Verdict

KILLER MODE gets the nod after 2 good placed efforts last month, although a strong market move for the Willie Mullins-trained French Flat recruit Bring On The Night, who has been absent for nearly 2 years, would put a different slant on things. Snake Oil is another who hasn't been seen for a while but he's sure to play a part if in the same form as when third at Leopardstown last Christmas.

  1. KILLER MODE (IRE)
  2. BRING ON THE NIGHT
