Soon raced in 3rd, closed 5th, soon 2nd, 3rd again approaching 12th, under pressure approaching 3 out and dropped to last, went moderate 3rd at final fence and one pace op 18/1
Mala Beach (4/9), Bonny Kate (7/2), Val De Ferbet (7/1), Maggio (20/1)
All things being equal this should go to Gordon Elliott's Troytown winner MALA BEACH. Outclassed in the Irish Gold Cup last year this is a much easier level of competition and a trip which should suit him well. Val De Ferbet and Bonny Kate, in that order, could be the ones to complete the tricast.
