Willie Mullins took this in 2015 with a mare (Gitane Du Berlais) making use of the 7lb sex allowance and he bids to repeat the trick with Laurina. A very smart hurdler the sharp trip may have caught her out last time but she was reported to have bled and made a series of novicey mistakes; she’ll need to be at her best to win this. Good Boy Bobby is a consistent sort but may be found wanting at this level whilst Itchy Feet faces a much stiffer test than an amble around Leicester he got last time. VISION DES FLOS needs to improve on what he’s done so far over fences but he has the potential to do so and is given a sporting vote, given he was a smart hurdler.
