Verdict

In what could be quite a warm contest the vote goes to CLINTON HILL for Willie Mullins. He showed plenty in three bumpers and has a very likable pedigree for staying trips over obstacles so could easily be able to win this at the first time of asking. Expensive Gigginstown purchases Invincible Cave and Eurobot both have possibilities here and they rate the biggest dangers.
  1. Clinton Hill
  2. Invincible Cave
  3. Eurobot
