Verdict
Ballycrystal Court remains unexposed over hurdles and has switched stables and undergone wind surgery since last seen in March. Any market support would be significant and Rivabodiva is also capable of running well after a break. The in-form Justatenner is upped in grade, however, along with recent course and distance winner Karingo. MIRO is fit from the Flat, has form on the track and is the type to find some improvement now upped in trip so he makes more appeal than stable companion Creadan Grae and veteran Man With Van.
