Verdict

Ballyrath is hard to catch right nowadays but won a handicap chase over track and trip just over a year ago, though has changed stables since. Late Romantic is having a first run in a hunter chase but Not That Fuisse rattled up a hat-trick in this sphere last spring, though hasn’t raced since May. Moratorium, Urbanist and BALLYMOY are all race-fit. The latter isn’t the force of old but has won nine times under Rules and may be good enough here.
