3.30 Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup (Grade 1) 3m 70yd

Affordale Fury: Rewarded noticeable market support when taking advantage of race fitness and his favoured decent ground to cause a bit of an upset in the Savills Chase at Christmas. Every chance his key rivals have improved from that clash, so it’s likely that a reproduction of his last performance mightn’t be enough to deliver the goods again this time. Still, he’s not overly exposed as a chaser, with just seven runs to his name, so he could have progression in him.
