Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2020

Can see him running Envoi & Fury Road on Sunday tbh, but maybe thats more in hope than anything else.

As long as it's not the Supreme. Not a great pre festival race record the Royal Bond has, from memory.

Couldn't care less about stats. Always being smashed to one side.
 
If EA was to be heading for the Ballymore you would expect him to be running in the Monksfield.
Abacadabras likely to skip it as he looks a supreme horse?
Fury Road 50/50 to go there since he looked more of a stayer than anything?
 
The Big Breakaway, one of the most expensive PtP recruits that will jump a Hurdle this season, makes his debut tomorrow at Chepstow. Interesting they’ve scrapped off a bumper campaign in favour of hurdling as he is only a 4yo.
 
Elliott has pretty much said he won't run this weekend (Envoi Allen)
but he is entered so ???

Jodie Standings book has him down as one of her star potential (Israel Champ was another on Sunday :very_drunk:) but she thought he might not be rushed as really imposing & could take time to mature - so not sure I’d be lumping on at odds-on even though he might just be too good for these - at 360,000 Euro they’ll be hoping so!
 
No chance I’d back him on debut either. Not sure he’d even be one for this season at all as I’m sure they’re rushing him over hurdles so that he gets chasing as soon as possible.

Israel Champ looked a lovely big horse.
In the right hands, it could be a really nice horse going forward.
Obviously I'm implying he's not. Probably a bit unfair.

He’ll make up into a lovely handicapper with his current handler

Private purchase but allegedly half a million! Not sure if they’ll stick to bumpers this year - I can’t remember but think they won the same race with a Moon Racer?

Looks a different type of horse to Moon racer.
Let's hope they keep their feet on the ground like they did with that one.:devilish:
 
Pipe and Jonjo have received two of the most expensive PtP recruits this season. Madness.

Jonjo managed to get a £440K horse to finish 7/12 in a Worcester bumper. Looks like he’s heading over hurdles now though.

Elliott said of Envoi Allen, who made a winning debut over hurdles this month: "He'll be entered for the Monksfield Novice Hurdle at Navan on Sunday along with Fury Road and Abacadabras, and we'll decide on plans later in the week. But Envoi Allen could wait for the Royal Bond at Fairyhouse the following Sunday."

what he said, above

Yep. The idea that the decisions made now over distance will reflect where he goes in March is historically not accurate, as you point out with Samcro
