Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2019

I think he'd run them in whichever race suited them best. Could feasibly run them both in the same race.

Angel's Breath may well end up here but I don't think it'd be because of Mister Fisher

He’s also got Rathill who is going for the Tolworth next. As they’re all different owners I would think they’ll go for the right race.
 
I was taken with I Can't Explain at Sandown on Tingle Creek day and think he'll be right up there in the pecking order.
Bar Mister Fisher who I think is a definite 2 miler the rest could probably switch between 2m-2m4 depending on ground so that could decide targets nearer the time.

ICE has 2 entries coming up - 1 over 2 miles at Newbury on the 29th and another in the Ballymore trial at Cheltenham on New Years Day. I'm hoping the latter and if that's the case i'll add him for this race at 25/1

I'm hoping the latter for birchdale and similarly I'm completely taken with him. I think he's very good.

Hendo has said angels breath. Rathhill and mister fisher are 2 milers .

He's similarly plenty for 2 1/2 of which I personally like birchdale

These we're the comments from Hendo, that'd give the Ballymore option a bit of weight too...

Henderson said: "We use the race quite a lot, I think, don't we? This is a nice place to start them off and when you have a nice horse, it is always good to start them off at a nice place.
"He handled the ground well, but it was quite hard work. But that is why you'd run him over two miles in that ground, as he would probably run over two-five on anything quicker than that.
"You wouldn't mind seeing him doing it again, as he has only had one point-to-point, so I would not like to jump into too deep a pond, too soon.
"He is only four and he has always been pretty professional. He is very straightforward. At the moment, there are no quirks or foibles hiding there. He seems to just get on with his job."
 
The line up for tomorrow’s Challow Hurdle at Newbury is very competitive. I’m a big fan of Brewin’upastorm for the Ballymore but this seems a slightly strange route as it’s always a tough race.

Brewin’upastorm
Champ
Coolanly
Getaway Trump
Kateson
Nestor Park
Alsa Mix

I'm trying to stay brave and trust that Mullins will have the SP fav in this race.

If Champ wins he goes a pretty short price, I'm almost tempted to have the 10/1 now.

My personal pick is also Brewin'upastorm and he's already backed at 22s any race.

I could leave it, Olly Murphy could not be any more positive and he already has some good ones.

I'm probably the only one. But I think this race isn't that good. And will be avoiding it.
I personally think the best ones over here. Ie birchdale / I can't explain have avoided it. And this is just be best of the also rans/ something for the bartlett. I like champ as I put up a long while ago as one to watch. But he just did what was expected last time, and beat a few handicappers well of his mark. Hendo has better at home.
 
Don't understand Champs position in this market. People are getting carried away with the name, and Hugh Taylor effect

Beat a load of yacks LTO. If he wins well here then fair enough but 10/1 doesn't tempt me now.
 
It's a good race in that we've got a lot of the horses are clashing.

Impossible to know how much the form is worth yet - I'm hoping the Irish are ahead but I don't know that.


I am really looking forward to I Can't Explain running again though, I do really like him.

Hendo said yest he does go to chelt new years day.
 
Champ has to be one of most annoying names ever put on a horse. It would be fitting if he was an overrated midweek wonder.
 
Wild love to see a good staying on performance from Kateson, not a win though as I’ve not backed him yet and am hoping to wait for NRNB before any more bets

Haha, love that.:highly_amused:

You not keen on the number of post bandings we picked then either :p

'Champion Jockey' more apt?
 
With the 'each way extra places' from 365, I'm tempted by Brewin'upastorm today at 9/2 (3 places) and Getaway Trump.

I've decided I'm not backing Champ for this race, if he wins, so be it, but he won't be going in my book regardless.
 
I only like Brewin’upastorm for the Ballymore from this field. The form will be very good whoever wins though.
 
Looking forward to Seven De Baune as a potential for this race running in a minute or so, have backed already @ 33's for this race already.
