5/6

Useful hurdler who won a juvenile before finishing fourth in Grade 1 company at Leopardstown. Not seen since running on the Flat 8 months ago but sets the clear standard and looks the one to beat.

Got Glory¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Danny Mullins| T: W P Mullins

2/1

Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Fell 2 out in Irish EBF Mares' Hurdle at Leopardstown (19.8f, good, 33/1) 17 days ago, too far out to suggest outcome. One to consider on pick of form.

Form: P/12-PF

Forecasts

Bunting (5/6), Got Glory (2/1), Beckett Rock (5/1), Byker (8/1), Angostura (12/1), Ballycallan King (50/1)

Willie Mullins-trained pair BUNTING and Got Glory stand out on form and could have this between them, with the first named appealing as the more solid proposition. Beckett Rock has a bit to find with that pair but there's the potential for further improvement from him.
