Verdict

Willie Mullins saddles three including the Gigginstown-owned Measureofmydreams but the owner's retained jockey Bryan Cooper chooses Sub Lieutenant. Sandra Hughes' charge has been coming up against smart chasers since turning to fences though that's likely to be the case again. Classy hurdler Monksland has done well over the bigger obstacles and though beaten by Outlander in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown last weekend it was still an excellent run and he should be in the frame. He had Noble Endeavour behind when scoring at Gowran but the one they all have to beat is BLACK HERCULES (NAP). The winner of seven of his 10 starts if you include a point-to-point, he's a classy individual with the scope to reach the top level and he jumped superbly to land a Listed contest at Warwick last month.
