Verdict

The market should prove a valuable guide but Willie Mullins' newcomer DADDY LONG LEGS, who showed plenty of promise on his sole Flat run in France, is fancied to make a winning start in this sphere. Irish Panther rates a big threat but might have to settle for second once more, with Gordon Elliott's hurdling debutant Cleatus Poolaw also well in the mix in an intriguing maiden.
