Forecasts

Matin Midi Et Soir (1/2), Ballyfad (8/11), Port Authority (4/1), Walks In June (9/1), Daydream Nation (10/1), Arcadian Emperor (10/1), Polepatrick (12/1), Kazansky (20/1), Sept Etoiles (20/1), Zanndabad (25/1), Largy Hill (25/1), Timeless Treaty (25/1), Maganey (50/1), Grey Ace (200/1)

Verdict

Gordon Elliott has a remarkable record in this race, winning 9 of the last 10 renewals, and he has an excellent chance of adding to that tally with BALLYFAD, who is comfortably the best of these over hurdles and was an impressive winner on his sole start in a point. It's probably significant that French-recruit Matin Midi et Soir was sent off favourite when down the field in the Grade 1 Champion Juvenile Hurdle at the Punchestown Festival, and he rates as the primary threat.
