Verdict

ANSWERING arrives on the up over hurdles so is fancied to go one better than when a very good runner-up here last time out and get off the mark. Ballycallan King rates a big threat on form and is next on the list, although both An Peann Dearg and Targa Flavio need factoring in too.

  1. ANSWERING (IRE)

  3. AN PEANN DEARG (IRE)
