Verdict
As ever this great fixture begins with a low-grade hunters event and once again Enda Bolger is very well represented. Nina Carberry rides Be Positive while Derek O'Connor is on board Phar And Away so neither will lack expertise in the saddle. Robbie McNamara's presence on board Remarkable Man will ensure support while Kanesh and Finea are consistent between the flags and can go well. LORD HAWKFIELD finished runner-up to Zest For Life a year ago and looks as though he's been primed for a repeat so is taken to go one better.
