Verdict

Thomas Mullins won this prize 12 months ago and he saddles another live contender in the shape of GRAND PARTNER with Paul Townend looking a notable booking. The nine-year-old has been lightly-raced over hurdles since scoring off a 7lb lower mark at Leopardstown last winter but has looked better than ever on the Flat recently and may still be on the upgrade. Diamond Cauchois is of obvious interest on his first start since joining Gordon Elliott whilst the likes of Prospectus and Darkest Flyer are also capable of making their presence felt.
  1. Grand Partner

  3. Darkest Flyer
