Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2020

The Ballymore is looking like a very strong renewal; Envoi Allen certainly isn’t scaring anyone away

Looks a really deep race. Got a feeling the novices might really be up to something this season. They all seem a real proper bunch of horses. Suppose only time will tell!

Great news! Tizzard & Skelton are cheering me up tonight!
 
Sporting John with alot of Blue, anything said anywhere? Form franked or something?
 
Mullins stated in his ATR stable your he doesn’t fear taking on Envoi Allen with the Big Getaway which is uncharacteristically of Willie which is fighting talk in my town!! :applause:
 
Got to love some of the NRNB prices out there at the moment.

Lord Royal at 50/1 stands out with Bet365 only 16s with PP. Mullins was saying he might still go for the AB after not winning the last day but I would not listen to much he says when he is talking about one of his second string. Monkfish will be his number one (only entry) and Janidil might also go there if JP agrees.

There has been a lot more talk from the Mullins camp this year about a horse needing a lot of runs and having lots of experience for the AB. Lord Royal only has 3 career runs (according to racing post) so IF he is going to go anywhere at Cheltenham it should probably be the Ballymore.

He was beaten the last day by an out and out stayer Run Wild Fred who finds loads off the bridle and is a very hard horse to get by looking at his previous runs. RWF is also over priced for the AB.

I was very confident Allaho would drop back to the Ballymore last year and he didn't so who knows but at the prices I think it is worth a go.
 
Henderson confirmed Glynn won’t be going to the festival.

Not come back to any sort of form since his Doncaster win so hoping to find a small race for him then being put away for next year (atr website).

I have Lord Royal backed at 50/1 without NRNB, so I hope you're right.

I thought he'd be a bit light on overall experience and he didn't look like he was relishing the trip IMO.

I'll add him NRNB as well though, with the faint chance he does run here, and I can cash one of to cover the stake :highly_amused:
 
Sporting John 6/1 now on exchanges with CH out to 25/1.....hopefully (certainly for my book) that means decision made!
 
States on betway he is 10/1! Sadly one of the my closed accounts!
 
Big Getaway and Sporting John Blue again today as per the last few days. Envoi Allen red and now as big as 6/4.

Although I put up The Big Getaway pre-season for the AB, I still can't get on board with him being the Ballymore winner. He's likely good enough for a place as the race will cut up a bit.

The RSA will be the race I'd most want to back him for now [insert cliche blah blah blah]

RSA, King George and Gold Cup treble? He could make a serious chaser
 
Hobbs is claiming they haven’t decided where Sporting John goes yet, someone might want to tell him to check Betfair.....
 
The sustained support for the big getaway is very intriguing, sure he was around 20s still after his win LTO and is now as short as 5s for this. Can see him going off from the front and trying to get them all at it from a fair way out.

Hopefully he does go from the front. Gives a nice tow for EA to put the race to bed before the last.

You reckon Envoi Allen has this won before the last?
