In depth
Verdict
Wonder Laish hasn’t raced since October last year but is accustomed to competing in much stronger company than this. VADO FORTE hasn’t won over hurdles since 2018 but it’s a surprise to see him running in a race like this after an excellent win over fences at the Galway Festival. Bal De Rio also has a chance at the weights along with the selection’s stable companion Breffni Brave.
