PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
A fascinating open with plenty of potential contenders, spearheaded by the return of BALNASLOW. The 11-year-old finished placed at both the Aintree and Punchestown Festivals in the Spring before chasing home Young Hurricane in the Stratford Foxhunters. Call Me Bubbles created a big impression when winning at Loughanmore in October 2016, and he could be a big danger on his return from a long absence. The ultra-consistent Cavite Beta, a winner on his reappearance at Dowth Hall, the former Grade 1 winner Morning Assembley, Quiet Account and Sambremont all add further depth to this contest.
