Verdict

Willie Mullins' unexposed O'MOORE PARK easily opened his account in novice company here last time and with that form working out well he looks the way to go now stepping into handicap company for the first time. Positive Thinker figures on a lenient mark and could emerge as the chief threat, with in-form pair Wild Shot and Kilbree Warrior also firmly in the picture in a competitive handicap.

  1. O'MOORE PARK (IRE)
  2. POSITIVE THINKER (IRE)
  3. WILD SHOT
