Verdict

Castello Sforza is carrying a penalty for a bumper victory in 2015 while Sisyphus is similarly penalised for two Flat victories in the UK. Shanwalla carries extra for a bumper success at Listowel earlier this month but Liam Gilligan's claim should help ease the burden. Randalls Ur Poet has now had 19 starts over hurdles without winning and though placed 12 times is hardly one to trust. The Big Galloper has bits of form that puts him in the frame and his stable has struck form but, in a poor maiden, a chance is taken with MOUNTAINMORE. Willie Mullins' mare has only shown limited ability in bumpers but she's bred to be a hurdler and this shouldn't take much winning.
