In depth

Verdict

A tricky event in which Keltic Heritage, Fin Bec, Ballybrophy and Channahrlie al hold claims. The first named has been in good heart this season and while this represents a drop in trip, he is a consistent old stick and should run his usual game race. Fin Bec was scheduled for a tilt at either the Lincolnshire or the Welsh Nationals. He missed both of those engagements and this looks to have been very much a third choice outing.Ballybrophy was a bitter disappointment last time out and if he shows no ill effects from that effort, his novice form would be good enough to take a hand. Channahrlie has gained plenty of success after a string of second placings. Today represents a step up in class for the grey and he will need to produce a career best performance. No Forecast has an interesting booking in Tony McCoy while Bush Park has been running well and should be capable of challenging for the placings. Ballybrophy is selected in a wide open contest.
