Until he disappears from this list..... https://www.sportinglife.com/racing/...hurdle-grade-1Comment

Gentingbet very slow to move Envoi. Still 6/4 with them if anyone else wants more onComment

EA 4/7 to go here was probably the easiest winner I’ll get all week. Profits now reinvested on an EA winComment

I'm not sure he should have shortened at all?!Originally posted by dthompson114 View Post
It was a NRNB market.
He was 2/1 for the Supreme NRNB and had a better chance in that, in my opinion, than he does in this.Comment

Better chance in supreme? That race looks stacked to me. Sporting John the only real danger Ballymore wise IMO. I think 6/4 is a fair price. Will go off around 4/5 so can lay some off at the off aswell.Comment

Well done GG , think this is an easier assignment than SupremeOriginally posted by Geegees View PostComment

Yeah easily.... you can take it as an absolute given he's better than Abacadabras - so he would have only had to beat Shishkin (who's never had a run in a graded race) and Asterion Forlonge.Originally posted by dthompson114 View Post
Sporting John looks better than those to me.
Plus, Envoi has better form over 2 miles - I think he was unbeatable in the Supreme, I think he's a little bit (only a little) bit more vulnerable at this trip.
I didn't back Envoi for the Supreme as I didn't think he'd go there, but if I'd have KNOWN he was, I'd have definitely had him as the winner. Easily.Comment

The Supreme looks a really deep race to me. Not sure he is facing the same quality in the Ballymore but time will tell.Originally posted by Kevloaf View PostComment

Yeah it does look deep, with horses a level below.Originally posted by Faugheen_Machine View Post
I suppose it doesn't matter at all now.... but I just felt EA's 2 mile runs were a lot better than when he stepped up.
He's the right favourite no matter which one he ran in
- and that wasn't in doubt for me

Gordon said he done very little with him between the Royal Bond & Naas. I guess he didn’t want to risk over cooking him too early in the season. Hopefully he’ll be all the better for it next week.Originally posted by Kevloaf View PostYeah it does look deep, with horses a level below.

The point there is, because of how he ran, he had to make an excuse for it - therefore it's not his best run.Originally posted by SeanRock View PostComment

I disagree, it makes sense to me. You can’t have him cherry ripe for every grade 1 throughout the season. Elixir D’Ainay & Longhouse Poet took in their first grade 1 at Naas and were probably more tuned up because of that.Originally posted by Kevloaf View PostComment

Naas is a very stiff finish (moreso than Cheltenham) and is undulating. Perfect track to prep for Cheltenham. If he stays the distance at Naas, he will stay up the hill at Cheltenham. I may be in the minority, but I think that was just as impressive as the Royal Bond, where he dictated the race from the front so it would suit him. It was a proper gallop all the way so no matter if they go slow and then sprint, or go a gallop throughout, EA has proved he has the speed for the former and the stamina for the latter.
Absolute bombproof. 2nd best favourite of the meeting.Comment
