9/1
STAFFORDSHIRE KNOT won twice in late November/early December and travelled well when second in Grade 2 Galmoy at Gowran Park 17 days ago, though he wandered before the last and was outbattled. He has the ability to make amends here. Hiddenvalley Lake won the 2024 Boyne Hurdle and is best when fresh, while Maxxum won last year's renewal and has likely been campaigned with this race in mind again.

About The Selections

Angus McNae

Irancy Needs to bounce back from a poor effort behind Lossiemouth last time, but this is a drop in grade and he has the best form in the race being a Grade One-winning novice last season

Johnny Ward

Staffordshire Knot Came up short at Gowran but did little wrong, race fitness a huge asset given conditions and gets weight

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: Staffordshire Knot could be advantaged by a prominent position which looks likely in this field: Of the better-fancied horses, Hiddenvalley Lake is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
Individual Price Hint: Maxxum traded at more than 5 times Betfair SP and 2 times Betfair SP when winning on 2 of its last 5 starts.
