Verdict

ALASTOR, a useful performer on the Flat in 2021, makes obvious appeal having joined Willie Mullins, so he's taken to strike at the first time of asking over hurdles in what looks a very winnable contest. Action Motion and Dubai Clover are fancied to give him most to think about.

  1. ALASTOR (IRE)
  2. ACTION MOTION (IRE)
  3. DUBAI CLOVER (IRE)
