Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2019

I need to do some mind reading inside JP's head before the entries are out next week. Don't want to get burnt on non-runners again
 
Don't think you'll get your answer next week Bobby... be surprised if they don't enter their principals in multiple races to give themselves the option as long as possible.
 
The AB would ruin a horse that green I think. I thought he was going to win today and will have a live ew chance on the day
 
When did he say that scooby? Didnt hear it in his interview on Racing TV?

I'll try find it now. I'm sure was on sporting life but can't find it again. But will. I know they was happy.

ok... Cheers

Considering plans for his strong team of novice hurdlers, Henderson said: "They'll all be in all the novice hurdles, which close next week. We've just got to sort out where they go. I'm not sure this horse wants three miles yet.

"His Warwick form does look good, but Barry said the main thing about today was he was very green"

Thanks. I have the same position in both races and think I will just leave it be for a while. Didnt look like he wanted 3 miles yet to me either today.
 
One things for sure, he looks like he will make some chaser. Lovely big horse. Dwarfed the others today.
 
Thats the one I saw. He doesn't say the horse doesnt want 3 miles yet specifically though? Your other quote must have been taken from later scooby?

The quote I put up is on the kildisart article titled "Kildisart maintains winning thread"
On sporting life.

Not sure why it's there, but it is.

Ok thanks. Been greedy backing him for both at 20/1 rather than any race and need to watch this one closely to cash out in time.
 
Hopefully Brewinupastorm is a ok. He had Birchdale covered in my opinion and would love to see them both have another go in March. It looks like a great race if they all turn up.
 
Now I'm feeling more levelled headed.

Thoughts about today? Champ enhanced his credentials without running?

Fair to say all 3 of them did?

With Battleoverdoyen we won't have any clue which side of the Irish sea is stronger - but you can definitely make a case for all 4 of them?

I havne't backed Champ other than related double with Birchdale,m so as he's the shortest, and I've missed a price, I find myself wanting to 'get him beat'... but impossible to knock him based on today... whether it enhances his claims or not is harder. Brewin looks to have been a better horse today, than when they met?
