Verdict

Without doubt, the one to beat in this contest is DOCTOR DUFFY. Despite producing a below-par effort at the Galway Festival when last seen, the form he showed prior to that disappointment, including when a narrow second to the talented Peregrine Run, is much stronger than that of his rivals. If anything is to give him a race, it is likely to be Everybreathyoutake who was bidding to take his record over hurdles to 3-3 when just denied at Limerick last time. On the basis of that run, he should hold Stacks Mountain comfortably after that horse was over four-length behind him then.
  1. Doctor Duffy
