Verdict

Willie Mullins has won this five times in recent years and JAZZAWAY should keep up the sequence. She's won three of her last four, including lucrative handicaps here and at Punchestown, and was only narrowly beaten in the other. She has race conditions in her favour and another victory looks on the cards. Quirt Evans completed a Tramore double before a narrow defeat at Killarney where he didn't get the run of the race while Thosedaysaregone won on the Flat at Dundalk in March and has raced in strong company over timber. The admirable Macgiloney won a Festival handicap here and was nowhere near right when tackling fences last time and Holymacapony could be anything. A very easy winner from Gaillard Du Mesnil at Punchestown in November, he was well beaten behind that rival in a Grade 1 novices' hurdle at Leopardstown in February.
