Verdict

OLD BILL BARLEY has been steadily progressive this season and arriving on the back of a solid third at Tipperary earlier this month, Willie Mullins' 7-y-o could well be the way to go. The main danger may emerge from Junior Rattler, who was in good order when last seen in the spring, with Jeriko de Baune and Karacole, who was runner-up from this mark here back in May, rounding off the shortlist.

  1. OLD BILL BARLEY (IRE)
  2. JUNIOR RATTLER (IRE)
  3. JERIKO DE BAUNE (FR)
