FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A three-time winner over flights, BALLYBAWN BELTER remains unexposed as a chaser. The Liz Doyle trained seven-year-old ran one of her better races over fences when fourth in a slightly higher grade at Leopardstown on her penultimate start. On her final outing of the season, she was still in contention when falling three out in a Listed handicap chase at the Fairyhouse Easter Festival. If fit and ready for this first start since, she has to be very competitive. Two from three over fences, the Gordon Elliott trained Boston Rover looks a progressive young gelding. He could be fairly treated on his first venture into handicap company in this sphere. Noble Talent is another with strong claims in an open contest.
