Forecasts

Ball D'Arc (6/5), Ballycasey (15/8), Tell Us More (8/1), Nearly Nama'd (10/1), Devils Bride (12/1), The Game Changer (12/1), Flemenstar (20/1), Realt Mor (25/1)

Verdict

The champion trainer has an excellent record in this contest, winning five of the previous seven renewals, and he should have leading claims again with Ballycasey. He is a proven performer but might just find this trip shorter than ideal. Instead, it is the champion trainer-elect that may prevail with the improving BALL D'ARC, who is shaping up to be a smart chaser and has won back-to-back Grade 3 contests in good style suggesting there should be more to come from him. Nearly Nama'd ran a fine race on his comeback at Navan last month and is capable of building on that while Tell Us More can put a disappointing Cheltenham spin over hurdles behind him now in blinkers for the first time.
