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.
