Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2019

Hadn't realised Beakstown set a course record in winning the Ballymore Leamington Novices' Hurdle @ Warwick on Saturday.

Does he interest anyone?

On limited racing he has done he seems to take a liking for better ground.

FFP indicated he might skip Cheltenham and is very very much a future chaser.

I've not seen actual quotes though

Skelton said he's unlikely to go to Cheltenham straight after the race but I suppose plans can change
 
Owner wants Cheltenham runners.

He does, but he paid £400k for the horse and it could ruin him if this is a season too early. He's a chaser and should be kept back for next season imo
 
Reckon he'll run here. Definitely wont be in the AB.

110% won't be the AB if Harry Drew's comments on Twitter are anything to go by, said "Yeh I agree with Albert Bartlett, I don’t think my old man would ever have a horse in that race again."

Be careful , as I wrote in the handicap thread they're considering the martin pipe also, of 142

Yeah, not one I have backed yet and if I do it will be NRNB for whichever race that is.

Anyone hear what was wrong with Birchdale at the weekend, I read Vets cert but not heard more details. Cheers
