Verdict
ALVANIY’s challenge fell away in the closing stages over a longer trip here on his hurdling debut but he can go close on his second start for Willie Mullins who sent out last year’s winner. Harley Street also drops down in distance having finished runner-up at Down Royal on his hurdling bow and is preferred to Hashtag Pretender, who attempted to make all at Tramore but was no match for the winner once headed. Walmix and the hurdling debutant Smokey Putnum may prove best of the rest.
