In depth
Verdict
A wide open bumper rounds off proceedings and the market may prove the best guide but the TEAMtalk selection is Ball O Malt. The gelding has shown some fair form in this sphere in Ireland and if he reproduces his latest effort when second he will be hard to beat. Nicely Presented is from a yard in top form and he showed enough form on his debut when fourth behind Barracat to suggest he can win a race of this nature. Bramlynn Brook was a fair fifth behind Enistag on his debut and that form has been well franked since. Rakalackey catches the eye on breeding but he may be seen to better effect over a longer trip. A market move for any of the newcomers should be noted.
