Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2020

[Humble Pie]

It's pretty common for Willie and other trainers to enter the mares novices in the other races.

Block book , I thought ?

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

Anyone watching Get in ? I told you i got a response from Dicky about being scared of EA. Thought i was ask him again now that they confirmed Bally more EA.

Bit of blue on oddschecker for Shishkin. Presumably, some Supreme backers wetting themselves at the prospect of the Huntingdon entry.

Speed track and likely ordinary field. Doubt it will provide many clues and I can't see him moving.

Contrast the way he was ridden at Newbury compared to Asterion Forlonge at Leopardstown. One for foot, the other for stamina. I don't think that was a smokescreen.

Stu williams has stuck him up today.

TBF there aren’t many that would back him at the current price. We could all pick better chances of winning on even money chances on any day of the week than EA in the Ballymore.
