In depth

Verdict

Baidin Fheilimi is up 8lb for Sunday's victory at Cork where she may have been a bit fortunate. Valours Minion was having his 20th start when producing his best run to date behind Lancing at Cork and that kind of form would put him right in the picture but this should go to BALLYFINBOY. He won a handicap hurdle at Navan last November but has been in excellent form over fences recently, scoring easily at Galway earlier this month, and is now on a massive 35lb lower mark over timber. Kinneagh Cross has been running very well and would be a danger if getting a run from his reserve spot.
