After an explosive opening night in round one of the Con & Annie Kirby Memorial, the dust has settled and attention now turns to round two.
At the head of the outright market remains Ballymac Setanta, who strengthened his position with a flawless 28.00 victory.
Leading bookmaker BOYLE Sports has installed Ballymac Setanta as the 7/2 favourite following that impressive display. There is a competitive chasing pack behind him, with Ballydoyle Tina and Lennies Dynamic sharing second favouritism at 8/1, while Bockos Gold is next in line at 12/1.
Interestingly, despite clocking a sensational 27.97, which was the fastest time of the opening round, Bouncing Monarch is priced at 14/1, a quote that one suspects will attract significant interest in the days ahead.

BALLYMAC SETANTA – 7/2
LENNIES DYNAMIC – 8/1
BALLYDOYLE TINA – 8/1
