Verdict

With trainer Willie Mullins not treating this contest as a high priority in recent years, the Gordon Elliott-trained ABACADABRAS looks to have an ideal opportunity to add to his easy victory on hurdling debut at Gowran Park last month. The five-year-old finished fourth of 14 in the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham festival in March and can hold off the attentions of Fast Buck who is likely to emerge as the biggest danger. The Paul Nolan-trained Latest Exhibition has done little wrong in three career starts so far and should not be taken lightly.
  1. Abacadabras
  2. Fast Buck
