12/1
Hard to rule out many in this bumper but with the Dan Skelton yard firing on all cylinders, NEWGROVE is put forward as the answer. He was an easy winner on his sole outing in Irish points earlier in the year and appears the stable first string on jockey bookings. Ballycrystal Boy was bought for a handsome sum after winning his sole start in Irish points and merits respect having joined the excellent Jamie Snowden stable. Delusionofgrandeur is the tentative pick of those with experience.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: There is a chance of a pace burnout early, and I've Got A Friend is one who could suffer as a result: There is a chance of a pace burnout early, and Micky Haller is one who may benefit from being produced later.
