Forecasts

Vina Ardanza (11/10), Whosgotyanow (7/2), Ballybough Native (5/1), Wouldn't You Agree (15/2), My Boy Bob (14/1), Cahirdown Boy (18/1), Freddie Robdal (25/1), Babylon Beach (28/1)

Verdict

No real solild options here so the vote goes to Gordon Elliott chase newcomer VINA ARDANZA who never got involved in the Galway Hurdle last time but had some very useful novice hurdle form in the spring. Wouldn't You Agree will be a threat if keeping the errors down. Ballybough Native hails from a top yard and could also play a part on his chase debut.

  1. VINA ARDANZA (IRE)
  2. WOULDN'T YOU AGREE (IRE)
  3. BALLYBOUGH NATIVE (IRE)
