Verdict

It's hard to get away from the chances of the Gordon Elliott-trained THE BOSSES OSCAR following a facile win in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle when last seen in December. Anything Will Do is the obvious danger after a hat-trick of wins in novice company before running well in defeat in the Grade 2 Moscow Flyer novices' at Punchestown last month. The Paul Gilligan-trained Shanwalla suggests we may not have seen the best of him yet and shouldn't be taken lightly receiving weight all round.
