Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2020

it's only a class 4 tomorrow Q

I was questioning how Jackie knew the route plan before the result tomorrow. (i understand now)
Not the class progression of the horse .

Not sure tizzards do maps myself.
Although they may have asked Jackie for directions.
I suppose tractors don't have to stick to traditional routes either.

If he wins nicely tomorrow I could see them going to trials day for the neptune trial, getting beat in that then going bartlett. Not sure about the exeter race myself.

But we shall see.

Tizzard added: “There are plenty of options for him after his next run. He could go to the Listed race at Exeter that Native River and Vision Des Flos won back over two miles and that wouldn’t hinder him.
“That could be a nice option before Cheltenham. We are just minding him a bit as he is a big four-year-old. We will let him grow and take our time with him.”

Found it & seen it.
But I'll believe it when i see it.
Think native river went trials day and fell over , and exeter was an afterthought.
Agree with you anyhow, in that I don't think he'll be a winner at cheltenham, and chasing will be when he's probably better.
 
Really hope the big breakaway wins well today. I do think he will.

Thought his debut was really really good and he could be anything given he’s only a 4 year old.

Think it was one of the best novice performances we have seen to date, the way he travelled and quickened away.
 
Envoi headed to Naas and misses Christmas
 
“The plan is Envoi Allen misses Christmas and comes to Naas, I think the race was made for him” @gelliott_racing
 
Always looked likely given his 4/7 price for the Naas race, and also the lack of depth built up in the 2M4F Novice Hurdle market behind Envoi Allen to date.
Maybe The Big Breakaway puts up a good performance shortly.

TBB will go Albert. Makes sense to avoid Envoi
 
Very good. Why anyone would think connections would dodge one horse is beyond me. Ballymore horse i'd say.

I wouldn’t be too sure mate.

No reason to avoid him given what TBB has done to date can’t do much more, yes opposition might not be as strong but why give such a young horse a hard hard race in the AB.
 
Shortened more for Albert.
 
betting suggests it's 50/50, so they will weight up the races at the time I'd say.
Depends what other option Power has for either race, as he'll influence them to suit himself if he likes it/or another horses chances enough.

Agree. Still think connections will want to avoid Envoi if at all possible.

Should be just Envoi Allen doing a parade circuit on his own then !!
 
I really hope they come here with The Big Breakaway; unless it was really fast ground can’t see any reason he should go for the Albert Bartlett and you can’t be scared of one horse
