Verdict

TULLYHILL had some smart form to his name in bumpers and rates a confident choice to build on his promising hurdling debut second at Punchestown and get off the mark in this sphere. The Great Unknown appeals as the one to chase home Willie Mullins' good prospect ahead of hurdling-newcomer Lightkeeper.

  1. TULLYHILL (FR)
  2. THE GREAT UNKNOWN (IRE)
  3. LIGHTKEEPER (IRE)
