Tracked leaders, slight mistake 5th, 4th halfway, 3rd approaching 3 out, ridden and no impression in 4th after 2 out, kept on one pace op 16/1 tchd 10/1
A few of these lock horns once more after playing supporting roles in the Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown over this trip. It has to be worth nothing that the champion jockey sides with CLONDAW WARRIOR and his trainer has also been bullish on his chances of success here. Snow Falcon should run another big race and isn't overlooked easily while Shaneshill was bang in contention in that Leopardstown contest when crashing out at the last. Former winner Dedigout and De Plotting Shed are capable of going well but may need some of the market principles to falter.
1. Clondaw Warrior
2. Shaneshill
3. Snow Falcon
