T4 - Cleenas Lady 63
The very promising Ballymac Under is clear on the figures and rightly heads the market at a best priced 5/6.
I think Matt Dartnall's pup should win and remain undefeated but flanked by Wright Signal and Lively Arthur he may not get his own way up front and will need a bit of luck to get a clear passage.
The value alternative for me is Barrie Draper's well drawn Farloe Niall. This son of Larkhill Jo got within a couple of lengths of Ballymac Under in the semi's which is as close as any dog has ever done since the jolly's debut and he has a plot draw in trap 6. He's not the quickest away from the boxes so will need to show plenty of trackcraft but at the 8/1 available with Bet365, Betfred and Sportingbet he's a value each way alternative to the favourite. Arguably even better value is a buy on Bet HiLo's 50-25-10 index where 'Niall' is quoted at 9-12.
Bet - 2 points buy of Farloe Niall at 12 on the 50-25-10 index with Bet HiLo
