Verdict
BRING ON THE NIGHT, a dual winner for Andre Fabre back in early 2020, has an entry in the Supreme at Cheltenham and will need to win this to justify his place. Killer Mode will ensure the newcomer has a race as he wasn’t beaten far behind Hiaou at Punchestown and the winner could boost the form earlier. Winning bumper Snake Oil ran really well in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle on St Stephen’s Day and his stable is in cracking form. Changing The Rules looks best of the remainder.
