Race Tip

BALLYFAD (1) has done nothing wrong in his short career to date and might prove capable of taking the leap to G1 level. With trainer Gordon Elliott he created a striking impression destroying a subsequent winner on his hurdling debut over course and distance in December. Open to further improvement and may come out on top. TALK THE TALK (9) holds major form claims having looked set to claim the G1 Future Champions Novice Hurdle when falling at the last. This Joseph O'Brien trained five-year-old warrants respect. KING RASKO GREY (4) steps up in grade after making a smooth winning hurdling debut at Limerick over Christmas. THE REVEREND (10) might go well.
