Betting Forecast

5/4 Ballybollen, 20/1 Colga Boys, 5/1 Ealu Tapa, 16/1 Joshs Jury, 8/1 Long Story, 25/1 Merci Vieil Ami, 7/1 Millers Point, 100/1 Moundofthehostages, 100/1 Saviour Blu, 10/1 Srah, 6/1 Tommys Ticket, 100/1 Hometomayo, 80/1 Pamelaisbrass

Verdict

Henry de Bromhead could hardly have found a weaker contest in which to introduce BALLYBOLLEN, and it’s hard to look past the well-bred Nathaniel gelding. The most solid form is provided by Kilbeggan sixth and seventh, Tommy’s Ticket and Long Story, with the former much preferred of the pair, while Ealu Tapa was fancied when finishing mid-field at Punchestown. Harry Swan’s mount Millers Point is well bred and could easily get into the money. [Mark Nunan]
