Tullyhill (11/4), Mystical Power (10/3), Slade Steel (7/2), Firefox (11/2), Jeriko Du Reponet (11/1), Tellherthename (14/1), Asian Master (16/1), Mistergif (18/1), Favour And Fortune (28/1), Gold Dancer (50/1), Supersundae (66/1), Kings Hill (150/1)
SLADE STEEL may have lost his unbeaten record over hurdles at Leopardstown last month, but he bumped into a potentially exceptional novice in Ballyburn (short-priced favourite for the Gallagher) and is fancied to give that form a major boost by taking the curtain raiser. Tullyhill booked his spot for this with a dominant display at Punchestown and, with the timefigure supporting the performance, he requires the utmost respect, while his stablemates Mystical Power and Mistergif add further spice.
