In depth

Verdict

Mighty Stowaway showed promise in a bumper here in March and made a very encouraging start over hurdles in a huge field at Naas when finding only Baltazar D'Allier too strong. He'll take some beating but this could be the day PYLONTHEPRESSURE redeems himself. Willie Mullins' charge has been an odds-on chance for his last three runs but beaten in all of them though not far by useful rivals. Cant Wait hasn't looked like winning over timber so far while Kilcrea Bridge was beaten a long way in a bumper at Cork after a fair debut over hurdles on this track.
