Verdict

BALLYPOREEN has taken his form up a level since joining Donald McCain and still looks hard to beat despite conceding upwards of 12 lb all round. Harper Valley has gone with some promise on his two starts over hurdles and appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of Rose Dobbin's newcomer Why Not Dream.
