Forecasts

Gallyhill (6/5), Cregane Ned (10/3), Bonarc (7/2), Joseph Conrad (4/1), Hereditary Rule (15/2), Moon Eagle (20/1), Rightful Mind (33/1)

Useful-hurdler GALLYHILL has failed to complete on all 3 of his starts over fences this season but this looks a weak race starting out for Gordon Elliott so is worth another chance. Joseph Conrad showed plenty when winning a maiden hurdle in 2020 and shaped as if better for the run starting out for this yard after 15 months off at Navan, so isn't taken lightly now switched to fences.
