Verdict

Dominant when defeating Slade Steel at Leopardstown in February, BALLYBURN did little to alter the fact he's every inch a top-class prospect when an impressive winner of the Gallagher Novices' at the Festival last month and he's very difficult to oppose. Staffordshire Knot and Mirazur West can do battle for minor honours.
