Verdict

All eyes will be on HEARTBREAK CITY as he gets in here with a feather weight. He won his last two over timber before a comfortable victory in the Ebor at York then produced an outstanding performance to finish runner-up in the Melbourne Cup. He's impossible to oppose off this mark despite having his first subsequent run. However, this has been a graveyard for favourites in the past though Willie Mullins has won it twice in recent years and has four entries near the top of the handicap. Ruby has chosen the very lightly raced Allblak Des Places, runner-up to stable companion Footpad in the Grade 1 Spring Juvenile Hurdle here in February but below par over 2m4f on heavy ground on his return. That's A Wrap has completed a hat-trick on similar ground to this though he is 3lb worse off with After Rain for beating him just over a length here last month so there's nothing between them. The selection's stable companion Golden Spear would be a realistic alternative if he didn't come up to scratch as he was in superb form on the Flat last summer and he will be suited by the likely strong pace here so should reach the frame.
