Forecasts

Ballybay (15/8), Follow The Brave (5/1), Built By Ballymore (6/1), Halibut (6/1), Spirit Of Legend (10/1), Path D'oroux (14/1), Read To Return (14/1), Westcoastinformant (14/1), Jessqueen (20/1), Socialoccasion (20/1), Walk In The Dark (25/1), Mon Coeur (28/1), Reginalds Tower (50/1), Monza Man (66/1), Hidalgo Des Mottes (66/1), Thoughtthatcounts (66/1), Coburg (66/1), Share A Moment (80/1), Saddle In The Rain (80/1), Layla Grace (100/1), Somethingaboutcian (125/1), Shanfilly (125/1), Lacken Blaze (125/1)

The market will no doubt prove informative in the final race of the 2021/22 Irish jumps season. The vote goes to BALLYBAY, who is seemingly the choice of Patrick Mullins and with his father enjoying yet another fruitful Punchestown Festival, he can make a winning start. Spirit of Legend was runner-up on his sole start in Irish points last year so he gets the vote for second, with point winners Path d'Oroux and Read To Return also likely types on paper.
