Verdict
HISAABAAT, runner-up in the Triumph Hurdle and winner of the Champion Four-Year-Old Hurdle at Punchestown, has a Grade 1 penalty to carry and faces a stiff test but he looks an exciting prospect and is handed the vote. Jezki will be a tough opponent in receipt of 11lb as Jessica Harrington's dual bumper winner gained an impressive victory over a strong field of maidens over the C&D last month. There's probably much more to come from the French import Gorgeous Sixty and with all the allowances Willie Mullins' filly looks a threat. None of the remainder can be entirely ruled out especially the progressive Pageboy, as he's been going well on the Flat.
