Verdict

It's tough to ignore the claims of RULE THE WIND who made a promising start to his hurdle career at Tipperary last month and can strike for the Willie Mullins team. Gavin Cromwell pair Lazer Wolf and Ideal du Tabert may provide the main opposition unless the betting vibes are strong regarding the Gordon Elliott newcomers.

  1. RULE THE WIND (IRE)
  2. LAZER WOLF (IRE)
  3. IDEAL DU TABERT (FR)
