Soft, Yielding to Soft in places; changed to Soft after Race 1 View all races

Formscan By Alan Magee - BALLYBURN was the star novice hurdler last season and makes his eagerly awaited chasing debut. The point-to-point winner, who gained both of his bumper victories at this venue, was very impressive in scoring three times at Grade 1 level last term including the Gallagher Novices’ Hurdle by a margin of 13 lengths at the Cheltenham Festival. Dee Capo was also a useful novice over hurdles winning twice, while An Epic Song was narrowly beaten in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham last March but has failed to sparkle in two chase starts this season. Miss Pronunciation progressed well over hurdles and completed a hat-trick at Fairyhouse in February.
