Act Of Innocence and Taurus Bay head the early betting for the novice hurdle at 4.10pm, but once again I have found one that is hard to ignore – and is yet to be seriously tested.
Adonedeal arrives here unbeaten after winning a point-to-point at Ballindenisk by 17 lengths, followed by novice hurdles at Stratford and Plumpton over two miles, showing a blend of speed and courage to win the last one by half a length.
Sure to be far better suited by the added half mile, and with Gavin Sheehan in the saddle, who rides this track as well as any, he would not be a 40/1 chance if I was running the book, and as he represents trainer Olly Murphy who is having plenty of winers, I cannot resist a touch each way – just in case!
