Your best chance of that happening is Ballyburn getting his arse handed to him at Dublin, forcing them to re route.
related double just before Dublin is the best option.

[darlojim]

Naas an option next for Majborough

Where Inthepocket was due to be going

Pauls ride and Marks ride sorted.

Will do if Willie says Ballyburn can't beat Maj. Paul doesn't like riding losers. Not all about jockey bookings. Horse ability will have some say

I'm sure no jockey likes riding losers Lobos

Ballyburn would have to disappoint, or another horse come out as a better 2m prospect from the Irish Arkle for Ballyburn to go elsewhere imo

Yep, all eyes on their next runs.

Walsh said: “He was very good. There were a few little novicey mistakes, but I wouldn’t mind that on his first run.

“He had to do it the hard way in front, but when Paul (Townend, on Tullyhill) came to him we were fairly motoring over the last two and he was good and slick at them.

“With the size of him, fences were always going to be the making of him and it was a great introduction for him.

“He lobbed away in front, he wasn’t keen with me. He has gears and he’ll stay, so he’s one to look forward to.

“Willie’s other two horses in the race were no slouches, so it was a good test for him.”

Frank Berry, racing manager to owner JP McManus, added: “He jumped well and Mark was happy with him.

“We’ll see how he comes out of it and the Grade Two in Naas (on January 5) could be an option. We could only be pleased with the way he won and jumped.”

Looks like it's over 2m if it's the race I think. Has it been upgraded this year as previously it was just an ordinary novice chase?

[Lobos]

Inevitable Money for Ballyburn in the BANC and pushed out for the Arkle.

Wouldn’t necessarily say it’s money. Just Bookies adjusting the odds slightly

[darlojim]

And its Lads/coral that have cut him BANC too

‘The Racing Post will sponsor a new two-mile Grade 2 novice chase at Naas racecourse as part of the Grade 1 Lawlor's of Naas meeting on Sunday, January 5.’
