Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2020

So many of us talk through out pockets so emotional responses are always going to happen.
If I had a fiver for every jockey I’d want retired before their time I could probably buy myself a small Caribbean island...

Totally Agree, swings and roundabouts.

Also happy enough with the 66/1, I liked the way he travelled in his last two races, can see him
Sneaking into 3rd Especially if the field cuts up badly because of envoi Allen

Might be a decent price on the day still with some extra places too....

Trainer/Jockey/Owners unlikely to catch the imagination?

It would annoy a few alrigt. can't see it especially since his current mares have just been beat. Maiden distance isn't normally important, but i know what you mean.
 
It's pretty common for Willie and other trainers to enter the mares novices in the other races.

Not sure why they do it.
But they do it with some and not others.
It'll be owner led I'd have thought.
Mt Leinster is only entered in the supreme for example.

I'm interested to see how Longhouse Poet gets along tomorrow since the race is 2m 6f. I think this horse has been overlooked. I feel as though 2m has been too short of a trip and I think 2m 6f will bring the best out of him. He's got useful form and he didn't finish all that far behind Envoi Allen who looked I think just getting up to finish whilst in front. I feel as though if Longhouse Poet wins tomorrow impressively upped in trip he could be a dark horse. I got him at 33/1 back in early winter last year for the Ballymore but I'm worried he might switch to the Albert Bartlett race for Cheltenham.

I think albert bartlett will suit longhouse more - looked like he needed further last day over 2.5. I think form very solid and shouldnt be much between him and elixir tomorrow
