Forecasts

Youghal By The Sea (4/5), Ask Paddington (11/4), Placedela Concorde (5/1), Imperial Focus (9/1), Zamarkhan (200/1), Reaplee (200/1), Tibbie Tamson (300/1)

Verdict

Ask Paddington improved with every start in bumpers and should be a player here if able to convert that form over hurdles. Placedela Concorde has really improved of late but may find conceding the double penalty a bit too much so preference is for YOUGHAL BY THE SEA. Gordon Elliot's charge clearly wasn't right at Bellewstown but really bounced back to from last time and has the assistance of Richard Johnson today. He is taken to win again.
  1. Youghal By The Sea
  2. Ask Paddington
  3. Placedela Concorde
