Verdict

A nice prize has attracted a strong line-up with Willie Mullins running recent winners Rock Road and Mi Lighthouse. The latter makes her handicap debut over fences having scrambled home over 2m6f at Limerick and will be suited by the shorter trip, though the former may prove the pick as he's been in excellent form over hurdles and fences following a long break. FILS D'OUDAIRIES is now on his fourth trainer and has a poor completion rate over fences but he's on an attractive mark if getting his act together and ran a fine race over timber at Galway on his debut for Gordon Elliott. Smart hurdler Act Of God made the breakthrough over fences at Wexford while recent winners Arrycan and Ferdia are others to note in a competitive affair.
