Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2019

[boopa]

Be a good one for the future, unsure if he'll make the festival though?!?

Yeah gone off him for this. Big baby.

[Kevloaf]

Haven't seen but has Epitom struggled at 1/8?

[boopa]

No he won as he liked. Didn't give the hurdles much respect. Listed race at Huntingdown Vinndication won next.

[Scooby91]

Good stuff, thought you had given up on himself & Blackbow. If he’s going to the festival he still goes Albert Bartlett btw

Deffinately havent gave up on the pair Just cautious after master dino and QG ... plus a few others lately.

We will see

Thomas derby goes there too.

PP and Betfair have pushed Carefully Selected out slightly for this and there are bits of blue for the Albert Bartlett with BetVictor and Betway.

Brewin’upastorm confirmed as being aimed here

Emitom

Greatrex added: “I would say that has done him good over two miles, and Gavin said you could stick to two miles on a stiffer track – but I think two and a half is his best trip at the moment.

“I’d like to step him up in class, and maybe something like the Sidney Banks (at Huntingdon next month) could be an option.

“We have done well in that race, the last few years.

“He needs to sharpen up to be competitive around Cheltenham , but it could be when we put him in a better race he becomes more alert. Talent-wise, he is as good as I’ve had.”

Boopa,
I liked his 1st race, and made a note of the horse. Greatrex then puts him in a C4?? What is it with these flakey trainers????.

The plan was to run in a decent race over Christmas but he had a setback.

Hadn't realised Beakstown set a course record in winning the Ballymore Leamington Novices' Hurdle @ Warwick on Saturday.

Does he interest anyone?

On limited racing he has done he seems to take a liking for better ground.

FFP indicated he might skip Cheltenham and is very very much a future chaser.

I've not seen actual quotes though

Skelton said he's unlikely to go to Cheltenham straight after the race but I suppose plans can change

Owner wants Cheltenham runners.

Owner wants Cheltenham runners.

He does, but he paid £400k for the horse and it could ruin him if this is a season too early. He's a chaser and should be kept back for next season imo
