Verdict

BALLYNAGRAN left his previous form behind when getting off the mark at Wetherby last month, proving game as he made all, and the 8-y-o could still have more to offer after only 3 starts over fences. He is taken to see off the challenge of Sir Apollo who can bounce back returned to this C&D in a change of headgear, Loughermore completes the shortlist.

  1. BALLYNAGRAN (IRE)
  2. SIR APOLLO (IRE)
  3. LOUGHERMORE (IRE)
