Perhaps the oddest race of the Festival, a four-mile novice chase for amateur riders. OK Corral has been all the rage for this for months, since the crack amateur Derek O’Connor came over to ride him at Warwick. O’Connor rides again but the horse’s stamina has to be taken on trust and he comes from a yard not known for producing stout stayers.

Ballyward finished strongly to score at Naas in January, though he has a little ground to make up with OK Corral on their hurdles form last year. Discorama may have beaten Ballyward that day, but for taking a shocking fall at the last.

Jerrysback runs as though a step up in distance may help and the rain is good news for him. Impulsive Star won a good-quality handicap at Warwick in January, albeit from a low rating. His stamina seems assured.
