Verdict

MY MATE MOZZIE warmed up for his third attempt on this race with a cracking placed effort at Royal Ascot in June and gets the nod to go two places better than last year. Jesse Evans is another who ran very well in this last year (finished second) and arrives fit from a spin on the Flat and heads the dangers along with Daddy Long Legs, one of eight from Willie Mullins, who is bidding for a sixth win in this since 2016. The shortlist is completed by Petrol Head, who sneaks in at the bottom.

  1. MY MATE MOZZIE (IRE)
  2. JESSE EVANS (IRE)
  3. DADDY LONG LEGS (FR)
