Verdict

The Willie Mullins-yard have won this contest in six of the last seven years, winning the race 12 months ago with Klassical Dream and can add to that tally with the six-year-old MT LEINSTER. The Beat Hollow gelding got off the mark at the second time of asking when landing an 18 runner maiden hurdle over C&D over Christmas and can get the better of the Gordon Elliott-trained Easywork who has done little wrong in a couple of starts over hurdles since November. Asterion Forlonge, 10L winner on hurdling debut at Naas last month and stablemate Blue Sari in the colours of owner J P McManus can compete for the minor honours.
  1. Mt Leinster
