Forecasts

Paloma Blue (7/4), Pallasator (2/1), Next Destination (4/1), Someday (11/2), Laverteen (14/1), Sally Park (16/1), Allez Kal (100/1), Heather Moth (100/1), The Lady Of Brega (100/1), Fern Owl (100/1), Niebieski (100/1), Playtimesover (100/1)

Verdict

Pallasator, a Group winner on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott, is a fascinating hurdling debutant under the guidance of Gordon Elliott but he meets two very smart bumper horses in the shape of Next Destination - fourth in the Champion Bumper - and PALOMA BLUE who pushed the winner of that race, Fayonagh, to within 6L at Punchestown. Of that pair, a marginal preference is for the latter on the basis that he has less miles on the clock, though the market vibes should speak volumes. Laverteen and Sally Park are also respected.
