20/1
Going in the right direction this season, winning a bumper and two races over timber. This requires another step forward.

Done everything that's been asked of him thus far, latest two successes here coming over three-miles but has also won at this trip.

Death Duty21
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-10| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR:  146
5/6
Really looks the part this season and latest success at Navan the standout form coming into this contest.

Turcagua28
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-10| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR:  137
7/1
Career-best effort to score last time out at Punchestown but has a bit to find to get the better of Death Duty.

Likely still improving at this game but much more required to overturn form with Death Duty.

Augusta Kate45
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-3| J: Ruby Walsh| T: W P Mullins
11/4
Big reputation precedes her, never put a foot wrong on hurdles bow last month but this is a serious examination of her ability.

Forecasts

Death Duty (5/6), Augusta Kate (11/4), Turcagua (7/1), Blood Crazed Tiger (11/1), Stand Up And Fight (16/1), Bel Ami De Sivola (20/1)

Verdict

A field of six, where most are thriving ahead of this Grade One contest but DEATH DUTY is tough to oppose. He has looked impressive in three starts this term and can continue his ascent up the ranks at the main expense of the exciting mare Augusta Kate, who did little wrong in winning first time over timber. Blood Crazed Tiger should also be competitive while Bel Ami De Sivola continues to improve. 1. Death Duty 2. Augusta Kate 3. Blood Crazed Tiger
