Verdict

Trainer Willie Mullins holds a strong hand in the shape of second reserve - Egality Mans who will be a big player if making the line-up - potential improver Valley Breeze and the disappointing PONT AVAL, who despite her recent performance at Down Royal last month, can take the closing race of the evening. Perennial runner-up, the Gordon Elliott-trained Braeside under Jamie Codd and the Charles Byrnes-trained Better Be Alright look to be the biggest dangers in the finale'.
