2025 Novice Hurdlers

[darlojim]

I was very taken by Ballybow yesterday at Clonmel. Reminds me very much of Stellar Story. Looks like he'll stay well. I think he has to come in to play for the Albert Bartlett. Does anyone know if Gordon has said much about him. 25/1 AP and 20/1 NRNB with365. Anyone else tempted or taken by him ?

Yeah I took the 33s antepost with 365 that was available still after the race - Gordon said he goes there now and in a race that the classiest horse doesnt always win, he'd have a solid enough chance imo. His attitude is terrific, really game sort and loved how he stuck his neck out yesterday

No chance he'd go single figures - from 33/1 even if he was really impressive

Much as I'd like that, having taken 25/1 and 50/1 at points this season and unable to bin them

Agree, Workahead only 10/1 and took care of him easily on his second start at Xmas.

If Kopek bombs out I think Workahead might be the play. Only issue i have with him is not having any grade form, unlike HDB to go from Xmas to the festival with a novice hurdler. He is 7 though so maybe taken a gentler approach with him. On a line through William Munny, Kawaboomga and Kopek (very very loosely might I add as Kopek improved bundles from 1st to 2nd start), he’d definitely have place chances and a win chance should the fav bomb out.

Provides a reasonable bet to nothing though using NRNB, win = shorter odds. No win no go.
Load up then take a view? 365 ideal for it if you’ve got the account.

I'm thinking William Munny could go single figures if impressive at the weekend. Trainer says he needs to win in order to book his Supreme ticket.

They aren’t NRNB i guess

Big price to risk without NRNB I'd say

You wouldn't be surprised either way, but he's definitely been saying Turners and he doesn't usually deviate (relatively speaking)!

….Ballybow;


To be honest if I was Sam, I’d have followed Ballygunner Castle instead of him following us, and pushed him along.

“They went no gallop. They quickened over the last two, but the one thing I do like about our horse, from the second-last to the line – even after the last – he dropped his head and showed a good attitude.

“We’ll go for the Albert Bartlett now. I think the race could suit him, and he could have an each-way chance in a race like that, with a lead, coming at a few horses.”

Same as Corals , ( same company i know ) . - 14-1 Turners , and 7-2 . - al. bartlett.

They know.

The yellow clay is 14/1 now with Ladbrokes for the turners. Have I missed something said?

They followed a decent exchange move this afternoon. He’s not tightened much in the Bartlett though which is slightly odd. Mind you it doesn’t take much this time of year.

Good by Wendigo

Anyone else bought a fun share in him ? Only £60 & get a Chelt runner with decent chance

Think still available

[ComplyOrDie]

No surprise really, but Lulamba taken out of the Supreme
