Verdict

Having shown useful form in bumpers, EL CAIROS had the race at his mercy when falling after the last at Leopardstown on hurdling debut, so he looks to hold strong claims of gaining compensation this time around. The main danger could be Roc Dino, who bumped into a smart prospect on his first run for Willie Mullins, ahead of How's The Head.

  1. EL CAIROS (FR)
  2. ROC DINO (FR)
  3. HOW'S THE HEAD (IRE)
