenty of pace. He goes alot better than champ at home. Hendo has said his trip is 2 1/2 . he was entered in the tolworth . All the money has been ballymore . Hendo just said him and santini are in the same boat. He has the opportunity to show himself better than champ.

From the start of the season they've said dickie diver is the bartlett horse . They also have rhinestone.

If you've not took the big prices on birchdale for the ballymore. I can't make him swap races to suit. If I'd backed champ at short prices of be worried. And try and put birchdale down too.

If you think the bartlett take the 25s with unibet

You're correct no one would've mentioned it.
Just wanted you to mention he works with Buveur d'air again :devilish:

Champ's nobody's pony :)
 
Quevega definitely has the Champ / Birchdale combination for both races - from the Kevloaf subscription service ;)

Why would a bartlett horse work with buveur dair? And be entered in the tolworth.

Makes no sense what so ever.

Champ looks nailed on for it. JP would obviously prefer to keep them apart.

If they're good enough they can do all three trips I reckon.

Ofcourse they're going ballymore with champ. I'm not disputing that. If birchdale wins the trial and beats the same horse

So jp would split them. But not dickie diver/ birchdale/ rhinestone

Again makes no sense.

Maybe they know the Bartlett will be slow run again and they want his speed to win it :p

Maybe they are giving Buveur D'air a confidence boost beating a slow boat because he's nnursing his wounds after being exposed an all weather flat horse at Kempton?

:highly_amused:

They may well both turn up. That'll settle it :D

Think Barry will have his say, he's driving after all.
He could tell them anything which could make them change plans for either horse,

Ok then I assume buveur dair will be up to the stayers. As they've espoir d'allen for the CH.

You're being silly now, but Buveur D'air would be a short price for the stayers.

Nicky's initial word isn't always gospel.

JP + Berry will make a lot of the final decisions.
 
Birchdale can run in either. He showed speed but he's a point winner and will be a staying chaser. He chose Rathhill for the Tolworth he was 'working lovely' look how that panned out.

Rhinestone could be one for a handicap. DD I doubt will run at Cheltenham he looks very raw.

Rathhill came back unsound.
Dickie diver I would think is a highly likely runner in the AB
