Verdict

Another interesting contest to conclude the card. Last year's Listed Close Brothers Chase winner at the Cheltenham Festival, BALLYALTON is the class act in the field and after such a lengthy absence it is unlikely that there will be any chances taken on his fitness. Although he may improve for the run, he will probably be straight enough to do himself justice and he hails from a yard in good form. Utility is in need of significant improvement in his hat-trick bid, while another who does the same in truncated fashion is Seamour, who looks likely to be a danger. Cornborough, Idder, Keep In Line and Master Of Irony are others who could go well in what should be a decent race.
  1. Ballyalton
