Verdict

A case can be made for each of the sextet, perhaps the strongest for BALLY FREE who looks a stayer on the up and he may enhance his trainer's fine recent record in this race. Stablemate Lord Rouge could be worth another chance given the impression he created on hurdle debut, while Rebel Budz should be in the mix following his impressive success in a Cork maiden last time.
