Verdict

The Willie Mullins-trained MR BLUE SKY got off the mark at Wexford in October and ran well in defeat stepping in to Listed company last month going down by ½L to Gallant John Joe at Naas, when possibly given a little too much to do in the closing stages. C&D winner Eclair De Beaufeu led turning in and was just headed when still in contention when unseating rider at the final flight in the County hurdle at the festival and can emerge as the biggest danger in this contest. Another Mullins runner Cash Back looks the best of the rest.
