Verdict

STILL CIEL holds much the best form on offer and is fancied to go one better than when a very good recent second at Killarney and open her account. Willie Mullins' Get Me To The Park caught the eye on her hurdling debut when seventh at Sligo and is feared most with lots more to come, while Can't Stop Smiling appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

  1. STILL CIEL (IRE)
  2. GET ME TO THE PARK (IRE)
  3. CAN'T STOP SMILING (IRE)
