Verdict

Only a handful of these make any serious appeal and it's KILLANEY KING who gets the nod to build on his debut promise at the second attempt. Cadoudal Saint failed to land the odds in a Limerick bumper over Christmas but warrants considerable respect for the red-hot Willie Mullins yard, with Big Stage and Walk Away Harry another couple fancied to be involved.

  1. KILLANEY KING (IRE)
  2. CADOUDAL SAINT (FR)
  3. BIG STAGE (IRE)
