Verdict

KILBRICKEN STORM is the best of these over hurdles having won the Grade 1 Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham at this year’s festival before going close in the Irish version at Punchestown. Colin Tizzard’s charge looks the one to beat on his chasing bow. Mulcahys Hill was pulled-up behind the selection at Cheltenham but was narrowly beaten in the Challow Hurdle at Newbury earlier and could go well if taking to the larger obstacles while three-time winning hurdler Flemcara also makes his debut over fences. Just Your Type is less exposed having landed the odds over hurdles at Hereford in March and Samuel Jackson has also shown plenty of ability over timber.
