Beau Balko (1/2), Atlanta Brave (11/4), Thankyourluckystar (11/2), Waterloo Quay (16/1), Be Fair (25/1), Ardenay (33/1), Unwanted Attention (100/1), Le Balcon (150/1), Stevie Mckeane (150/1), Freddy Boy (150/1)

Verdict

BEAU BALKO shaped promisingly sent hurdling in a hood when runner-up at Chepstow 4 weeks ago and this looks an excellent opportunity to go one better with improvement on the cards. Atlanta Brave is an interesting newcomer to Rules having won his sole start in Irish points and is expected to pose the main threat.

  1. BEAU BALKO (FR)
  2. ATLANTA BRAVE (IRE)
  3. BE FAIR
