Verdict

Gordon Elliot has won four out of the last five runnings of this contest and his BALLYADAM is taken to continue his good run especially considering the weakness and inexperience of most of his rivals. He was expensively bought at the Cheltenham November sales after easily winning a point-to-point in October. He should be able to win this before going on to bigger and better things. Julies Stowaway has twice finished runner-up and given his good attitude to racing, should give the selection most to do. Any market moves for Deployed would interesting. He has some fair bumper form but his chances are tempered by a long absence from the track.
  1. Ballyadam
  2. Julies Stowaway
  3. Deployed
