Forecasts

Verdict

OLD BILL BARLEY is likely to improve on his hurdle debut third last month and can provide Willie Mullins with a third win in this contest since 2018. Dixie Flyer might have still needed the run at Cork last time and can follow the selection home. Gordon Elliott's Benz may prove best of the remainder.
