Verdict

The market will no doubt prove informative in the final race of the 2021/22 Irish jumps season. The vote goes to BALLYBAY, who is seemingly the choice of Patrick Mullins and with his father enjoying yet another fruitful Punchestown Festival, he can make a winning start. Spirit of Legend was runner-up on his sole start in Irish points last year so he gets the vote for second, with point winners Path d'Oroux and Read To Return also likely types on paper.

  1. BALLYBAY (IRE)
  2. SPIRIT OF LEGEND (FR)
  3. PATH D'OROUX (FR)
