Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2020

Very nice.

Only danger for Ballymore backers now would be the Champion Hurdle, which I think he would win with ease.

I wondered who would be the first...
 
If your being critical he didn’t do much in front; might want to get them short price lays set up in running up the hill!
 
Still 11/8 with bet365 and plenty of 6/4 around

Davy nursed him to the line when the race was put to bed. It'll be a different story after the last at Cheltenham
 
Boyle Sports go evens Ballymore. Decision made.

Kitchen sink on this animal :encouragement: have to agree, but he’s a battler in a fight

Well done Mark Walsh made it a true run race

Sean Mulryan CEO Ballymore will be well happy with Longhouse Poet who looks the one who will definitely stay up tha hill
 
GE says he'll have three entries and they'll decide at a later date. He is minded to stick to novice company though.

It's either the Ballymore or Champion Hurdle...... As I've always said:devilish:
 
if he is a superstar then i'm taking all the credit, think i mentioned him first 23/2/2018..����;)

Nah, I was there at his birth.
 
Good performance from asterion forlonge. To do that over 2m is impressive. I would expect him to step up to 2 1/2 now.

Added for this @40/1 with uniB

Very very good performance got a serious engine this horse. Would love to see him in this
 
Impressive from Asterion Forlonge. A big horse. As per Simon Rowlands on Twitter, Asterion was 5l quicker up the home straight than Envoi Allen there. Pinch of salt obviously but could have a future

I did say if mullins has something to beat EA hes likely running today. Anyway, needs to step up in grade and trip now.
 
“It was a nice positive performance from him.I think he'll want much further in trip&I'll be going out in trip with him.I'll probably look for a novice hurdle over 2-&-a-1/2 miles rather than 2 miles,"
