Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2019

Henderson did not mention Champ for this race, said the Challow Hurdle and then they can go novice chasing next season.
 
Was so keen to cash out while watching on my phone I missed the end of the race.
 
My thoughts exactly, I.e. DOWNTOWN GETAWAY, REMASTERED out again today. Nicky said he couldn't wait to get DG out over hurdles a month ago but still no entries. This one surely has to come out soon. Could be a big player.

DTG entered up on Friday. The owners obviously have tornado flyer running for them tomorrow. Downtown getaway would have a good bit more to prove than him, but interesting all the same.
 
Yes, seen this. Very much looking forward to seeing him back, after a very impresssive debut. Not sure why he's been off the track for so long though, slight concern.
 
Really excited to see Tornado Flyer tomorrow
 
Looking forward to tornado flyer today, the novices hurdlers are crying out for a potential star, hopefully it’ll be him!
 
If Annimix isn't the second coming , anyone worried Tornado might go to the supreme ? RP quotes reporting very speedy and Ruby thinks 2miles could be his trip this year ,this race today is the one Getabird won last year ?

Ofcourse he could go supreme even alongside annamix. Iv smashed him this morning for the ballymore at 25s ew with cashback. But iv a win only bet for the supreme that I won't be cashing anytime soon. More likely ballymore though. Ruby thinks 2 1/2 is his trip. Mullins said it could be 2 miles in the rp tour. But on his race preview today he indicates this is his trip.

Tornado Flyer is very interesting for this, i would guess this might be his probable destination- but i might put a little on him for the Supreme as well...taking a chance he won't be a 3miler.

One that caught my eye and probably most peoples yesterday was I Can't Explain for Nicky. cut to 25s for the Supreme, interesting to read Hendo thinks he needs further on better ground...Most books have left him untouched for this and at 33s i'll have a go i reckon.

I was 'worried' enough to back him for the same stake in both.

I think he'll be Ballymore but not put too much thought into it just yet as I'll see how he shapes today.

I expect him to win today and shorten for both, so will see how to play it later.

If beaten today I expect I'd cash out for a small loss (depending on the circumstances etc)
 
I’ve toped up 1U e/w with a tornado Flyer at 25s, to go along with my 14s any race

Money has really come for him today, i got him at evens last night and expecting a big run

Edit: I see there’s a NR now which helps the price fall but still expecting a facile victory
 
Jumps a little to the left.

This trip looked more likely than a drop back... I'd say.
 
Lovely performance was a deep maiden too.
 
I’d expect the AB to be more of a risk than the Supreme but in a grade 1 they will go a good bit faster early on than that which should suit him, not sure he wants a full 3m yet

Wouldn't agree with that. Very unlikely Albert bartlett, He's plenty of toe. He just relaxed beautifully.
 
Don't think he jumps quick enough for the supreme. Ruby looked confident the whole way round but I wasn't blown away.
 
Tornado Flyer was very good today.
Pretty sure that Willie's got better though.
Not one for me at this stage.
