In depth

Verdict

Patrick Mullins' booking for Poppets Prince is intriguing as his mount finished tailed off on his only start to date. Nina Carberry is on board Cadeau Du Bresil, who finished a well-beaten runner-up in a three-horse contest at Punchestown and the winner has since been well beaten. GIANT SPIRIT made his debut over hurdles at Gowran in February and though eventually beaten a long way performed with credit and he should have enough pace for this bumper. Innocent Verdict was in the front rank for most of the way on her debut here in February and will have come on nicely for the experience while the newcomer Striggers Luck is out of a mare who won over 6f so he should have plenty of pace. Car Park Purchase has six winning relatives so he's another newcomer to keep on the right side.
