Verdict

MIGHTY POTTER made an impressive start when bagging a Punchestown bumper in the spring and is fancied to go in at the first time of asking over hurdles now for his top yard. Stablemate The Greek is feared most on the back of his good Gowran fourth, although Onlyhuman has the form to play a big part if fully tuned up after his long absence.

  1. MIGHTY POTTER (FR)
  2. THE GREEK (IRE)
  3. ONLYHUMAN (IRE)
