Verdict

The Gordon Elliott-trained FESTIVAL D'EX can add to his impressive win on debut over hurdles at Navan last month. The five-year-old is progressing well and can see off the attentions of the Willie Mullins-trained Monkfish and the Gigginstown House Stud-owned Run Wild Fred in a battle of high-profile buys. Vis Ta Loi in the colours of Hurricane Fly should not be underestimated.
  1. Festival D'ex
  2. Monkfish
