Ballymoy was bought for £75,000 after a couple of runs in Irish points. Representing powerful connections, he’s well worth a market check on his debut under Rules. But the same can be said of fellow newcomer SIANNES STAR, who is a half-brother to a bumper and hurdles winner and is related to Grand National winner Comply Or Die. Irish import Mon Eldorado is possibly the pick of those with bumper experience having stayed on late last time at Clonmel though Buckby Boy, Snapdragon Fire and Go Go Lucas have also hinted at ability. Simply The Betts has a staying pedigree but the booking of Bryan Cooper catches the eye.
