oddschecker Verdict
BALLYADAM can follow up his recent Listowel win. Although now in the latter stages of his career, the Henry de Bromhead-trained 11-year-old retains plenty of enthusiasm and has been highly consistent under both codes in recent starts. Given that he was able to finish a creditable fourth off 152 in Cheltenham's BetMGM Cup just three runs back, a mark of 83 doesn't look beyond him. A staying-on third over two furlongs shorter here last month, Kilmeaden should relish the extra yardage. Too Bossy For Us also commands respect in a competitive affair.
Prediction: 1st Ballyadam, 2nd Kilmeaden, 3rd Too Bossy For Us
