Verdict

The J P McManus-owned BALLYNEETY wouldn't have to improve much on his five solid and consistent starts this season to land the spoils in this contest. The Milan gelding is one of three in the contest for the owner, but can see off the expected challenge from the likes of Ejayteekay from the Champion hurdle winning yard and the Barry Connell-owned Bolbec who won on his latest start in July.
  1. Ballyneety
