PADDY POWER AMBASSADOR

IMPAIRE ET PASSE is a really good horse and should have no trouble stepping up in trip in this afternoon’s Ballymore Novices’, despite winning over two miles at Punchestown last time.

Last season, SIR GERHARD was an impressive winner of the Ballymore and he made a winning debut over fences. I was impressed with him and he looks a value bet in the Brown Advisory contest. LANGAR DAN has not had much luck at Cheltenham since finishing runner-up in the Martin Pipe hurdle two seasons ago. he’s still well handicapped.

DELTA WORK revelled in the soft conditions over the Cross Country course last year when beating Tiger Roll and can deny his stablemate Galvin now.

ELIXIR DE NUTZ has been contesting graded races and has improved with age. he looks a good each-way bet in a competitive Grand Annual field.

In the Champion Bumper, there’s a good backstory to the well-fancied

A DREAM TO SHARE and it would be remarkable for his octogenarian trainer John Kiely if he managed to win it.
