Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2019

Nichols canyon. Yorkhill ....

We'll see.

Yorkhill ran over 2m 4f. NC over 2m 2f (2f probably negligible in respect of the race), also only managed 3rd though.

Yorkhill & Faugheen both went out over further prior to winning the Ballymore (Neptune).

Just be a surprise for him to be running Klassical over two 2m races then stick him in a 2m 5f race at the festival, doesn't make sense to me. I rate Klassical Dream, and IF he does turn up for the Ballymore on the day I will have to get involved, but will be in no rush as Champ & Battleoverdoyen will continue to make the market either way IMO.
 
Aramon thought to be best with a single late run off a fast pace. Klassical Dream a little more of a grinder.
 
Fast run 2m ideal for KD too. Still think he'll run Supreme.
 
The way KD battled back lends itself to him being effective over further.

NRNB makes sense ... he'd be single figures. Not loads of juice as a shortener in a strong looking market but I see the sense
 
Excited to see Diese Aba out again tomorrow after he missed entries due to EI.
 
Is I Can't Explain too big at 40/1 NRNB for the Ballymore before he runs tomorrow? 6/4 joint fav with Deise Aba (who is 28/1 NRNB Ballymore)

Won't run if he doesn't bounce back - seems risk free
 
Tried to do a double Al Dancer to win today and Angels Breath for the Ballymore and got knocked back by all firms i tried with on "related contingency", I suppose it is but thought it would sneak through.

What a load of shit that is. Shouldn't be related at all.

I backed this with ladbrokes this morning, I didn't take the NRNB as it was only for small stakes.......try it with them? I think it was around 80/1 for the double.

I've added this one too.

Yep, I could do this with Ladbrokes too, with bet boost it’s about 86/1.
 
I put this bet on with 365 before they rearranged the Betfair and they’ve marked it down as a loser

I just tried with 365 and they let me do it. 40/1

I have the same bet with them. It’s sitting in my open bets and Al Dancer has a little red cross next to it which I assume means void. So it’ll just be a single.

Also done this bet. Very little downside with the NRNB insurance.

With a variety of multiples, I have far more on Al Dancer today than I had originally planned
