Forecasts
Ballycrystal (10/11), Valgor Du Ronceray (7/2), Lough Kent (11/2), Thankyou Very Much (7/1), Return Flight (10/1)
With slight doubts about a few of these runners, most notably the returning stable debutante Return Flight, the horse that can perhaps be expected to run her usual solid race is the track smart mare Thankyou Very Much. However, one must have some reservations as to whether or not she's strong enough to cope with the classy BALLYCRYSTAL. Brian Ellison appears primed to 'farm' these additional jumpers bumper fixtures this weekend, and his 130-rated winning hurdler rates as the pick here.
