Alpha Male (6/4), Ballymalin (2/1), Robinroyale (5/1), Mr Love (8/1), Laugharne (12/1), Beneagles (33/1), Zamparelli (33/1), Knight To Open (100/1)

Verdict

Whilst it is always tough for horses to carry multiple penalties in Novice Hurdles, BALLYMALIN is more than capable of being upto the job against these rivals. In notching up three victories at staying trips already this season, he's earned a top rating of 139. This combination of track and ground aren't likely to pose any significant concerns, and it could be either Alpha Male (most likely not one of the yard's leading lights) or the costly UK debutant Mr Love which gives Ballymalin the most to consider. 1. Ballymalin 2. Mr Love 3. Alpha Male
