Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2019

Big compliment paid to Champ. Definitely the number one of JP's for this now.
 
Think Brewin'upastorm was going to come home in front there, though it would have been close.

Disappointed with Jarveys Plate. Obviously giving weight but I feel he may well have been put in his place there
 
Champ better equipped for the longer trip ?

Hard to know if Birchdale tired or idling on run in.

Tired horses fall in my opinion so think he would have probably won.
 
Interesting that PP have cut Birchdale to 14/1 for this race, but to 7/1 for the Albert Bartlett.
 
Birchdale looked pretty tired after the line, I'm not sure a stamina test is what he wants at the moment.....think I'd be against him in the potato race
 
Yes I didn't think that run screamed Albert Bartlett either sprinter... which was why I thought that was a strange move by PP. They were 20/1 both races before the off.

Dickie Diver could have a sway on things. Hendo suggests he’ll go AB in his latest blog.

Definitely... going to be a nice problem for JP to have when he sits down with the team and decides where all these horses are going to run!
 
Thoughts on Birchdale? I've got a slip for the Ballymore but I'd want to see him get another run... looked very green today

Brewinupastorm looked to me to have him covered but we won't know what he'd find up the hill till the day. I can't take that form with Champ too literally Innoko a very false race

Imo very good chance. Ran very well. Only his 2nd start. He'll improve for the run. He's having another. Won't be suprised at all if he wins.
