In depth

Verdict

Great to see so many top Flat and jumps trainers supporting this charity event. Air Supremacy is taking a step-up in trip but battled on to land a 1m4f maiden at the Curragh and is the type to be suited by the extra. PALLASATOR looks a cracking addition to Gordon Elliott's team after scoring seven times for Sir Mark Prescott including last year's Doncaster Cup. He'd been giving all of these considerable weight in a handicap so has to be the selection. Well-known jumpers Ballycasey and Monksland add lustre to the event and both have the ability to make their presence felt while Successor and this year's National Hunt Chase winner Tiger Roll also add interest.
