Verdict

C&D winner Dr Mikey hasn't gone on from an impressive start to his chasing career this season (beat a subsequent Cheltenham Festival winner), but he's afforded respect back over timber here and will act on the ground. The same can be said of POLY ROCK, who looks best-placed of the Willie Mullins pair here. He possibly didn't stay at Galway on his seasonal bow in the autumn and is better judged on his easy Clonmel maiden success. Landofhopeandglory isn't out of this should be quickly adapt to hurdling again.
