18:48 MSK Silversands Beginners Chase

Race preview

BALLYADAM was no match for the impressive Hercule Du Seuil at Ballinrobe last time but looks capable of getting off the mark over fences now. The Fame And Glory gelding was a Grade 1 winner as a novice hurdler but hasn't really lived up to that since. He has shown some solid form in handicap company, however, and as a solid fifth in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham this year. He was favourite on his return to chasing in late May but couldn't match the winner then. This looks a winnable opportunity now. Willie Mullins saddles Hubrisko and he looks a danger after a couple of solid placed efforts over fences. He chased home Salvador Ziggy at Punchestown last month, having met trouble in running, and should be capable of another big show. Joyeux Machin was a good winner over hurdles here in late May and is one to note on his chase debut.
