Forecasts

Force De Frap (7/2), Yellow Jacket (7/2), Ballybeg Boss (4/1), Hector Master (6/1), Valirann Gold (6/1), Abaya Du Mathan (17/2), Higgs (12/1), Royal Act (33/1)

Verdict

BALLYBEG BOSS ultimately proved a shade disappointing over hurdles last season but this former point winner is likely to be seen in a better light now handicapping/switched to fences off what looks a very reasonable opening mark. Force de Frap is interesting back in this sphere (placed on a few occasions over fences when trained in France) and he is second choice ahead of Abaya du Mathan.

  1. BALLYBEG BOSS (IRE)
  2. FORCE DE FRAP (FR)
  3. ABAYA DU MATHAN (FR)
