Verdict

Willie Mullins has won three of the previous renewals of this Listed contest and his FOOTPAD can prove best today. Things didn't go to plan last season but he may have had excuses at Cheltenham when last spotted. There is a stamina query against him too but, all told, he's the class act and can hopefully land this en route to putting his career back on track. Former Cheltenham Festival winner Balko Des Flos danced plenty dances in Grade 1 company last season without success and should be sharper for his reappearance while Jetz and the durable Mala Beach aren't out of things given concerns about the front two in the betting.
