Verdict

Last time out beaten favourite IMPERIAL WAY ran too bad to be true on hurdling debut at Clonmel and can set the record straight in this opening contest for trainer Joseph O'Brien. Serial beaten favourite Sympa Des Flos is now upped in trip for the Willie Mullins stable and the Edward O'Grady-trained Great Khan placed in six of his last seven starts, may have to settle for the minors again.
  1. Imperial Way
  2. Sympa Des Flos
