Verdict

Such was the impression he made at Gowran, BALLYNEETY gained Grade One entries over the festive period but after a disappointing effort at Punchestown such plans had to be shelved. It is hard to believe that was his true running however so he is given another chance with the hope that first-time headgear proves key. Laverteen is relatively lightly raced for his age but showed that he has plenty of potential when winning last time after a lengthy absence. Court Maid has solid form but over further and on faster ground hence her being third best here.
  1. Ballyneety
  2. Laverteen
  3. Court Maid
