Verdict

It's hard to get away from Gordon Elliott's exciting prospect BALLYADAM, who made a seamless transition to hurdling last month and bids to follow in high-class stablemate Envoi Allen's footsteps here. Cask Mate is suddenly thriving and could be the one to give the selection most to think about, ahead of The Very Man.
