Verdict

The eyes are immediately drawn to the unknown quantity MISTER POLICEMAN, who did the job well when winning the second of his two starts in juvenile hurdles in France last spring and has since joined the all-powerful Willie Mullins yard. It goes without saying that confidence behind the 5-y-o in the betting would look significant. He will need to be pretty decent in order to topple established smart performers Sole Pretender and Fils d'Oudairies, though (feared most in that order of preference).
