2.10 Pertemps Network Final - tip

Gordon Elliott is mob-handed as he looks to saddle the winner of this for the fourth time in five years. Davy Russell has ridden the winner in three of the last six years and gets the leg-up on Sassy Yet Classy, who beat Dallas Des Pictons over 3m at Punchestown in November and was only beaten a neck in a Grade B handicap over 2m4f at Navan on her latest start when another stablemate, Folcano, was a close-up fourth having been sent off favourite. Sire Du Berlais is still 4lb higher than when landing this in 2020 but was a cracking second in the Stayers’ Hurdle last year and had excuses when behind The Jam Man and Third Wind in his prep race at Warwick.

ALAPHILIPPE was only fifth that day but was the one that will have gone into most notebooks as he was having a first run since fifth in last year’s Albert Bartlett. He’d looked the likely winner turning for home but blew up approaching the last – Fergal O’Brien’s charge will be fully primed now. Tullybeg is another Elliott entry with decent claims and Emmet Mullins has high hopes for Winter Fog, blinkered for the first time after a second at Leopardstown where Dunboyne finished fifth. Coeur Serein could reward each-way support at bigger odds.
