Both Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott are equally represented with a trio of runners. The latter saddles a couple of Cheltenham Festival Handicap winners (Blow By Blow and Delta Work) who seek to cut their teeth at a higher level, so it appears to be advantage Mullins. Ballyward is lightly raced over hurdles and needs to improve past his Albert Bartlett conqueror Kilbricken Storm, but could potentially do so with the Colin Tizzard seven-year-old generally strongest at Cheltenham. However, NEXT DESTINATION is the most likely winner after his solid effort (third) behind Samcro in the Ballymore. He should truly relish his first attempt at this 3m trip.
