Verdict

Willie Mullins' MERCUREY looked highly promising when bagging a Gowran bumper on his debut and though failing to follow up at Limerick he remains an exciting hurdling prospect who is fancied to bounce back in style here. Henry de Bromhead's costly Blue Bresil gelding Arctic Bresil, runner-up in a point, is next on the list with Corbetts Cross rating much the pick of those with experience and in the mix too.

  1. MERCUREY (FR)
  2. ARCTIC BRESIL
  3. CORBETTS CROSS (IRE)
