Coeur De Beauchene (1/1), Stowaway Forever (4/1), Laverteen (5/1), Zen Master (9/1), Balkalin (9/1), Biennial (16/1), R'evelyn Pleasure (16/1), The Lady Of Brega (25/1), Bank Balance (33/1)

Verdict

Given the recent record of his trainer in bumpers, it is hard to get away from COEUR DE BEAUCHENE in the finale. He cost a pretty penny after running well in his only point-to-point outing and must have leading claims of a winning start under rules. Balkalin ran well on his comeback at Naas a week ago and may do better if not feeling any effects of that run while Biennial should also be capable of better than his Leopardstown debut showing. Returning from a layoff here is Laverteen, who has run well in two of these already and is worth a market check.
  1. Coeur De Beauchene
  2. Biennial
  3. Balkalin
