Betting tip – Ok Corral, Ballyward and Discorama are the three main protagonists in this race according to oddsmakers. Discorama fell in a race at Naas while holding every chance behind Ballyward who won that race – they now meet again and Discorama looks like a value each-way bet. Ok Corral finished second in the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle last year and comes here off the back of two consecutive wins.
