Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2020

Longhouse Poet was last seen finishing third behind Latest Exhibition in Grade One company at Leopardstown’s Dublin Racing Festival, with You Raised Me Up occupying the same finishing position in the ultra-competitive Ladbrokes Hurdle on the same afternoon.
Brassil added: “I was very happy with Longhouse Poet’s last run — and all being well, he’ll go to Cheltenham. That’s the plan.
“He’s in the two races, the Ballymore and the Albert Bartlett. At the moment we’d be favouring the two-five (Ballymore), mainly because we think we have a better chance of getting soft ground on the Wednesday than the Friday.
“There’ll be lots of good horses up against him, but I hope he’s improving and that he’ll run a good race.

Some impressive comments from Donoghue on Envoi Allen. I remember Codd saying Labaik was the best work horse they ever had...

The Big Breakaway heading straight to Cheltenham. Currently 8-1 for the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle and as big as 14-1 for the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle.
Goshen and The Big Breakaway will head straight to next month's Cheltenham Festival without another run after connections opted to bypass weekend... Read More
I would fancy TBB to serve it up to Envoi Allen

Does he idle when in front or is he emptying ?

I've only left a small bet open on him, but not expecting much from it tbh.
