Verdict

Perhaps surprisingly Willie Mullins hasn't won this race since 2012 but he can put that right courtesy of LECKY WATSON who was an excellent fifth in last month's Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival. Gordon Elliott's Quantum Storm is feared most on the back of his promising second over 2m here in February. Clonmel runner-up Walk Away Harry is also on the shortlist for last year's winning yard.

  1. LECKY WATSON (IRE)
  2. QUANTUM STORM (IRE)
  3. WALK AWAY HARRY (IRE)
