Ballygunner Castle⁶⁷

5/6

Useful hurdler who shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up on his chasing debut at Punchestown in December. Still in front when fell 4 out in beginners chase there (3mf, good to soft) 67 days ago and remains with lots of potential. The one to beat.

10/1

Fairly useful winner over hurdles. Given a considerate introduction to chasing when fifth of 8 in novice chase (4/1) at Gowran (19.3f, heavy) 22 days ago, not knocked about. Sure to do better so needs considering.

Forecasts

Ballygunner Castle (5/6), Spread Boss Ted (10/3), Supersundae (7/2), Champagne Jury (10/1), Waittillitellyou (28/1), Faulty (33/1), L'amiral Fromentin (250/1)

BALLYGUNNER CASTLE holds the clear edge on form and is fancied to make amends for his Punchestown fall. Stablemates Spread Boss Ted and Supersundae also look to have better days ahead of them and can chase him home in that order.
