Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2019

I think you have to (if you have the ability) back Carefully Selected with 3654 in this race at 25/1.


I'm riding up front with Sean in the Albert Bartlett bandwagon, but if you don't learn then you don't grow, and Next Destination last year is the reason I'll be backing for both races and cashing out closer to the time this season.

I’d agree in the main Kev but personally I’ve already got 3 darts at the Ballymore and it would go against my better judgement to have any more, that coupled with what I alluded to above about not fancying him to win the race.

When I said ability, I should probably have added 'or punting style' :)

4 in a race is more than most would want I appreciate.

My over arching point would be, if Carefully Selected was running, Blackbow AND Tornado Flyer wouldn't be, so I'd be cashing something out regardless.

Yeah true it’s totally a personal approach dependent! Ruby will know the horse inside out given he came from Ted. I know the type he prefers for the Ballymore on paper & Carefully Selected isn’t that horse!

Is there room up front for one more??

Like many have already said, after last years debacle with ND i have backed for both but really hope it runs in the AB, i have some nice doubles with Carefully Selected involved
 
When MOMUS wins the first, what price is BATTLEOVERDOYEN for this?
 
Skybet offering a price boost of 8/11 from 4/5 for I can’t explain in the upcoming race. How generous!
 
can someone request a price for Dunvegan with Skybet for the ballymore please
 
That was rubbish from I Can't Explain.

I can't explain it.

Cashout for me would be 1 pt loss - I'll wait for NRNB just to see if it's any better. Doubt i'll get my money back. Disappointing. I thought he looked really good on debut!
 
I Can't Explain wasn't one I was interested in but even so that was somewhat disappointing for you guys that were on.

Dunvegan has to be of interest. 25's available with PP & 365, though I'd probably want a NRNB price about him so will wait.
 
Dunvegan is 25s any race WH,
but I'll wait for a price on nrnb
