Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2020

Wtf you doing dan?! Don’t ruin Protektorats mark for the coral cup!

I posted the below on the Coral Cup thread. I think he’ll be fine.

“Protektorat runs in the Grade 2 Novices’ Hurdle (3:00). He won a Listed race last time. There are some good horses in this race and it represents a significant step up for him.

It will tell us where our future lies as a novice hurdler this year. If he were to win this we would go for the Ballymore and if he doesn’t, we are looking at the Coral Cup.”

I’m glad a couple of decent horses stood their ground after The Big Breakaway was pulled from tomorrow’s trial. There is still a good chance Protektorat will get beaten and head down this route. I’d imagine his current mark of 139 would not change in defeat and that’s perfect.
 
That should help Fiddler and master go supreme.

Pretty bad ride on Roland though.
Up the straight he seemed unaware of the left hand side and although he came off the bridle a couple of times, he chilled out again once he rode him to get back on it.
Once you go, you fucking go.

And I backed the winner before anyone mentions.

Seems like Puppy is trying to split them all up
 
Boost for Sporting John?

They've got some choices to make for sure.

Master only has one race but the other three (Harry, Fiddler and The Big Breakaway) have options.

Does anyone have the latest on Asterion Forlonge? Seems to have taken a walk on the exchanges albeit for small money. I’m keen on him at big prices and would like to top up knowing he is well. Noticed Lord Royal had shortened for the Albert Bartlett so assuming he, Monkfish and even The Big Getaway go there you’d assume Asterion would run here

Also noticed he was pushed from 6/1 to 7/1 by PP for the 2m6 novice G1 at the Dublin festival

Willie has said this is likely aim, I took 50s before his last run so happy if that is the case.

That 50's has now gone.

25/1 with both.
 
That price is about right, I saw Corals were 33s, not sure if that's the same now.

Is thebannerkingrebel’s form now the best through this related form line, when taking weight into consideration?! He looks a massive price to me.
 
KD - I'm not going to waste my time on the challengers in the Ballymore, as I'll repeat what I've been saying all year - Envoi Allen wins whatever he wants.:)
 
Envoi Allen's odds are only gonna go one way aren't they ? I only have him in one bet at 10s but that includes Kalashnikov for the Ryanair so pretty much given up on that one. I remember similar happening with Samcro and being told to wait for the day that's he'd go off at 2s and he went off odds on in the end

Yep, surely going to go off odds on! Some bookies might try take him on but with max stake offers or something.
