Verdict

TEED UP won over hurdles at this meeting last year and might be able to repeat the feat on the Flat on the back of a very promising reappearance second at Tramore 3 weeks ago. Willie Mullins has a cracking recent record in this so Scaramanga and Lot of Joy rate threats. The Very Man and Burren Song also make the shortlist.

  1. TEED UP (IRE)
  2. SCARAMANGA (IRE)
  3. LOT OF JOY (IRE)
