Verdict

Lots of these offer potential, not least DON'TSTOPTHEMUSIC who is fancied to build on his excellent Fairyhouse third and add to his useful bumper success here. Willie Mullins' French recruit Kappa Jy Pyke is another who can have a big say, while A Dream To Share and Bowensonfire both enter calculations too in this highly intriguing contest.

  1. DON'TSTOPTHEMUSIC (IRE)
  2. KAPPA JY PYKE (FR)
  3. A DREAM TO SHARE (IRE)
