Verdict
Ding Ding bids for a sixth course victory and can never be left out of calculations around here. Et Moi Alors showed promise as a juvenile and this represents a drop in class but Shadow’s Boy was a 20/1 chance when second in a Leicester seller last time and Buble is also only a plater nowadays. Pulled up the last twice over fences, BALLYHEIGUE BAY returns to hurdling on a very attractive mark. He’s won twice on this track and is fancied to concede weight all round.
