Appreciate It (11/8), El Fabiolo (9/2), Dysart Dynamo (9/2), Banbridge (8/1), Saint Roi (10/1), Fil Dor (16/1), Flame Bearer (22/1), Visionarian (40/1)

Verdict

APPRECIATE IT has made an exceptional start over fences and looks more than capable of maintaining his unbeaten run in this sphere at the likely expense of his classy stablemate Dysart Dynamo. Banbridge is a player and the other Willie Mullins-trained trio have cases to be made for them.
