Runners Spotlight

Topgun Simmy
Favorite

Irish raider who won a small-field beginners' chase comfortably at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) last month and was not disgraced in a valuable 2m6f handicap hurdle at the recent Galway festival; still unexposed over fences; commands respect.

Jockey: Paddy Hanlon(7)Trainer: John Joseph Hanlon
2
Ballintubber Boy

Seven-time hurdle winner (2m6f-3m1f, good/good to soft); has taken fairly well to fences but his two 3m Ludlow seconds came in tiny fields and he was soundly beaten when contesting a deeper race at Perth in June.

Jockey: Sam Twiston-DaviesTrainer: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies
3
The Gypsy Davey

Won two small-field chases at Hereford this spring (both 2m5f, good) and comes here after two respectable efforts last month (2m/2m4f) but tackles stronger opposition and competes from 4lb out of the weights.
