Ballyneety (1/1), Due Reward (5/2), Count Simon (5/1), Minella Times (10/1), Rock Road (16/1)

Verdict

BALLYNEETY looks a useful prospect and won under hands and heels at Gowran Park last time out in the manner of a novice destined for bigger things. This can be used as a stepping stone to bigger things in a race his trainer won last year. Dual hurdles scorer Due Reward probably sets the standard on what he's achieved so far and looks the biggest danger while Count Simon must improve but could do so now on more testing ground.
