CHELTENHAM 2008 - BALLYMORE PROPERTIES HURDLE



10 Feb update

FORPADYDEPLASTERER @ 16/1 - emerged as a serious threat to all at Cheltenham with a stylish victory in the Deloitte Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown.

Trainer Tom Cooper said: "He does want further but we have been running him over shorter to teach him to race at speed.

"He had a slight problem behind after his last race but these races have been about educating him to jump and travel.

"I am thrilled with him and he will be twice the horse over a trip. He'll go for the Ballymore now and wait to you see him over fences next year!"



THE TOTHER ONE - Best price 14/1 with Victor Chandler.

He is improving rapidly and will be some sort of chaser next year. He is in the BALLYMORE and the 3 mile Hurdle and we will make up our minds nearer the time.

IF the ground dried up we would go 3 miles as he is quite versatile, BUT he will probably go for the BALLYMORE.
