Verdict

Willie Mullins has a strong hand here with both Cadmium and Void Du Reve. Ruby Walsh has seemingly sided with the former and they should go well after a course win last time. Voix Du Reve wasn't entirely fluent at Galway but disposed of Mind's Eye in good enough style and should have learned from it. This might be a decent chance for Gordon Elliott to get one over on the Closutton team. HARDLINE looked good in winning at Fairyhouse last time and this graded winner over hurdles should make further progress.
  1. Hardline
  2. Cadmium
  3. Voix Du Reve
