• Tina Meehan (25/1)
  bet365

  Betvictor

Verdict

The Great Unknown seems poised for improvement and might find this longer trip more to his liking. With Henry De Bromhead’s yard in form, he presents a compelling choice. Pallas Athene, under the guidance of Gordon Elliott and with the addition of cheekpieces, is expected to make a strong showing and could well be the one to beat. However, don’t overlook Razdan, who could translate his flat form into a successful hurdle debut. This race could offer some intriguing possibilities, especially with the potential for some of the longer shots to outperform expectations.
