Verdict

CUT THE ROPE made a good start over hurdles at Limerick was in the process of improving on that when coming down late on at Gowran Park last month. He gets the nod. Willie Mullins new recruit Quai de Bourbon must be respected, particularly if the market speaks in his favour, whilst Fenway Park should also go well.
