Verdict

DECIMATION sets the bar high here and is fancied to open his account having been runner-up on all his three previous outings over hurdles. Bumper winner Hallowed Star shaped with promise behind the selection on his hurdle debut and is open to progress. French recruit Arctic Warrior would also enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in his favour on his hurdle debut for the Willie Mullins team.

  1. DECIMATION (IRE)
  2. HALLOWED STAR (IRE)
  3. ARCTIC WARRIOR (GER)
