The 2m4 William Hill Each Way Extra Challenge Series Handicap Steeplechase gets under way at 4.50 at Gowran Park on Saturday. A field of eleven go to post and it looks set to be a hot betting contest.

Journalist and tipster John O'Riordan has selected a NAP and Next Best.

Next Best: Boston Rover

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.

Course and distance winner Noble Talent is another with strong claims in an open contest for Tommy Nagle Junior. The talented seven-year-old has cheekpieces fitted for the first time and is looking to bounce back from his last effort when he was seen pulling up at Navan.
