Verdict

Youmdor, twice a winner on the Flat in France and on his debut over timber for Willie Mullins, hasn't run since Cheltenham last year but Colin Keane has been booked so there's unlikely to be a lack of fitness. Stellium, who landed a Tramore maiden last summer, has been a bit disappointing subsequently though was conceding 9lb when runner-up at Fairyhouse. ONLY SKY won this a year ago and is just 1lb higher. She scored over timber in March and is taken to land this again. Kodiac Prince enjoys some cut in the ground while the lightly-raced Coeur d'Or ran moderately at Listowel after reappearing from a long break with a fine effort in a huge field at the Curragh.
