Verdict

Preference is for MIGHTY TOM, who ran a cracker over hurdles at this meeting last year and looks nicely treated on switch to handicapping in this sphere. Saint Roi and Blood Destiny look the pick of Willie Mullins quartet and are feared most, whilst Pinkerton is also much respected.

  1. MIGHTY TOM (IRE)
  2. SAINT ROI (FR)
  3. BLOOD DESTINY (FR)
