Verdict

The Gordon Elliott yard have won this contest in three of the last five years including the last two renewals with Tombstone and Hardline. The trainer saddles two in the race with the Gigginstown House Stud-owned ECLAIR DE BEAUFEU getting back to winning ways following a hiccup at Punchestown last month. The five-year-old is taking the same path as his stablemates running in the Grade 2 Craddockstown Novice Chase in November before running here. The Willie Mullins-trained Tornado Flyer, gutsy winner at Naas last month and Due Reward for the Henry De Bromhead yard appear to be the biggest dangers.
