Forecasts

Slade Steel (8/15), Wingmen (5/2), Patter Merchant (9/2), Spread Boss Ted (6/1), Ballybow (9/1), Joystick (16/1), Built By Ballymore (33/1), Yoradreamer (66/1), Kings Hill (80/1)

Verdict

This looks a warm race of its type with marginal preference for SLADE STEEL, who was brought down through no fault of his own at Punchestown having finished runner-up on his previous 3 tries over fences. Wingmen is the obvious danger on form, though it will be interesting to see what Spread Boss Ted can do over the larger obstacles.

  1. SLADE STEEL (IRE)
  2. WINGMEN (IRE)
  3. SPREAD BOSS TED
