Verdict

Last year's winner Apple's Jade is the one to beat and gets good terms on her reappearance but she was disappointing at the spring festivals and had to work to win a lesser renewal of this last year, so she's no certainty and is once again an odds-on favourite. Her stablemate DORTMUND PARK ended last term with a fine success in the Champion Novice Hurdle over this trip at Punchestown and could have more to offer in open company. At the early prices Davy Russell's mount is worth a chance. Identity Thief completes a strong Gigginstown challenge but must prove his Aintree win wasn't a brief return to form. Arctic Fire is favoured over Jezki from the older brigade.
  1. Dortmund Park
  2. Apple's Jade
